The Farmington center is about the area of E 3 Children's Museum and the area of Downtown Farmington.
The climate in Farmington includes cold winters with about 12 inches of snowfall per year and very hot summers. If you can brave the cold, visit in the winter months to score great deals on hotel rooms. Even though it's chilly, wear your sunscreen, as the rays are harsh and bright all year long. The most pleasant weather occurs in the late spring through early summer, although hotel prices are higher during the summer especially.
One of the biggest events of the year is the Connie Mack World Series, an amateur baseball tournament that draws athletes from around the country. The event takes place starting at the end of July and running through the beginning of August, so hotel prices tend to creep up around this time.
