Just because it's small and unassuming doesn't mean it's boring. The exhibits that pass through this gallery are varied in both size and quality, but are always constant in one thing: They're interesting. From student work to famous work, MoFA is always worth a visit. Check the website or the calendar of events for the exhibit openings, when you can get free food and usually free wine, as well as meet the artists.

Roughly 30 minutes away from Tallahassee is the small town of Quincy, where you'll find this theatre. If you like musicals, it's the place to go.

It seems so obvious, yet I think it's probably often overlooked or bypassed by students. Check out the calendar and support the School of Theatre!

A small venue hidden on the side of Thomasville Road, the Tallahassee Little Theatre produces anything but little plays. Although the size is true to the name, the set design is wonderful, the atmosphere is friendly and the acting is certainly above average. I would highly recommend seeing something at this theatre during your time in Tallahassee.

Although I've never been to the recreational area of the park, I have visited the gardens and they are spectacular. During the winter, they look a bit shabby and udergroomed, but they are large and filled with a variety of gorgeous plants, winding brick trails and relaxing stopping points with chairs and benches. This is a popular spot for photography, but is great for gathering with friends, doing homework or just relaxing.

Tucked away among the suburban housing along Thomasville Road is a small but meticulously landscaped city park complete with a boardwalk overlooking a lake, a water feature surrounded by benches and a gazebo. It's a great place to walk, draw, read or do homework!
