Tallahassee is home to some of the state’s most prestigious universities, most notably Florida State University and Florida A&M University. Florida State is the oldest continuous site of higher education in Florida, and Florida A&M (Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University), has parts of the campus listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While both schools attract flocks of visitors for games and other special events year round, both campuses provide the perfect setting for a scenic walking tour.
Outdoor recreational options are plentiful in the Tallahassee area with beautiful places like the Apalachicola National Forest, located 10 miles south of the city. The Apalachicola National Forest, the largest U.S. National Forest in the state, provides more than 500,000 acres of pristine forest, woodland, rivers and springs perfect for boating, canoeing, biking, horseback riding, hiking and more. The Museum of Florida History is a great place for history buffs to explore the state’s history. Opened in 1977 as the official museum of Florida, the Museum of Florida History focuses on artifacts and eras unique to Florida’s development as well as famous Floridians and their roles in national and global events.
Located in downtown Tallahassee is the Challenger Learning Center, a 32,000 square foot facility. The Challenger Learning Center features an IMAX theater, a high-definition planetarium and a state-of-the-art space mission simulator that kids of all ages will enjoy.
