We have always visited Sea World on day one, it is one of the less crowded of the parks, a gentle introduction for what is to come over the next two weeks.

Or Japanese whaling fleets
There really is no point in coming to see the Orca show, (back in the day it was Shamu) unless you are prepared to get wet.
