When people think of vacationing in Florida, they think of Miami, the Keys, or Disney World… but what if I told you Tallahassee and its underrated attractions are also worth a trip?
Often overlooked as a tourist destination in the sunshine state, Tallahassee remains an enigma to most of Florida’s visitors. Some recognize “Tally” for being a home to politicians given its status as the state capital. Some know it as a wild college town given that both Florida State University and the famous HBCU Florida A&M are located there. And some lump Tallahassee together with its neighboring cities as just another small town in the Florida that oft-forgotten yet gorgeous terrain in the northwestern part of the state.
Well, I’m here to argue there’s more to the city than divisive politicians, frat parties, and FSU and FAMU football. A lot more.
What if I told you Tallahassee is home to an infamous witch’s grave? Or a 52-acre nature preserve that features dinosaur exhibits made out of used car parts? Or how about an art district that hosts an array of local businesses including one of the last video rental stores in Florida and a used bookstore that doubles as a home for rescued cats?
