There are shop, a VR reality spot, a bar, a food court, artist galley/shops, a coffee shop, a smoothie shop, screen printing stores, gift stores and boutiques, thrift stores, music and recording studios, pet stores, performing arts groups, a virtual reality arcade, and a gym. There is also an awesome Skate Art Park here if you would like to shred a few. Some notable shops include Blake's Body Bars, Cap City Video Lounge, Campus Greek, Cat Family Records, What You Got? Thrift Store, The Other Side Vintage, Sweet Boozy Cakes Bakery, Ryder's Water Ice, Morgan's Dog Training, Prime Tatoo Company, The Greenery Floral&Tuxedo Place, The Bee's Knees, Steelyard Gym, and Taste of Miami. There is over 200 free parking spaces in the park and there is free street parking within a reasonable walking distance. There is a patch of open green space outside of the virtual reality arcade. I saw some people playing catch there and also playing with a volleyball. On the first Friday of every month, the park hosts the very popular "First Friday Gallery Hop," an event that provides a lively, enjoyable experience with open galleries/shops, live music, and food. I really enjoyed this place. This is a must visit while you are in Tallahassee. You can easily spend a half day or more here. It is easily accesible and I highly recommend checking this place out if you have the chance.

I struck up conversations with several co-attendees and a couple of event staffers who were quick to give food recommendations and had fun stories to share! Thank you to the Jewish Temple staff for such a wonderful fun event, for bringing people together in a positive and fun environment and of course for the smorgasbord of great food!

We actually parked outside of the venue in a private lot for $5 which was an excellent value. The lines of cars and associated traffic jams were almost at a complete standstill and we only walked 1 block to get in! The line for entry tickets was super long and moving slowly as well. Another person in line mentioned that the North Florida Fair has a website with online ticket sales! So we logged in on our smartphones, filled out the necessary credit card information and were able to purchase $8 general admission entry tickets in a snap! (a small $1 service charge was applied per ticket) A barcode was emailed to us which was scanned at the gate on our iPhones and we were in! We cut our entry wait time to zero! Sweet! Once inside we were immediately immersed into the lights, sounds and smells that define a fair. It was euphoric. We visited the pavilions first to see the many various categories of Fair contests all competing for that coveted 1st place blue ribbon! Livestock, arts, plants, prepared foods, quilts, etc., all in a friendly competition judged by I'm sure impeccable non-biased judges with excellent palates and senses, and having the knowledge of what it takes to choose a winner. It is so inspiring to see the local and surrounding communities coming together to be a part of such a wonderful fair tradition! As we meandered down the midway it seemed everyone had smiles on their faces, the twinkle of glittering lights in their eyes, handfuls of foods and puppy love teens clasping hands. I wasn't surprised to see long lines for the more popular rides which seemed to move at a snails pace. There was an option to pay $35 which included main gate entry and unlimited rides. The fair was supposed to be open until the wee hours of Sunday morning and as the night wore on the crowds thinned out and the ride lines shortened. I'm pretty sure that those with the unlimited ride passes were able to get their monies worth as early birds departed. I am a big fan of distractions. Life's distractions. The fair provides a way to let go of your daily grind temporarily to enjoy some fun family time or just do a little thrill seeking. The North Florida Fair delivers.

This was my first time at the North Florida Fair and it was a fun experience for the whole family…read more There was something for everyone to enjoy, from rides to games and a variety of food options. The selection of rides was impressive, and my kids had a blast, especially with the classics like the Ferris wheel and bumper cars. The fairgrounds were well-organized, and clean. The food was typical fair fare--corn dogs, turkey legs, funnel cakes, popcorn, and fried everything! While the prices were a bit high, it's part of the fair experience, and we enjoyed trying a little bit of everything. One highlight was the livestock exhibits, which offered a nice break from the excitement of the midway. My kids loved seeing the animals up close and learning a bit about them. Be sure to bring some cash for the games and food as some vendors charge a fee for using a credit card no matter the amount spent. Plan ahead and look at the tickets/rides specials online. Will definitely visit again next year.

Anyway, aside from parking, which was garage parking and had to be paid for, it was a pretty standard movie theater. You know, get tickets, purchase popcorn, the usual stuff. I will say though that they don't play every single movie currently out, but I think it's because this location is small. Nevertheless, it has its charm -- the screen is great and the employees are nice.

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

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.
