Florida State University Family Guide
Welcome to Tallahassee
Near, but far from the world of amusement parks, lies another magical place — one of pow-wows, plantations, politics and great pride. Often described as “The Other Florida” with its deep-rooted history, rolling hills, canopy roads and Southern-style hospitality, Tallahassee is a Florida few have seen.
We invite you to discover Tallahassee, an intimate neo-metropolitan city where the power of state government, the academic and the artistic are complemented by subtle, old-fashioned charm. Touting a myriad of sights including one of the world’s deepest freshwater springs, a wildlife habitat, Capitol buildings, fascinating museums, sprawling plantations, civil rights monuments, highly-acclaimed fishing and hunting adventures, and nearby beaches, Tallahassee offers an extraordinary experience for visitors and residents, alike.
