Beat the heat in Tallahassee, without breaking the bank. With schools out for the summer, this is the perfect time for exploring all there is to see and do in Florida's capital city. There are dozens of activities available for little-to-no money, and affordable food and accommodations are readily available as well. Just some of the frugal, family-friendly options here include: Museum of Florida History - This large museum in downtown Tallahassee features over 40,000 artifacts and permanent exhibits that span from prehistoric times to today's space age. Admission is free. Donations are accepted. Challenger Learning Center IMAX Theater & Planetarium - With a larger-than-life screen showcasing newly released films and IMAX favorites, as well as a planetarium that lets families view the cosmos, this is an ideal indoor escape. Show tickets vary. Space Mission Simulator open the second Saturday of each month. Wakulla Springs State Park - Just $6 per vehicle (2-8 people) is all it takes to enjoy access to Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, home to the largest freshwater spring in the world. The cool, clear waters invite visitors to jump off the dive platform or simply splash around on even the hottest days. Afterward, river tours are available on both traditional and glass-bottom boats for an additional fee, and a restaurant, snack shop and soda fountain wait to tempt your taste buds. |
