I brought Fido with me and she was able to enjoy time with her peeps walking the grounds. If you enjoy gardening, especially Florida fauna you will love this place. Would like to go back in the early Spring when the antique tea roses are really putting on a show! I bet the aroma is amazing!! Fun historical home to visit.

This plantation was beautiful. We had a private tour by docent Bill Walters who was so knowledgeable and fun. The antiques are abundant and gorgeous. We loved this location.

Very nicely preserved old house. Staff is very attentive and during the tour the explanations were superb. You can walk the whole house. Uncommon in this type.of museums

A very Tallahassee historic venue. The new air conditioned barn dinning area worked very well. Food was great. The grounds are well kept. Its like being in the country, but only minutes from the Capitol. Handles parties up to two hundred persons.

We went to a play there in the afternoon. The old old live oak trees are beautiful.The gardens are great. There are small interesting buildings and the big house. Its an old plantation house but of course the slave quarters were not near the house.

One of the most charming venues in Tallahassee, Goodwood Museum and Gardens hosts beautiful landscape and unique architecture throughout the property. The staff are so sweet and helpful which is always appreciated when working at a wedding venue. We love when we get the opportunity to work at Goodwood as we always know we will have stunning photos of our couples on this gorgeous property.

Beautiful place! Quiet and peaceful!

My son just had the most spectacular wedding at this venue! There are not enough words to describe the beauty of the place. Old oaks with Spanish moss and wildflowers galore. The buildings are beautiful shabby chic. I highly recommend them for any event.

You will find the grounds are very nice grounds, with interesting local history and occasional special events and activities. I only got to see a small portion but I plan to go back for a tour and to see some of the historical collections.

The annual fee Great place for grad photos!!! Or any photos!! Beautiful clean grounds with lots of NorthFL foliage!!!! If youre using a professional photographer, make sure they pay the annual fee to shoot there!

Beautiful area. Nice place to relax.

Beautiful property. Lots to look at, lots of fun at the Halloween/Fall Festival event.

Wonderful place to have a wedding

Beautiful facility my Stepson and wife were married there.

Love the carriage house space for gatherings. I wish there was a paved walkway from the parking area but other than that, its perfect.

Incredible staff, grounds, food and fun events! Such a beautiful place and so well preserved.

Visited for my cousins wedding and it was absolutely gorgeous. The Spanish moss on the trees was a gorgeous background for the couple and the reception hall is the perfect shabby chic.

Absolutely stunning. I adore this place and wish I had had more time here while I was in town. Very well maintained manor home with good old southern charm and beauty. If you are looking for a nice afternoon activity with family I recommend this lovely place.

Great venue! It was a beautiful backdrop our company event.

It has an interesting history but cell service for Pokemon Go is a little challenging. Wonderful place to wander and roam. You cant tell on the outside how big it is behind the fences. Love the garden on the old tennis court and the old water tower.

We went to a Bridal Show sponsored by Vocelles and had a great time!

Beautiful place to visit! Enjoyed the Rose Sale and half price membership

Lovely place.. lots of weddings & special events. Very relaxing & enjoyable.

Went to the Rose Festival, basically they opened the gates for rose plant sales. The gardens were so overrun with debris, you couldnt see the plants for sale! Definitely a pass for future activities!!! That was terrible people!!!

Goodwood is a great location to host small, medium, and even large events, and the centralized location is super-convenient. Joe Manausa Real Estate hosted our annual Spring Family Carnival at Goodwood and had nearly 500 people in attendance. The facilities were just what we needed, and all had a good time. The weather was perfect, and we were able to set up many of the attractions underneath the shade of the several-hundred-year-old southern live oaks in the yard. These trees are a Tallahassee treasure, and we certainly appreciated their shade during our event. The yard at Goodwood was large enough that we could spread out and let the children play and have a good time while the adults could have discussions without having to compete with a lot of background noise. The historic buildings scattered around Goodwood are a whole other conversation, as they give the facilities the appearance of old Tallahassee. We used them mostly to provide power for our bounce houses as well as a location for our face-painting station for the kids. One note was that there were power issues, so it was fortunate we brought back-up generators to run the outdoor kitchen and bounce houses. Overall, a 5-star event hosted at a 5-star facility, and I highly recommend Goodwood for anybody looking for the ideal Tallahassee event location.

Riders in the Sky put on an amazing 90+ min performance...so entertaining and talented. What a pleasure to catch them!

Great venue for special occasions. Very spacious. Interesting history and museum. Well kept grounds.

Was there for the tomato Festival. T had A wonderful. time. wish the RAIN had not made getting Around So and for handica people: I Was not Able to Stay AS Long As I wanted FOR that Reason. maybe next Year my health will not be AS bad.

I just got married here and the setting is second to none in the Tallahassee and surrounding area.

A true local treasure.

Went to fsu opening nights here. Beautiful venue and wonderful staff will be returning here for a tour soon.

We loved having our daughters wedding at Goodwood. It had a lovely setting for an outdoor wedding, outdoor cocktail hour, indoor reception and cottages for bridal party. Everything went very smoothly and staff were very easy to work with. The grounds were beautiful, parking ample. We would highly recommend it and found the price to rent very reasonable.

So enjoyed our visit. We were the only members of the in house tour so we had the docent all to ourselves. It was great. Loved every minute.

Beautiful ground and extremely but their staffs has a slow service

Quaint and cute place to visit for a walk with a friend or on a date. The grounds are open to the public and Goodwood is really doing a lot right now to get the community involved and to diversify its audience. For example, they are currently hosting Mindful Mondays during lunchtime on Mondays (yoga or meditation depending on the date). They also boast a community garden. If you dont suffer from allergies (like I do) it is best to visit in spring when everything is in bloom (and before the summer heat and mosquitoes). Spring in North Florida comes early so think late February and early March, but be prepared for our bipolar Tallahassee weather to throw you a cool day or two.

Historical grounds and buildings. The docents are delightful, caring and knowledgeable. Worth the entrance fee.

One of my best friends got married here over the weekend and it was incredible. The grounds are beautiful and the bridal suite was large enough to accommodate all the bridesmaids. I would love to come back and visit the cafe on site and learn more about the history!

My Mom and I were given a wonderful private tour (not booked privately, but no one else was there at the same time we were) of this beautiful home. I was especially intrigued by the realization that all of the items in the house are original to the home. So often I find on historical house tours that the items are from the representative period, but are not original to the home. It would be a great tour for older children to show them what life was like in earlier times. The price for the tour was reasonable, and we had two lovely and knowledgeable guides who answered any question we could think of! No photos are allowed inside the home, but you can take photos outside the home and on the grounds. It is free of charge to wander the grounds if you arent able to take the house tour, and there are informative signs throughout the lovely park-like grounds. There is a cafe that is open for lunch on the grounds as well.

Enjoyed attending a wedding at the Carriage House. The facilities were very nice and I am glad to see that Goodwood has added some outdoor lighting so that the parking lot is not so treacherous. However, right during the ceremony, a car came driving through on one of the interior roads. Maybe the staff could put out Wedding in progress. Do not enter

Authentic plantation estate in the city. Home is beautifully restored.

Tours guides were very friendly and knowledgeable on the families that have lived there over the centuries

Really nice house with the smaller houses and garden around. Most part of the tour is free of charges.

Very interesting and has a great cafe.

Beautiful place! Great for parties, weddings, and receptions, too. Its a great spot for local history.

The grilled shrimp were the best Ive ever had! Service was good.

Really great tour. Beautiful place

Awesome place and they were such accommodating hosts for our event. Thank you so much.

Had a great time. Nancy was our guide, did a wonderful job. Very nice. Definitely visit

Went during a plant sale that advertised vegetables and other edible plants and the selection tion was bare minimum. Mostly ornamentals.

Was very comfortable and a good location. Also near the red line tram and lots of nearby food choices. Staff was very helpful.

Great space for events, beautiful area in town.

I went there for a mini-workshop. Therefore, I didnt get a chance to have a proper tour of the property. As a genealogist, this would have been an adventure. From what I was able to see, the museum was quaint.

Very nice plantation and a good tour of the grounds.

The old plantation home and grounds is a step- back-in time venue, but I admire its forthright and conscientious acknowledgement today of past lives that included men, women and children who weren’t free people in Antebellum South. The history of Goodwood becomes a sobering lesson, and the facilities are used by minority groups for events confronting that history with purpose.

The Goodwood Museum & Gardens offers a relaxing environment to go for a stroll or sit beneath the shade of a tree with a good book. The manor house comes to life with such knowledgeable staff running it. I even happened to stop by on a day when local painters were encouraged to reflect on their canvas the natural beauty all around them. Simply a treasure of a place in the heart of Tallahassee!

Annual Fall Plant Sale was great.

Charming tour guide Sue was very knowledgeable and made our visit pleasant. The history of this property is interesting and Im so glad that this place has been preserved so well. Easy to get to right near the hospital, easy parking, and you can walk the grounds free of charge. Fee for the main house tour was a bit expensive, but Im happy to support the nice people preserving our nations physical history.

Great place to visit and the staff were absolutely the best. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

A must see to all that visit Tallahassee. A real antrbellum plantation home with acres of gardens to stroll. The tour of the house is not free, but the gardens are. The house and cottages are fully furnished with the actaul pieces, china, paintings, and clothes, etc.

The tour is not very child friendly especially for young children. There are a lot of breakable items in the home and I was very afraid of them touching something especially after one of the employees told them to keep their hands behind their back the whole time. The upstairs was also extremely hot the day we went. The house has a very interesting history and I personally enjoyed the house tour and we have ourselves a tour of the grounds. I would recommend this tour for adults and older children I would say 10 and up.

A nice preserved settlement home. Very knowledgeable your guide.

Great experience. Informative guide. Loved the tour.

I extensively travel to historic homes throughout the USA and Europe, and Goodwood is definitely one of the most interesting! I found the owners histories very engaging and the guides anecdotes very amusing. I was pleasantly shocked at the surviving collection of vintage clothes ranging from the early 19th century to the mid 20th century. The interiors are like stepping back into the early 20th century. I feel like if Edith Wharton, and Alva Vanderbilt had visited, they would have been very comfortable as houseguests. This house was the height of pre-WWI luxury. Be prepared to spend 90-minutes for the house tour, but it will soon pass because it is very enjoyable.

Wonderful walk thru time...

Such a fun part of history. We had a great day touring the museum.

Tallahassees premiere attractionOutstanding southern mansion & outbuildings. Interesting exhibits. Beautiful property. Must see.

Was very pretty

Beautiful place, a tour is a must, Im working on the restoration, preservation of the property.

Absolutely gorgeous venue for a wedding and reception! My niece was married there last weekend and we all had a wonderful time!

Love the look of the place, nice garden. Was attending a meeting there and the place was nice cold temp. The museum has a very barn look which was very inviting. Has restrooms and a bar outside. This place is great for any occasion.

Ate lunch here... super good food and service!!

Goodwood Gardens has beautiful trees and landscaping; very peaceful place to walk with a convenient central location off Miccosukee Road. We have gone to concerts there as well which was very fun. The staff are friendly and the facilities- bathrooms and water fountains are clean. I really enjoy walking the grounds as the footing is good and scenery is beautiful especially with the cool little swimming pool and gardens. So glad to have discovered this little gem.

Bill our doesant was so patient, knowledgeable, and thorough with his tour of the home! We really couldn’t have asked for a better day with him. The grounds were beautiful and educational. We felt as if we stepped back in time for a few hours

Love this place, as a wedding photographer you want a place with variety and good lighting. There is plenty of space here for a wide range of photos. Plus their customer service is amazing and the food at Fannys is delicious. The museum is filled with an exhausted amount of details/information. I am from Montreal, Canada and I look forward to visit again and to do more weddings at this venue.

Great place to spend an afternoon with the family. Lots of history, and beautiful flowers in the spring. A must for any Tallahassean.

Excellent tour of home, interesting docents, lovely old plantation home

It a good history place.

Carriage House was amazing space.

This place is beautiful and chic full of history! Not a bad place to stock up on pokemon go items also! Great place to book an outdoor wedding or event.

We got married here 8.5 years ago and came back for a visit a few weeks ago. Just as beautiful as always.

Beautiful facility and lovely stuff

Neat little place with knowledgeable volunteers to answer questions and tell you about the history of the place

Love the old plantation feel! It is a beautiful place with great Tallahassee history. I know you can also do events here. That would make an incredible spot!

Knowledgeable tour guideLots of interesting antiques

Lovely example of plantation life through families furniture, entrances, added porches & grounds. Tours hourly. Check website.

Ive been to a few events here. The location is gorgeous and the staff is helpful and courteous.

Nice place to chill and enjoy nature

We read about this house in a guide book, which is on a tourist drive through old cotton country, which the curator was interested in as he didnt know it was in there. The staff are really helpful and on the guided tour he described many items within the household and grounds. If you are in the Tallahassee area, take a half day out and take a look around the house, out buildings and gardens. Immerse yourself in the middle of the 19th Century. you will not be disappointed!

Stunning venue packed with history

Beautiful oasis in Tallahassee.Close to medical facilities, but feels far away from these health care surroundings.

Its a beautiful place and Joanna was very knowledgeable. Getting the Rev Cafe up and running will be spectacular, Im sure!

Very nice venue for large parties.

Awesome place of you like Florida history

Good place if your hosting a large formal party, also interesting history here

Very nice place to visit good people and very knowledgeable.

Informative and well organized

The grounds and house of Goodwood Plantation are a Tallahassee treasure. A must see stop when planning a visit to our city.

Its so charming! The facilities are comfortable yet elegant.

Knowledgeable people, history of a wide variety of people. They were doing public Archaeology the day I went.

Good job explaining stuff.
