Discover & Explore on Tallahassee Holidays
Brimming with blossoming camellias and magnolias, the picturesque Maclay Gardens State Park is a fragrant way to start Tallahassee holidays. Open to the public as a museum, the park offers biking, hiking and equestrian trails, as well as kayaking, canoeing and fishing facilities. The city’s Automobile Museum, the Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science, and the Old State Capital Museum—which has been restored to how it would have looked in 1902—are also popular attractions.
As a busy university town, holidaymakers will have plenty of chances to attend a college football, baseball or basketball match. Walk, skate, or cycle around the scenic Lake Ella, which is attached to Fred Drake Park. The park features picnic shelters, a site for community activities, a paved walking trail as well as quaint shops and cafés. Apalachicola National Forest is a short drive away, where visitors can explore the woods, observe wildlife, and enjoy the area’s natural beauty. Another popular attraction is Natural Bridge Battlefield State Historic Site, which features Civil War monuments and offers picnic facilities.
