When's the best time to visit Everglades National Park?

I’m planning a trip to Florida this year, but I want to visit Everglades National Park. I can go at any time, but I’m not sure if there’s a particular time of the year that’s better than others. What’s the best time to visit Everglades National Park?

Everglades National Park is one of the more popular natural sites in
Florida
, welcoming more than 1 million visitors each year. The best time to visit Everglades National Park is in winter and early spring to avoid crowds and the dreaded mosquitoes that are almost unbearable during summer and fall.
Since you’re in the middle of planning your trip, consider a few of these activities for your itinerary:
  • Bike through Shark Valley for an up-close view of alligators and other animals.
  • Take a ranger-guided canoe or boat tour through the swamps of the park.
  • Take an airboat tour with one of the three operators in the park.
  • Do some birdwatching—the Everglades is home to 360 different species of birds.
The Everglades are far more rural than almost any other area of Florida. For some added peace of mind, you may want to consider
towing and labor coverage
, which acts just like roadside assistance. Explore the
