Christmas at Ripley's Aquarium Myrtle Beach

Looking for an excuse to visit Ripley's Myrtle Beach Aquarium?

The aquarium is partnering with Toys for Tots to bring the spirit of Christmas to children who are less fortunate and who may not have any gifts to open Christmas morning without the aid of this charity organization.

Toys for Tots collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes them to needy children in the same locale where the gifts were collected. So you'll be helping kids right here in town.

Local businesses, like the aquarium in Myrtle Beach, play a huge role in making this toy drive a success by offering discounts on products and services in exchange for a gift (or two!) for a less fortunate child.

Bring a brand new, unwrapped toy to Ripley's Aquarium and receive a discount for more than half off the standard admission price.

Ticket prices are normally $21.99 for adults and $12.99 for kids, but when each person brings a new toy, the admission price is reduced to just $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for kids.

It's a great price for a great cause.

The gift drive is running from now through December 19, 2012. Ripley's Aquarium is located at 1110 Celebrity Circle, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588
