Tallahassee scored a 20.5 on someone’s β€œboring scale”? Clearly, they've never been here, so we’ll let the views speak for themselves. 

Here in Florida’s Capital City, we’re a college town that’s home to more than just history and world-class arts and culture. πŸŽ“πŸ›οΈ

We’ve got 700+ miles of trails πŸ₯Ύ, award-winning craft breweries 🍻, nationally recognized parks 🏞️, and a dining scene that's second to none. 🍽️πŸ”₯

With dazzling entertainment 🎢, vibrant family-friendly festivals πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦, attractions that spark curiosity πŸ¦₯, and so much more, we are anything but boring.

And we’re just getting started. In 2026, we’ll host the World Athletics Cross Country Championship welcoming elite athletes from over 60 nations to our legendary Apalachee Regional Park. πŸ…πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŽ
