๐ŸŒท April

One of the best months to visit. Weekdays: 5-30 min average wait. Weekends: 10-40 min. Day to avoid: 25 April (Liberation Day). Also watch out for the Easter long weekend and Easter Monday, the busiest day of the Easter period.

๐ŸŒธ May

Busier than April but still moderate: great for avoiding summer and the end of the school year. Weekdays: 10-45 min. Weekends: 10-50 min. Day to avoid: 1 May (Labour Day).

โ˜€๏ธ June

The first summer month, when crowds start to build up. Levels stay similar to May until schools break up. Weekdays: 10-55 min. Weekends: 10-65 min. Day to avoid: 2 June (Republic Day).

๐ŸŽ‡ July

Busy but manageable crowds. Weekdays: 5-60 min. Weekends: 10-70 min. No day to avoid: from late June, Gardaland Night is Magic is on, with the park open in the evening and very short waits (5-30 min from 6pm to 11pm).

๐Ÿ–๏ธ August

The heart of summer: busy but still manageable. Weekdays: 5-60 min. Weekends: 10-70 min. Day to avoid: 15 August (Ferragosto / Assumption Day). Night is Magic is also on in August, with evening waits of just 5-30 min.

๐Ÿ‚ September

A month of two halves: in the first few days (before school starts) waits run 10 to 75 min; after the school year begins, they drop to 5-45 min on weekdays. From 14 to 29 September it's Gardaland Oktoberfest, with the park open until 9pm on Saturdays. If possible, it's best to visit after school starts.

๐ŸŽƒ October / November

The park transforms for Gardaland Magic Halloween and is only open on weekends, which concentrates the crowds: average waits between 10 and 75 min. No particular day to avoid, but 31 October brings the Halloween Party, with the park open until midnight and a DJ set in Piazza Ramses.

๐ŸŽ„ December / January

The park dresses up for Gardaland Magic Winter. If you don't mind the cold and won't miss the water rides, it's a great time to visit: waits generally between 5 and 40 min. Days to avoid: 26, 30 and 31 December, when crowds are heavier.
