Lofty Pursuits

(850) 521-0091
Lofty Pursuits opened in 1993 as a small skill toy store. Over the years, the product lines expanded, and every time Lofty Pursuits outgrew an old location and moved, something major was added. First, it was board games and general toys, then a full-service soda fountain and candy making, most recently it has been a full kitchen to do a daily brunch, and to make more candy. Lofty Pursuits has been the set for film, a location that preserves lost skills like Victorian Candy Making and a place where you can find a smile, when you need it, when you want it, and even when you are not looking for it. So come in, enjoy our collections of odd things that should be preserved, have brunch, watch us make candy and taste hard candies when they are warm. See us make candy canes, pull out a board game and sit back and play for a bit. Not everything in life should be rushed, but everything should make you happy. Lofty Pursuits, your happy place in Tallahassee.

❄️ Six months ago this week, Tallahassee traded sunshine for snow, and for one unforgettable day, Florida`s Capital turned into a winter wonderland. Under a clear, bright blue sky, locals and visitors bundled up, built snowmen, and soaked in the rare magic. It didn’t last long, but the memories did. So while we’re melting in this July heat, here’s a little throwback to the coolest day of the year. ☃️

🐾 We caught up with Chip the armadillo to talk stardom, Tallahassee, and what’s next in his viral rise.
One day, he was just splashin` around the @TallahasseeMuseum, and the next, he was a viral sensation with fans across the country. But Chip hasn’t let it go to his head (though he does think he deserves a star downtown). ⭐️
Chip opens up about some of his favorite Tallahassee adventures, life at the Museum, and why he hopes more fans will come see him and support the place he calls home.
