💡 Tips for Visiting in October
Early-to-mid October (before half-term) offers the best balance of weather, crowds, and Halloween fun.
Book Halloween Horror Nights tickets well in advance - popular houses hit 2-hour waits on busy nights.
Half-term week (Oct 26-30) sells out for character dining and special events - book 60 days ahead.
This is ideal weather for full park days without needing midday heat breaks.
