Best time to Visit the Everglades
The Everglades is broken into two seasons: wet season and dry season. The Wet Season is from June through November, and the Dry Season is from December through May. The dry season is the high season when visitors explore the park with milder temperatures and less rainfall. We visited in January during the dry season.
