Crowd notes

Wednesday and Monday are often the best days to go for shorter lines, while Friday and Saturday tend to be the busiest. The most popular months are typically July, August and April, while September, November and December are normally quieter. To get the most out of your day we recommend arriving early and leaving late. Make sure to check the live wait times on our site throughout the day to stay ahead of the crowds.
