Outdoor Activities
This our favorite beach, it's small but we like them that way. 😉
Hunter Springs Park
This playground ia one of the coolest we've ever been to. They also used to have a great flea market and it's right near the Cade Museum!
Depot Park
Restaurants
This is the BEST bakery in Gainesville, no doubt about it.
uppercrust
This is the best french food, probably in all of Florida. 😉 The restaurant is adorable and we love celebrating anniversaries and birthdays here!
Alpin Bistro
Love this place. It's a small local chain but they really make fabulous food and coffee!
Cattle Dog Coffee Roasters
This place has only gluten free items... And you'd never know they're gluten free! So good! Plus they have a little lending library inside, which my kids LOVE!
Soleil Bakery & Social House
Don't let the gas station locale fool you. As tiny and weird as it's location may be, they make the BEST food. They are the nicest people. You just can't beat them.
Haeorum Foods Korean BBQ
We have never had a bad meal here, takeout or otherwise. One of our most ordered from restaurants for sure.
Los Magueyes Beverly Hills
In all the years we have lived here, we have eaten here the most. They have been the most consistent and delicious for YEARS.
Bangkok Thai
They have awesome sausages and sandwiches! Highly recommend!
Fehrenbacher's Meats & Eats
You ever hear someone say "I'm from NY, I know pizza"? Well..... This pizza is the best I've had in Gainesville. The curry or the berliner... OMG.
Humble Wood Fire Pizzeria
Arts & Entertainment
This museum is awesome for science minded kids and adults! We have enjoyed multiple exhibits here... And the gift shop is small but mighty. 🥰
Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention
This is a great museum, but the best part is their butterfly rainforest. The conservation efforts here are so wonderful. Absolutely our favorite place to visit! (They also have an amazing gift shop.)
