Family visiting from Chicago. They will be here 8 days in Carlsbad, CA (where we live) in the third week of July. All visits will be to San Diego attractions. There will be four adults, four children (ages 7,7,7 & 4), and two seniors. We already have season passes to Legoland (my wife, 7 year old & me) and pretty much know the best deals there. I am looking for tips for best deals on the zoo/wild animal park & Sea World. Also anything else you might think of. Thanks
David

for just those 3 attractions, there's the 3-for-1 pass which offers unlimited admission to each for a period of 5 days. a little less than $100 for adults and $75 for children (and you may need a couple of days at san diego zoo if you want to really see it all).

the san diego zoo is also part of balboa park which has quite a few additional museums and attractions, most very reasonable prices including free days and multi-museum admission passes.

for the best prices on individual tickets, costco.com seems to have everyone beat in terms of what they offer. for example, legoland is $35/adult & $30/child. For $20/$17, you can get the 'ultimate experience' ticket for the aerospace museum in balboa park.
