Travel to Tallahassee

The Magnet Lab is headquartered in Tallahassee, the state capital of Florida, located in the north of the state midway between Jacksonville and Pensacola on Interstate 10. Jacksonville is about 160 miles (250 km) to the east; Pensacola is 190 miles (300 km) to the west. Tallahassee is serviced by a regional airport located a few miles from the Magnet Lab.

In addition to Florida State University, Tallahassee is home to Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College. These and other smaller schools help make Tallahassee a very young city for Florida, with a median age of about 26. Tallahassee features several museums and other cultural attractions, and is surrounded by many natural treasures including the 564,961-acre Apalachicola National Forest, Wakulla Springs State Park, St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and numerous lakes and rivers. The climate is mild: the average low is 56º F (13º C), while the average high is 79º F (26º C ).

The following hotels give Magnet Lab visitors special rates. To be quoted the reduced rates, identify yourself as a Magnet Lab visitor when making arrangements. The motels on West Tennessee Street are the closest to the lab. The North Monroe facilities are clustered around an I-10 interchange that is fairly convenient to the lab. Locations of many of these facilities are marked on our Tallahassee map. All of these hotels are located fairly close to a variety of restaurants. If you have any problems with any of these facilities, please let us know.
