What is the best time to visit Springfield?

The best time to be in Springfield is between June to September. With temperatures warm enough to let you enjoy the culture and heritage of the historic town, May through August is the favorite time for tourists to visit Springfield. June, July and August especially sees a peak in hotel prices and may even be difficult to get a reservation in the museums. Warm sunny weather invites most tourists who enjoy a good time rediscovering the history and political ideologies of the 19th-century Statesman, Abraham Lincoln. Early spring and mid-fall too host some tourists who enjoy chilly sunny weather. Average temperatures varying from 45 to 65 F during this time provide rooms at a lower rate and are agreeable enough for site seeing in and around the town. Winters can be uncomfortably chilly with temperatures ranging from single digits to negatives at nightfall. This is time for you if you are seeking indoor activities in the town. December is the off-peak season and the ideal time to be in Illinois if you enjoy lesser crowds also taking advantage of the lower hotel fares.
