Tallahassee Museum

Occupying 52 acres of pristine manicured gardens and wilderness on the outskirts of Tallahassee, near the airport, this wonderful natural-history museum features living exhibits of Floridian flora and fauna – including the incredibly rare Floridan panther and red wolf – and has delighted visitors for more than 60 years. Be sure to check out the otters, or try ziplining above the canopy in the Tree to Tree Adventures – a variety of scenarios are available, costing $17 to $45 depending on the options.
