The Goodwood Museum & Gardens sit on 16 acres of sprawling lawns, gardens, and century-old oaks in Tallahassee. Nature lovers delight in discovering the outdoor beauty of what was once a cotton plantation, and seeing today's grounds owing its stately charm to the informal array of Old Garden Roses, oak trees and magnolias.
Go on a wild adventure at the Tallahassee Museum. Visit a zoo devoted exclusively to animals in their natural habitat. Forget about walking from exhibit to exhibit, instead you walk across the outdoor boardwalk attraction situated inside a towering cypress forest to see wild panthers, rare red foxes and other wildlife up-close and in the wild.
Naturally, the Apalachicola National Forest is a Tallahassee treasure. This forest covers 571,088 acres and is home to many scenic lakes, rivers, streams and springs which add up to hours of outdoor recreational fun for everyone. This national treasure is the ideal destination off the beaten trail.
You might get rattled at an athletic event at Florida A&M University! Both the men's and women's teams are nicknamed the Rattlers, and the women's flag football team sports six national championships in the last four years. Enjoy watching the teams play in eight separate sports at various venues, including the Bragg Memorial Stadium, the Al Lawson Center, and the Moore-Kittles Field.
