Best Weeks in 2026

The strongest stretches are Jan 12-30, Feb 3-12, May 4-14, and Sep 14-24. These are the weeks where the calendar, school patterns, and pricing signals line up.

Worst Weeks in 2026

The roughest dates cluster in Mar 23-Apr 10, late June through July, Oct 12-31, and Dec 18-31. If October is still on the table, read the October crowd guide before you treat it like a normal fall trip.

How to Use This Calendar

Rule out Saturdays first. Then target Tuesday through Thursday dates inside the softer stretches. Finally, validate those dates against the best-times guide and the school-breaks calendar before you book hotels or tickets.

What the score does not tell you

A 4 in July is not the same as a 4 in February

Summer carries a heavier baseline: longer hours, slower walkways, and a park that stays full later into the night. If you are looking at summer dates, pair this calendar with the July crowd guide so you understand what a "manageable" score actually feels like on the ground.
