Tallahassee Museum
Zoos / Aquariums, Tallahassee
Fodor's Review:
About 20 minutes from downtown, this bucolic park showcases a peaceful and intriguing look at Old Florida. Although called a museum, this is really a working 1880s pioneer farm that offers daily hands-on activities for children, such as soap making and blacksmithing. A boardwalk meanders through the 52 acres of natural habitat that make up the zoo, which has such varied animals as panthers, bobcats, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, red wolves, hawks, owls, otters, and black bears -- many of which were brought here injured or orphaned. Also on-site are nature trails, a one-room schoolhouse dating from 1897, and an 1840s Southern plantation manor, where you can usually find someone cooking on the weekends. It's peaceful, pleasing, and educational.
