Title: Friday crowd
Post by: amberd on November 09, 2012, 11:06:35 AM
Hi I was wanting to know if I better to go on a friday during christmas time? We always have gone on saterdays. We are planning  a trip for next weekend but we want to make sure the kiddos get to ride some rides so I was wondering If it would be better to go friday not on saterday!

Saturdays are almost always the most crowded day of the week no matter what time of the year. Fridays are almost always the second most crowded day of the week, followed by Sundays.

So Friday will be busy, but not as busy a Saturday. Definitely worth a change in pace. :)

So you're saying get there early to meet the crowd rather than beat the crowd? :P

If Thursdays are an option at all, they were very light last night and I understand from the others in the carving shop that they always are.  Thanksgiving would likely be an exception.

We went to the early Black Friday last (7:00 - 12:00 I think?)  We had the place to ourselves, but no rides, shows, and few restaurants open.  It was GREAT!!  The droves were flocking in as we left!  Yeah, it was SLAM!
