We analyse the past to predict the future: crowds at theme parks, conditions at the beach.
Best Time to Go is an independent website based in France, built by a small team of data enthusiasts. It started with a simple question: when is the best day to go? Fewer people in the queues, a calmer beach, better weather. The answer is in the data, so we collect it every day and turn it into forecasts anyone can read in a few seconds.
The same team runs Meteosensible (in French) and 30A Beach Flag Predictions for Florida's Highway 30A.
Our scripts collect data automatically, several times a day: wait times posted for each ride, weather forecasts, school holiday calendars, park opening days and events, and, for the beach, official flags, sea conditions and water temperature.
Each forecast starts from comparable days we have already observed, then is adjusted for the day of the week, holidays, events and the weather forecast. The models are regularly recalibrated against what actually happened, so they keep improving as our history grows.
Forecasts are estimates, not guarantees: always check official information (park opening hours, beach flags flying on site) before you go.
Best Time to Go is not affiliated with Disneyland Paris, Europa-Park, Nigloland, Walton County or any of the places we cover, and does not represent them. Park and place names are used only to describe the forecasts.
