Crowds are likely to be less during week days. Nevertheless, I would purchase a ticket in advance on the website (see above). It is not a timed ticket so you don't have to stress about getting there at a particular time but same day tickets do often sell out. No fun to travel there and not be able to do it.
A group of 6 with ages ranging from teens to 50+ all had a great time. You might (as we did) adopt the phrase "damn birds" after a while though
