When I first made the decision to stay in Tallahassee and take classes during the summer, I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to have the fun summer I had been planning in my head. However, I soon realized that Tallahassee has some great perks to enjoy even during the summer months! Here are the top 5 best things to do in Tallahassee during the summer:

1. Day Trip to Wakulla Springs
There’s nothing like taking a day trip with your friends to relax in Wakulla Springs, a picturesque freshwater spring that is very popular among FSU students. Time can be spent swimming and snorkeling in the water, or for those that don’t like to get wet, taking a peaceful riverboat tour!
2. Cookouts
Cookouts are a great way to get a big group of people together and enjoy the summer sun. Tallahassee provides a nice southern location for bringing out the grill and s’mores for a relaxing day.
3. Boutique Shopping
Tallahassee is home to numerous amazing boutiques such as Cole Couture, Henri Girl, and Bella Blu. Spend a day immersed in fashion!
4. Relaxing on Landis Green
Landis Green is a top spot for hanging out with a group of friends on the grass, sunbathing, or reading with a Starbucks drink in hand!
5. Getting Fit in the Stadium
The stadium is home to FSU’s national championship football team, but is also a great location for keeping healthy and fit this summer!
