BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO THE EVERGLADES PARK

You can visit the Park any time of the year, but the best time to visit the Everglades is undoubtedly winter, after summer floods in the prairies receded.

Summer is a bad season to visit the Everglades: mosquitoes, humidity and afternoon storms make visits uncomfortable and reduce most of the park activities.

As an alternatively to winter months you may opt by transitional months as March or September, or October and November. They are also good months to visit the Everglades with one advantage: hotel rates are lower than in the most popular season.

Some additional notes:

- June to October is the hurricane period, but US National Weather Service tracks carefully these storms and gives ample warning if there is any need to evacuate.

- Especially packed days, weeks and weekends: Presidents' Day weekend (February), Easter week, Memorial Day weekend (end of May), the Fourth of July, Labour Day weekend (September), Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO THE EVERGLADES

Avoid the summer season (June to October). The Everglades Park activity is in its lower level, and mosquitoes, humidity and afternoon storms make the period a very disadvantageous one.
