Which day for Sea World and Zoo

[littlelulu33]

We will be in San Diego Sat-Wed. We were thinking of doing a rest day/beach etc on Sat. We will have just done the week before at DL. Sun. for Sea World or Zoo then Mon or Tues at the one we do not do on Sun then Wed go to the Safari park for the day on the way to Carlsbad.
So which days would work best for Sea World and the Zoo?

Thanks

Check hours for Sea World for the planned days. We really enjoy the night time shows.

Weekends are generally more crowded at all the parks.

Crowds at SW cause very long waits for Shipwreck Rapids and most likely the new Manta ride. Journey to Atlantis and Wild Arctic rides have short to moderate lines even on busy days. Midday may see brief long lines. Shows aren't a problem on busy days as long as you arrive early but do require better planning.

Crowds at the Zoo cause long waits for the bus tour except early morning. Also expect long waits at the Panda exhibit and the aerial sky tram. Otherwise high crowds are not an issue.
