What is the best time to visit Jackson?

The best time to visit Jackson is from March to May and then September to November. These months are comparatively cooler than the hottest summer months of June July and August and provide a better experience touring the cityscape. The beautiful temperate weather of Jackson City from March to May is the perfect time to explore the nature trails of the parks and the wide collection of wildlife in the Jackson Zoological Park. The weather in the Months of September through November also permits touring the historic sites and venturing into the wilderness of the LeFleur's Bluff State Park. Eco freaks seem to flock the Mississippi Petrified Forest and Museum of Natural Sciences to their heart’s delight.

The summer months of June to August see tourists venture out the Pearl River and its thrills of paddling and kayaking. Some also find solace among the wildlife and nature trails while making their way through the foliage-covered trails of the Bluff State Park.

Winter months of December through February see a lesser crowd and the chills of low temperatures dominate the city’s climate. This is a good time to explore the city if one is looking to enjoy colder climates and avoid the tourist crowd.
