Cascades Park is a major draw
Downtown Tallahassee doesn’t waste access to the Florida sunshine, promising many opportunities to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Spanning seven blocks, the Park Avenue Historic Chain of Parks dates to the 1880s – each section adorned with century-old oak canopy that offers shady expanse. Located on what would eventually become the geographically agreed upon capital of Florida, Cascades Park is one of the city’s most popular attractions and represents the resurgence of a historic Florida landmark. The 24-acre park features 2.3 miles of winding trails, a variety of Florida environmental habitats, and the Adderley Amphitheater, home to musical, theatrical and community events and featuring more than 3,500 seats. The Korean War Memorial at the park is just three blocks from the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial near the Florida State Capitol. Smokey Hollow Park, across the Apalachee Parkway, is a historic African American site.

Downtown Tallahassee is a dynamic dining destination with a diverse restaurant scene offering everything from fine dining to expansive breweries. A classic white tablecloth restaurant, Savour is an upscale steakhouse with a bar lit by chandelier. Known as an anniversary hotspot, Cajun-inspired Savour is known as much for its classic desserts as its filet mignon. Another upscale offering, as the downtown area is not known for dive bars, Bar 1903 is a thoughtful cocktail bar carved out inside the historic Walker Library. Guests appreciate the turn-of-the-century setting almost as much as the mocktails and cheese boards served at happy hour.
