1. Bradfordville Blues Club
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
The Bradfordville Blues Club experience is like no other. It combines a truly unique location and atmosphere with the best the Blues has to offer. Hidden in a rural part of Tallahassee, the experience begins when you travel down the winding dirt roads and up the hill that lead to the Club. Surrounded by fields of tall stalks of corn and old majestic oak trees dripping with moss, the one room cinder block “juke joint” has hosted an impressive list of nationally renowned Blues acts. The more than 50 original portraits autographed by the “Kings and Queens” of the Blues, which serve as table tops and wall hangings, attest to the quality of our entertainment. The Club is open on Friday and Saturday nights and offers a good selection of ice-cold bottled beers and wine. Just follow the tiki torches down the dirt roads till you reach the juke joint under the stars. We’ll keep the bonfire burning, the beer ice-cold and the music hot!

This was like living a dream night from the 30’s: fantastic energy, great positive vibe and amazing music in a juke joint setting with the small tables in front of the stage. The memorabilia is worth the admission alone. Saw Albert Castiglia there and had an awesome time. Truly could have used an additional wait staff, had to wait a long time for drinks, so we just started going to the bar ourselves and that was fine. Def coming back as much as we can.

3. JR Alford Greenway

Reviewed By August17 - Tallahassee, United States
Alford Greenway is 700+ acres. A lot of land. Open land, forest trails and forested areas you can tramp around in. Keep your dogs on leashes, there are bobcats and coyotes in the back half of the park. Lots of deer if you get out right after daybreak. There are bicyclists and runners. Watch out for fast moving bicyclists and vice versa. And slow hikers, day hikers. No camping is allowed. Summer time after 11:00 a.m. is a poor time to go out in the back parts of the park because of bugs, yellow flies, horse flies etc. Trust me, they will eat you alive. Winter, Spring and Fall however are excellent times to visit Alford Greenway. If you walk right down the middle to the back of the park and back to the front, that is about a 2 hour walk depending on how fast you walk. There are gorgeous old oaks in various places, especially the part of the trail along Alford Arm water body. Suggest you carry a bottle of water with you if you plan to go to the back part of the park. There aren't many places to sit on a bench in the park. Last I looked, there were 3 benches, so not much. But its' not hard to find a patch of grass to lay down on and look at the clouds. You can visit this park a half dozen times and never have to walk the same set of trails. Its' extensive. Please remember to pick up your trash and someone else's if you can.

This is one of Tallahassee's best kept secrets. Actually, it feels like the Secret Garden. This park + garden is full of charm and beauty. It's a wonderful spot for a peaceful picnic to escape the busy city. Spring or early summer are my favorite time to stop in.

Great place to learn and understand Apalachee Native American history. The archaeology is well conceived and presented to lay people as well as more deeply available to trained or avid students of archaeology. The living history events are especially interesting. Place for everyone.

Great NWR. The visitor center is well constructed and attractive, the bathrooms are modern and clean, the items for sale were relevant and plentiful, and the volunteer staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The road to the lighthouse is well kept, as is the lighthouse.
9. Tallahassee Antique Car Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 556 reviews
The mirrored walls of the Tallahassee Automobile Museum enclose more than just automobiles! This 100,000 sf. facility houses cars, trucks and memorabilia of all kinds. In addition to the antique cars, muscle cars, concept cars, and trucks -- check out the eclectic collection of Steinway pianos, Remington sculptures, Case knives, Barbie dolls, boats, boat motors, children's pedal cars, and die-cast toys. Journey through history with Native American artifacts, firearms, antique cash registers, pocket watches, salt-cellars, baby bottles, silver spoons, baseball cards, antique golf balls and clubs, 100-year-old brass-bladed fans, art objects from Thailand, neon signs, stained glass, a horse from a carousel, a children's barber chair shaped like an airplane and much, much more. Part shrine, part history lesson, part pack-rat's paradise, part garage and part art gallery -- except, in this case, the art has four spotless wheels and can go from 0 to 60 faster than a Cezanne can. It's truly an amazing museum of American history.

As the person who researched the Tallahassee KKK Lucky 13 from an auction lot at Affiliated Auctions in 2009, DeVoe Moore won the lot of original KKK documents from 1949 - 1955, with names, secret numbers, minutes of the meetings, and more. I am so pleased he did. Every so often I post the information on Facebook. The most revealing item is the elected Sheriff Raymond R. Hamlin, Jr. as well as his father, were members of the Klan for at least one year. This was before he was initially elected Sheriff of Leon County in 1968. 1968 was a tumultuous year and the years surrounding 1968. The Automobile Museum is excellent. Many early automobiles, two of the original Batmobiles, classic cars from 1950's, onward and so many other things he has collected. Two days is recommended.

Beautiful camellias and majestic oaks abound in this old, established park! A lovely brick path meanders next to a stunning lake and leads to the old homestead that is open January till April. The reflecting pond is beautiful and is surrounded by grand, enormous camellia bushes. The gated garden with the fountain and sculptures is very picturesque reminiscent of a European garden. In addition, there are many hiking trails in the park. Very peaceful escape from hustle and bustle.
