I would assume Saturday during the day is the busiest. But I would say outside of getting a snack/eating, it won’t matter. It’s a big place and we went on a busy Saturday and that was the only issue I had. (Even part of that was people “saving” and “using” chairs that could have had people sit on them when they weren’t using them. I can’t help rude selfish people.).
