If you think Florida is all beaches and the House of Mouse (and other awesome amusement parks), you probably haven’t been to Tallahassee. Just miles from the Georgia border, the capital of the Sunshine State is a cool college town filled with fun things to do and explore with kids.

In fact, Tallahassee has two of the coolest museums for kids in all of Florida, which is pretty fitting for the state capital! It’s also a great vacation base, as it's a short skip from two of my favorite day trips in all of Florida: Wakulla Springs and the Florida Caverns. So next time you plan a vacation to Florida, think about a visit to “Tally,” a progressive little city in the Panhandle.

Read on for the best things to do in Tallahassee with kids, and be sure to check out our Guide to Visiting the Florida Panhandle and our Florida Family Travel Guide.
