How Crowded Is Manassas National Battlefield Park in November?

November runs about 0.9× Manassas National Battlefield Park's average month, which makes it an average month here — roughly 8% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees about 40,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes November the 9th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the April peak (1.3×) and the January low (0.5×).

On our Best Time to Visit score November rates 45/100 ("Fair"), versus the top-rated May at 64/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 56°F and an overnight low around 35°F.

That average of about 46°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter.

Because June, July and August together draw about 30% of annual visitors, choosing November instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 9.8 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 9.3-hour midwinter low and the 14.7-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 473,482 recreation visits, down 12.6% from 541,965 in 2024.
