Tallahassee served as Florida's First Capitol because it was located midway between St. Augustine…read moreand Pensacola. Lawmakers needed a central location as the journey from east Florida to west Florida was treacherous during the early 1800s. On a mission to find a mutually agreeable location, two sets of explorers met midway at former abandoned Native American settlement known as Anhaica. This became early Tallahassee which means Old Town (Talia+Hasi) in Creek/Seminole. The first Florida Capitol was a log cabin built in 1824. One hundred years later, a temporary replica was built. Another temporary full sized replica was built in 1974 for the sesquicentennial celebration. My dad was on that committee which inspired him to advocate for building a permanent replica for the bicentennial celebration in 2024. It was so interesting to hear about the process of building this most recent First Florida Capitol replica. So many people donated their time and energy. From sifting through historical records, to creating authentic floor plans when few existed, to donations of logs, to getting permits, it was a challenging to bring this project, a dream for my dad, to life. Having grown up in Tallahassee, I have always loved Florida history. It is nice to see a piece of history being brought back to life and to have my family play a role in that legacy. Florida is so different from when my grandparents moved to south Florida a century ago in the 1920s. I am happy to see history preserved while the city and state continue to grow. #2900

One of the best areas in Tallahassee right here! Cascades Park is a beautiful and sprawling park &…read moreleisure area close to downtown that's perfect for a walk, run, family outing or other activities in the fresh air. There are walking paths that loop around and through and must go for several miles. They have a small amphitheater in the middle where I'm sure there are performances and concerts here and there. A big splash pad is on one side, and I know the kiddos love that especially on a warmer day. They have a big playground on the other side, and there are some bathrooms as well just in case. Intertwined are some pond/ creek areas that add to the beauty of this park. It's a super lovely walk around, and my favorite part are the pillars towards one end that tell the history of Tallahassee- racial tensions, civil war and repair and more. It brings more light onto the capitol city and its roots.

Fred George Greenway and Park is a cool little oasis in the midst of city life in Tallahassee,…read moreFlorida. It has sports fields, a children's playground, a greenway, a nice pavilion, and more. I enjoyed walking the trail and overall, thought it was a great park to head towards if you are in the Tallahassee, Florida area. I was here about three o'clock or maybe three thirty and the park had quite a few people on the property. I had to look up who Fred George was. It turns out that he was a game warden. He was also a farmer and property owner in Leon County, Florida. He was born in 1890 in Georgia, but moved to Tallahassee as a young boy. Fred George passed away in 1983 at the age of ninety-three. But it is in this park that his name and memory lives on. I would definitely recommend a visit here.

I saw that Tomahawks was doing a deal on Valentine's Day for a % off if you booked online, so I did just that! When we got there, it was pretty packed. We check in in, ordered a drink and got to meet the friendly staff people that would end up taking care of us for our hour-long journey. We got in a short how-to lesson and then got right to work with our 'partners' (you somewhat share a lane with another couple unless you came with 4 people). I somehow never really caught on to how to throw axes very well, but everyone around me seemed to pick it up pretty seamlessly. We still had tons of fun even though I sucked at it. It was also very satisfying when I finally scored the occasional target! By the time an hour is up, you're pretty exhausted but also happy with your handiwork. My fiancée has been back for their 'throw and bro' Thursday's, where it only costs the guys $20 to throw on Thursday's.

To start my wife's goggles were so scratched she had trouble seeing, mine weren't much better. She tried a few and all were pretty low visibility. The jumpsuits were clean, but there was no neck protection. Multiple times glass was flying fast and hit us. Overall, we had a lot of fun smashing things, and had to purchase many other items to smash as one crate was not enough for our hearts desire!

Picnic pavilions, swimming pool, tennis courts, softball fields and much, much more make up Myers Park. Plenty of shade is provided by the canopy trees throughout the park. A notable mention was the horse shoe throwing area that had horse shoes ready to throw! I actually threw a dead ringer within a couple of throws! The park is relatively large and with what seems to be ample parking. Located in an older residential part of Tallahassee, Myers Park seems to be a great place to throw a BBQ or birthday party or simply to get out and meander around the densely wooded acreage which is very beautiful.
