Crowd level 1 means the lightest crowds with walk-on waits for most attractions. Level 10 means the busiest days with 90+ minute waits for popular rides and packed walkways. Levels 1-3 are ideal for visiting, 4-6 are moderate, and 7-10 require strategic planning or Express Pass.
We use Universal's own dynamic pricing as the primary signal - when Universal raises ticket prices, they're predicting higher demand. We blend this with historical patterns and label confidence levels. Days marked 'High confidence' have strong agreement across multiple data sources.
Based on Feb-Apr 2026 data, the best days are typically Tuesday-Thursday in early February and late April. Avoid spring break weeks (mid-March through early April) and holiday weekends like Presidents Day and Easter. Check the calendar for specific dates rated 1-3 for lowest crowds.
Epic Universe is the newest park with cutting-edge attractions. Islands of Adventure offers thrilling rides like Hagrid's and VelociCoaster. Universal Studios Florida features movie-themed experiences and Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. Use the calendar to compare crowd levels and choose based on your interests and desired wait times.
