The best place to see in Tallahassee. Stop wasting your time. It a hidden gem for 5 dollars its worth every penny. I could spend hours in the garden. I would go back again just to shot the bow.

When we came to Tallahassee, we were anxious to get away from the typical international touristic routes and attractions of Florida. We wanted to get in touch with the true spirit of the original inhabitants, their political landmarks and their history. We knew we could find several interesting places in that beautiful city, but Mission San Luis de Apalachee exceeded... More

I recently visited Mission San Luis during one of their Saturday events. I found the grounds to be beautiful and the staff to be very helpful, friendly, and attentive. I spoke with Mimi about planning an event there and she was a great help. She was very informative about the history of the grounds as well as any policies in... More

We have visited Mission San Luis many times and often share it with our visitors. We had friends from Tampa visiting while their son toured FSU. One of our guests had difficulties walking the quite extensive site, and the staff offered a ride on their golf cards to make the tour more enjoyable. There were quite a few volunteers in... More

Thoughtful reconstruction, smart and informative costumed staff, not at all "hokey" like some. The mission gave us all a chance to learn things we didn't know, and have fun doing it.

As an avid history buff, I had taken the time to visit this park years ago. It was a pleasant surprise to see that a new interpretive center has been built since my last visit. It contains a small, but very informative museum, a movie theatre and a gift shop. During our tour of the museum, we were very lucky... More

In my opinion, this is one of the most significant historical places in the US. It pre-dates Jamestown, VA and Plymouth, MA. The state has done an amazing job of re-constructing significant buildings from different time periods. There are docents in period dress and frequent living history demonstrations. This place is a major hit with all ages and gets super... More

An oasis in the middle of town. Beautiful location, great restoration displays, good interpretive narratives and a peaceful setting.

The people were kind-spirited, the museum had an interesting film and a good exhibit, and the grounds are filled with people in period costumes doing their daily chores of the day (saw a great presentation by a very kind blacksmith). It's easy to imagine you're in the 17th century while walking around, and that makes for a great historical site.
