Best time to go to Willmar

Well, hello there fellow adventurers! We're about to embark on a virtual field trip to a lesser-known gem of the US heartland, the charming city of Willmar, Minnesota. So, fasten your seat belts, or should I say, tighten your hiking boots, and let's dive in!

Best month to visit Willmar

If you were to ask me, and I'm guessing you just did, the absolute best time to shimmy on down to Willmar is in September. The heat of the summer has all but faded, leaving behind a delightfully moderate climate that's just perfect for some outdoor exploration! Not to mention, the fall colors are on full display and are an absolute treat to the eyes. Mother Nature, you are truly the most accomplished of artists!

Cheapest time to go to Willmar

Should a lighter visit to the wallet be on your agenda, might I suggest planning your Willmar adventure in November? Airfare and hotel rates tend to do their best chameleon impression and become almost invisible (well, relatively) during this time of the year. And don't you worry about missing out, as even though it's off-season, the city doesn't scrimp on any of its vibrant charm!

Worst time of year to visit Willmar

Oh dear! The perils of winter, which Minnesota is famously (or rather infamously) known for, make the early months of the year a tad challenging for visiting. January and February in particular give you a chilly reception with temperatures that would seem right at home in a snowman's winter wonderland. Unless you're a polar bear, or a fan of icicles growing on your nose, better steer clear of these months.
