Experience a different kind of underwater world at the Gulf Specimen Aquarium. Forget attractions like dancing porpoises and mincing sharks; come see seahorses and hermit crabs, emerald eyed spiny box fish, electric rays and red and white spotted calico crabs to discover the tiniest sea creatures swimming around in the waters of the Florida coast.

Bird watchers land at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Tallahassee on 68, 000 acres spreading over coastal marshes, islands, tidal creeks and the estuaries of seven north Florida rivers. It's a bird watchers paradise, with hundreds of feathered friends from pelicans to hawks to pigeons and doves inhabiting the area. If it has wings, it's flying here!

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.
