Endless possibilities await you in Tallahassee!
Talk with your county 4-H professional to decide the best option for you and your delegation. You may be close enough to simply drive there and back home in the same day.
For our delegations that are further away, there are options to ride a bus or stay in Tallahassee the night before.
All attending youth members will need to have an adult in charge and all participants need to be connected with their county delegation.
This event is unique as the majority of the schedule is up to you and your county delegation, which includes all members from your county that are attending this event. All participants are only expected to participate in Opening Assembly, Lunch, and Lunch Assembly.

Go to the Meeting with Your Legislators page on this site to find out more on the importance of scheduling these meetings, how you can contact your legislators, and how you can prepare for your meetings with them.
To be respectful of the time that our legislators have to give, participants should only be meeting with legislators as part of their county delegation. Make sure to only have one point of contact scheduling meetings from your county delegation to keep clear and consistent communication.
Please also make sure that you note that you are specifically scheduling for "______ County 4-H". This helps legislative aides keep track of all our delegations who want to meet with legislators and elected officials.
In between your legislator meetings and other activities, a great opportunity to see your legislators in action is during committee meetings. This is where they discuss items regarding specific topics and work through them before they reach the floor. You can find all information on all committees at the following links, Senate Committees (flsenate.gov) | House Committees (myfloridahouse.gov).
While you are able to attend any of these, below the committees that particularly work on items related to 4-H. Click on the links and scroll down to see meeting links with information for 3/25/2025.
SENATE Click on links and scroll down to see meeting links with information for 3/25/2025

The Florida Historic Capitol Museum is right next to the Capitol Courtyard and a great option for your county delegation to explore.
To help manage the number of participants in the museum at one time, we will have signup sheet for 30 participants to enter the museum every 30min. If the museum is at capacity, you and your delegation will need to signup to come back at a different time.
Beyond the Capitol, there are other great attractions that you can consider while in Tallahassee for Florida 4-H Day at the Capitol.
These include:
Museum of Florida History (two blocks away; may be closed for reservations, be sure to call)
Florida Governor's Mansion (5min drive)
