How Crowded Is Marsh - Billings - Rockefeller National Historical Park in November?

That average of about 36°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter.

Because June, July and August together draw about 41% 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 9.4 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 8.8-hour midwinter low and the 15.2-hour summer high.
