It is a beautiful, relaxing park but I disagree that you can do the park by 3 or 4pm. To see all the shows alone could take almost an entire day(Shamu Adventure, Clyde and Seamore( the sea lion show), Pets Ahoy, Odyssea, Fusion, the beer school, Blue Horizons, and even Shamu rocks America( the night killer whale show).Then you have the rides like Kraken, Journey to atlantis, Wild Arctic.You also have walk through attractions like the Penguin Encounter, You could spend half an hour at Dolphin Cove touching the dolphins and seeing them in the underwater viewing area, The Shark encounter, the stingray lagoon, pacific point preserve. You might want to go up in the observation tower, inside wild arctic you can see the polar bears, beluga whales and walruses from above and underwater.And most important, a stop by the hospitality center to pick up some free beer! Don't forget some shopping and Dining in their new Waterfront area. It's a park that can definitely be done in a day but you better get there early and pick up a map to see the show times and schedule your day around them.
