Tallahassee Science & Discovery Museums and Exhibits

Tallahassee has long been a discoverer’s paradise, since the time of the early Spanish explorers. From air and space to powerful magnets, to marine and science centers to fire ecology, and from unusual geological formations to collections of rare flora and fauna, the tradition of discovery exists to this day.

Today science and technology play an increasingly important role in the Tallahassee region. From nanotechnology to deep space, science is an engaging activity to feed your sense of curiosity. Here is your ticket to exploration, your pass to discovery, no pocket-protector necessary.

To get started, begin by exploring the list of Tallahassee science museums and discovery exhibits below.

Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto and his men spent the winter of 1539-40 at an Apalachee Indian Village near today’s downtown Tallahassee. This is the only confirmed site of De Soto in North America. A historic marker and kiosk display mark the site behind the current office complex but artifacts from the encampment are preserved at the Museum of Florida History.
