When is the best time to visit Everglades?

The best time to visit Everglades National Park is during the dry season, from November to April. The weather is cooler and drier then, making it more pleasant to explore the park's many trails and waterways. The dry season is also when the wildlife is most active, as many animals migrate to the park to escape the heat and humidity of the summer months.
