If you can do just one non-wedding outing during your stay in Tallahassee, it should be a visit to Wakulla Springs. Check out the historic lodge, eat at the Lodge Restaurant (or the snack/ice cream bar), and sign up for a boat ride to see a part of Florida that has been untouched for over 500 years. The ancient cypress swamps made for the perfect backdrop of movies like Tarzan’s Secret Treasure, Airport '77, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.

You will likely see manatees this time of year, since they leave the colder waters to take refuge near the spring, where the water is 72 degrees year-round. While you are there, leap off the tower and take a swim in the largest and deepest freshwater spring in the world! Plan for a 25-min drive from Tallahassee.
