1. Tallahassee Automobile Museum
Located in the far northeastern area of the city, the Tallahassee Automobile Museum is one of the city’s top tourist attractions. Home to more than 160 rare and historic cars, this local landmark has been drawing in visitors since 1996, when DeVoe Moore started with just 15 vehicles.
On display are some of the more unique vehicles ever made, including a special section on the vehicles used by Batman. In this area, you’ll find two Batmobiles: one was used in the blockbuster movie Batman Returns and the other in Batman Forever. The museum also has replicas of other modes of transport from the original television series. In addition to cars be sure to see the Bat-Boat and the Duck Vehicle used by the evil Penguin.
Those that aren’t obsessed with vehicles will also find other interesting things to see at the Tallahassee Automobile Museum. Other collections on display include boats, boat motors, Case knives, fishing lures, adding machines, and the list goes on. With this incredible assortment, some folks might say that DeVoe Moore may have a collecting habit second to none!
2. Florida State University
Florida State University or, as it’s known locally and statewide, FSU is almost its own city within Tallahassee. Home to over 32,000 students, the campus sprawls to the north of downtown and contains several notable buildings, including the enormous Doak Campbell Stadium. The city and campus pretty much come to a standstill when the Seminoles are playing, and the roar from the nearly 80,000 spectators can be deafening.
A visit to the campus should start at the Visitor Information Center, located in the stadium. It’s from here that guided tours of the grounds begin. Prebook your tour online a few days out from your intended visit, or if you’d rather do it on your own terms, grab a campus map and wander around.
