The Harn Museum of art houses huge a collection of African and Asian arts.

This conservancy is home to an interesting collection of exotic animals as well as rehabilitated local wildlife.

Apart from caring for the animals, the main focus of the foundation is wildlife conservation through adequate education. Therefore, you’ll be offered an educational tour through the conservancy. Admission fees for private and semi-private tours for groups and schools goes directly to caring for the animals.

Devil's Millhopper Geological Park

The geological park is perhaps the most unusual geological and historical site situated in a mega sinkhole out of the city. Surrounded by steep walls and sandy terrain, the sinkhole descends about 120 ft. below the surface protecting a miniature rain-forest. The sinkhole has been an allure for the curious for hundreds of years now. In fact, researchers have found an avalanche of valuable fossils, fossilized skeletons, and marine shells in the sinkhole. You can opt to go for a short half-mile hike around its perimeter and begin to descend to the bottom. The tourists’ center offers valuable information about the depression, and a ranger-guided tour is available on Saturdays.
