New york + Wonderland this summer

[crazy B]

Hey everyone.

 

This summer i'm planning my first trip to the States and i could use some helpful tips.

I want to visit a few parks, but not many because there's already so much to see there.

 

I would start the trip in NY, stay a couple of days then head on to Niagara Falls from both sides and then move up to Canada's Wonderland. Maybe stay a couple of days in Toronto and then move back to NY.

 

When is possibly the best time to visit the states near Summer? As i want to see as much as possible i was hoping on some parks which are open during school. I'm afraid that the holiday would spoil it a bit due to the crowd.

 

Any sightseeings or must see are also welcome, thx.

You'd probably want to look at late May, early June.

 

Schools in Ontario go till late June. Though I believe schools in the US may get out earlier. Although you still run the risk of lots of class trips at this time. Although early June is still typically not too busy.

 

May though you'll need to confirm that everything is open, as some parks don't normally go to daily operation until mid May. May weather can also be a bit more unpredictable then June.

Thanks, that was the time i had in mind.

And what about near the end of September, begin October?

I heard on a Dutch forum that the parks are open then and waiting times are very decent.

^Again that time of year you'll have to be careful as a lot of the parks are down to weekends only. Plus the parks that are open will most likely have some sort of Halloween Event on the weekend that could make them even more crowded.

Thanks for the quick answer. Then I will plan it begin June normally.

 

I'm looking forward to it. There's just too much I want to see in the States.
