Mean of 93 park forecasts for each day of October 2026. A score is how busy the day is expected to be against that park's own busiest days, so 30 at Efteling and 30 at Cedar Point mean the same thing: a quiet one.

The calendars people open most.

Each one is a whole month of days, coloured from quiet to packed. Open it to see the hours, the weather and the queues to expect.

Park by park, day by day.

One row per park, one square per day of October, the busiest parks first. The number is the park's average for the month; the colour is the day.
