The beginning of the little dipper is the north star, if you live in the northern hemisphere you can see the north star all year round so you can see the little dipper all year round.

At night. Once it's dark enough, it really doesn't matter; as long as you are north of about 30N, it'll be visible all night. One problem; the stars in Ursa Minor are all fairly dim. If you are in or near a city, it will be VERY difficult to see. Try going out into the country away from the city lights.
