Covid-19 Precautions?
As for Covid-19, all guests are required to wear masks, and they do have staff members going around actively enforcing the rule. While there were times areas were getting pretty busy, we would simply move along to lower traffic areas.
We arrived at the park at 9 am on a Tuesday and the park did not feel crowded. We felt safe and were able to social distance ourselves from others. The park does a good job putting up ropes or barriers in areas where people would normally gather to continue the flow of traffic.
Should you go?
In October? Yes, you should. We felt safe during our time in the park. Like every place we visit this year we recommend getting there when they open. The sooner you can do that, the easier it will be to avoid the crowds and enjoy your time.
