Dade City

How about visiting a 16- acre museum? Yep, you read that right! The Pioneer Florida Museum is home to the state’s history and a lawn replete with a gazebo for shade and to unwind alongside mossy oaks. Not enough nature and history for you? Then make sure to book your visit around the Pioneer Day festival, also hosted in Dade City!

Through theater, this festival brings the Civil War era back so you’ll get a taste thanks to great reenactments and costumes- and let’s not forget about the finger-licking good food!

The Art Deco and Art Nouveau buildings that pepper the downtown area are the price and joy of this community, so get ready to snap a load of pictures.

How about something a little bit out of the ordinary? The Giraffe Ranch, located outside the city, houses giraffes that roam freely!
