Scrapbook Market is located in town along Thomasville road. It's in a strip mall and just a few doors down from Joann's.
This store is fantastic. You get a million cool ideas just walking around. The store is organized in a fun fashion, with many themed "centers" -- each with its own brand, holiday, or other theme. There are also a bunch of non-themed items which are arranged by type such as doo-dads, cornerers and albums.
The whole back wall is filled with sale items--great when you want to save some $$ and don't have a specific project in mind.
The staff was nice--friendly and helpful without being annoying.
There are also work tables that you can use along with tons of tools, like paper punches and cutters, as long as you spend at least $10 during your visit.

This is a wonderful, educational place to spend a day with your kids. It has many hands on science activities for them to participate in. It has a large play area for kids to explore different science concepts. The planetarium is fantastic. You sit in a dome-like tent and learn about the constellations as they show them up above. This is a very neat and educational place for kids.

Maclay gardens is a beautiful place to spend a day with people you love. The gardens themselves are beautiful with well planned grounds that show color year round and highlight what one can do in their own backyard. Aside from the gardens, Maclay is also home to some great recreational opprotunities for the family. The gardens is located on Lake Hall, a small lake that is known for its large mouth bass. They have a designated swimming area (a small beach and a lot of shaded areas for picnics) and a boat ramp for non-motorized boats (i.e. canoes, kayaks). They permit fishing, but you have to adhere to state park regulations. They have a couple of trails for horseback riding, bike riding, and hiking. On weekends during peak season they have rental trail horses available for guided tours. With all of these activities in one beautiful park, and admission at only $4 per car or van load, it's easy to see why Maclay gardens is one of Tallahassee's treasures.
You can read about Maclay on their website: http://www.floridastateparks.org/maclaygardens/default.cfm

It's like being a kid again. There's an outdoor zoo where you can see all the animals that are native to Florida. They have bears, alligators, panthers...it's incredible. You walk over the alligator, bear and panther habitats. You can see the white tailed deer, otters and of course the snakes. There's also an area of the museum that has old cottages and houses that show you how things were in the "olden days"

This is a dollar theater. The most you will ever pay for a movie ticket is $1.50. They also have 50 cents Tuesday all day. The movie that they play may not be the most current usually a month or two old, but that also mean their movies are not from the 60’s. If you can wait a month to watch a movie, which sometimes you forget to go anyway, you can play $1.50 rather then paying $10 to $20. I know this may not be the most high-end theater, but if you are going to rent a movie why not just go to a theater. The ticket actually cost less than renting a movie! They have regular theater seat with cup holder not stadium seat. The place is fairly clean. The concession stand prices are slightly less than a high-end theater. They also have a small arcade. One word of warning, they are very strict with the R-rated movie age requirement. Everyone in a group watching a R-rated movie must be present at the time when you buy the ticket or no ticket. I see a lot of people whine about this, and you know what I would say. Get over it people you are paying less than 2 bucks to see a movie. The theater doesn’t want to lose its license to show movies.

Movies 8 is a discount, second-run theatre. They'll never have the new movies, but they will get them before they enter the rental market. What this means to you is a big savings for those movies that you're not sure you want to see, but would like to see on a theatre screen. They recently changed management/owners, which usually means little.....but in this case it actually means that they've finally changed the seats (which were starting to smell like a kitty litter box). They've also made changes to management and hired a more energetic and friendly staff. But really....at no more than $2 (weekends) and as low as $.50 all day Tuesdays....who is really complaining about anything?

Perhaps the oldest, still-in-operation movie house in town & what a treat it is. I came from Sarasota where I was spoiled by Burns Court Cinemas - all foreign & independent films. And for me, with my disposition, film is essential. I average about five films per week. Miracle 5 helps me to meet that quota, on a big screen, with films that I feel good about seeing, topics that make me think & storylines & composition that stimulate my imagination. I am fully aware that most people go to the movies to be entertained. Although Miracle Five's offerings are capable of entertainment, I esteem their films & the theatre much more highly. I recommend the theatre for those wanting to see a film that they'll remember, ponder & contemplate, a feature that will stimulate discussion & thought. I consider it a treat to have such an offering in our very own town.

When I first started dating my fiance, we went on a date to Waddle Pots at the Tallahassee Mall (2nd floor above the AMC theater). It is so much fun! I am not an artist at all, but it feels good to let the creative juices flow. Check it out next time you want to do something a little different.
