Established in 1824 as the state’s capital city, Tallahassee is well known for its history, trees and culture. And one of the city’s many museums does more than put those attributes on display – it brings it to life.
The Tallahassee Museum is more than its name; it is a living collection of all things Florida. Established in 1957 and lush with North Florida’s native flora and fauna on 52 acres of land in the southwestern section of the city, the museum gives visitors a glimpse into Florida’s rawest and most natural form.
The museum offers something new to over 100,000 adventurers who visit each year. Whether it be ziplining through long leaf pine and cypress trees on the Tree-to-Tree adventure, encountering dozens of wildlife residents, or strolling through an old plantation house, there is something for everyone.
What makes the Tallahassee Museum special?
Otters, panthers, alligators, black bears and other endangered species live on the property in enclosures that have been hardly altered since all the animals are native to the area and comfortable in the climate.
