    This summer I visited tally with my 3.5 year old and our close friend brought us to this museum! Things I wish I knew beforehand: wear tennis shoes (it's mostly outside with lots of walking), bring the stroller for my lazy toddler, don't pack food because their cafe is awesome with a variety of meals and snacks. The animal tour we took was where my kiddo struggled the most...he's not ready for long walks or zoos. The playground at the end made the whole trip worth every minute!

    Animals galore! The animals were out and easy to find today. You do have to look close up in the trees and in hiding areas . This Tallahassee museum has many places to walk over wooden decks to see animals from great vantage points and from the ground. Today, we were lucky enough to see Grey tree foxes, enormous black bears ( they must be eating well and not getting much exercise),Florida panther, bobcats, and even Grey wolves . They have a ton of activities and we even went back in history with Ms Juith to talk about the nostalgic farm houses from the 1880s that are on property.If you are lucky enough to visit on Saturday she might even make her famous ginger snap cookies.

    So much fun! It was a great way to spend an afternoon. So many animals to see. We're even found a kitty walking around asking for pets. We can't wait to try the zipline next time.

    Only had an hour to visit so we went around the boardwalk and saw the animals. We enjoyed the time we had here so much that we plan to come back. It seemed a little older but we found it unique and a good price.

    "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" - Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz Well, they had a Florida panther and a black bear so that is two thirds true. I did not do the zip lining though that did look like fun. Instead, I took nearly two hours to tour the outside catwalk area that goes around several outdoor animal habitats. It was interesting to see the deer, foxes, and snakes from above and even the bear. I felt safe from anything trying to get up there. The snake habitat was also pretty cool and a few of them were actively moving around in their tanks. Creepy but fun! There are other outdoor things to look at and experience though the interactive activities remain closed off because of COVID. [Review 14085 overall, 1407 of 2020, number 1147 in Florida.]

    What a nice little animal park this place is. Now there are some historical buildings on the grounds. So I guess it is a museum by definition. But with pandemic protocols in place, most were closed. I enjoyed exploring the trails through the old buildings and taking a peek inside. Strolling through the animal park section, you'll see a few cool animals like wolves, bobcats, deer, and cougars...to name a few. There's also some dinosaur sculptures made from car parts. Throughout the park there's are a few zip line courses. To zip, there's an additional fee that you need to pay at the admissions window. The dirt parking lot has a lot of spots but it was packed when I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. While parking, I saw a white squirrel running around...I've never seen one of them before.

    Such an impressive operation. Way more than meets the eye. It's part zoo, part history museum, part adventure park. Most of the expansive, well maintained grounds are shaded by live oaks, so it's not uncomfortably hot even on a 98 degree Saturday afternoon. There are several air-conditioned buildings to pop into, just in case, including a snack bar with cold beer available. The front office staff and those overseeing the ropes courses are all super friendly and helpful. Definitely looking forward to another visit!

    My daughter and I love going to the Tallahassee Museum. This is a great location to explore, have fun, learn and enjoy nature. They have many things to do. We love to look at the farm animals then take a trip to the playground. After burning off some energy, we move on to the other animals like turkeys, deer, fox, bobcats, wolves, otters and more. They also have some historical things to look at as well, like an old train car, one room school house, church and plantation home. You can spend loads of time here and it's a great way to spend the day. The also sell food and drinks (very affordable) so great spot for lunch as well!

    I have adored this place since childhood. Today, I'm not quite as enamored. This place is still a gem, but it's not the oasis of fascinating experiences and information it was decades ago. Today, it is tired and worn, overgrown and unkempt. That aside, it's still a good place to spend a day outside and see a variety of plants and animals. A warning, this is not a wheelchair accessible experience. You can trudge through the grounds with a really sturdy wheelchair, but be prepared to push it through sand again and again. Sadly, I can't give our visit more than 3 stars. If you've never visited don't let the rating deter you, it's a sweet spot, just not as sweet as it has been.

    We had a great time, lots of great things to see. Love to learn the history of Florida. It was another great Tucker adventure.

    Crossing through the canopy
    Andrea M.

    This is a great place to go with friends, family, and even young kids. I had some friends visiting from south Florida so I wanted them to do something fun and outdoors. We tried the tree to tree adventures at the museum. We did the intermediate level adventure which was about $28 a person. First you are guided to an area where you sign a waiver, get your equipment, and learn how to complete the adventure. Ours was called canopy crossing and included a mixture of obstacles in the canopy of the tree and ziplining. Our instructor showed us all the skills necessary on the ground and then we practiced until we were good enough to be signed off to begin the obstacle. Some of the obstacles were scary and I wouldn't recommend if you are scared of heights. The zip lines were a ton of fun but shorter than expected. This adventure took about an hour to complete. Would highly recommend.

    Unfortunately we were there in the afternoon and the animals were hiding because it was so hot out. I would recommend going when they open.
