How Crowded Is Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site in February?

February runs about 0.8× Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a quiet month here — roughly 7% of the park's yearly visitors come in February.

In a typical February the park sees roughly 1,300 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes February the 11th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the October peak (1.2×) and the January low (0.6×).

On our Best Time to Visit score February rates 31/100 ("Poor"), versus the top-rated June at 69/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical February weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 42°F and an overnight low around 30°F, with about 3.2" of precipitation and roughly 10" of snow.

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

Because June, July and August together draw about 26% of annual visitors, choosing February instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 10.4 hours of daylight in February to explore — between the 9.1-hour midwinter low and the 14.9-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2024 drew 25,086 recreation visits, up 26.1% from 19,892 in 2023.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 23.7%, so February may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
