Tallahassee is famous for it’s football. If you can stay during the weekend in the fall, come watch one of college football’s dynasty teams, FSU. Osceola and Renegade open each game with a flaming spear to the middle of the field- one of college football’s best traditions.

Want to see some gators? Go rent a kayak or canoe for half a day, swim in a sink hole, and see gators swim right next to you- all in clear water. Finish up with a swim in a sinkhole that flows into the river. A great way to experience nature in North Florida. I’ve seen over 20 gators in one day.
