It is never busy on the 4th.  We always tell people that the best days to go to parks are actually holidays.  Now the days around them.... busy, busy, busy

We always go on Sunday or Monday morning.;.  No way I could tell you the last time I was there on a sat?,  Unless it was a sat nite during OTC...

Weekdays, especially when school is in session, are always good, too. Avoid Saturdays at all cost unless you love long lines and big crowds.

Last year the only time my family, and I had a chance to visit Old Time Christmas was Thanksgiving weekend. Saturday was so busy that people were entering the park next to the Candy Factory. This year we have decided to visit a little earlier in November - and in the middle of the week! ;)

Haha thanks Sand! Although, if I did go on Wednesday in November I could bring the attendance record up 100% from 0 to 1. :D

That's true!!  But you would have to stand in line for hours!!!  With no operators on duty, and you might get thirsty/hungry too.........LOL
