3. Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park
Located north of Tallahassee on the former estate of Alfred B. and Louise Maclay, this state park is a must-see for gardeners. An incredible display of azaleas, camellias, dogwoods, and magnolias are artfully arranged throughout the park. Each spring, they burst into a kaleidoscope of colors.
4. Florida Historic Capitol Museum
The Florida Historic Capitol Museum is easily identified by its trademark white- and red-striped awnings, providing welcome shade from the hot Florida sun. The museum is housed in the former state capitol building first built in 1845 (and expanded over the years). The history and architecture of the building is almost as interesting as the displays inside.
