Campus attractions at the university of central florida.

By Florence Beth Snyder

When you don’t have time to take in one of Orlando ’s world-famous theme parks, visit the University of Central Florida (UCF) and see the kind of imagineering that has made it the largest public university east of the Mississippi River.

UCF offers a special view into the night sky at the Robinson Observatory, where they like to point out the Knight in the sky with the Pegasus constellation.

- Julie Fletcher for VISIT FLORIDA

UCF is known by its nickname, the Knights, and its symbol, the mythological winged-horse Pegasus. The university’s motto is “Reach for the stars,” and you’ll understand why when you visit the Robinson Observatory for one of its popular “Knights Under the Stars” open houses. UCF’s friendly physicists love talking about Pegasus, the constellation that resembles the horse, and other points of interest in the night sky. For those whose tastes trend toward the bucolic, there’s lots to do at the 82-acre Arboretum . It began modestly in 1983 with 12 acres just east of the biology building. Today, it’s a focal point of UCF’s growing presence in the global marketplace of ideas for creating sustainable urban environments. Take a self-guided tour any day between sunrise and sunset. You can hike or bike three miles of trails which exhibit four uniquely Florida habitats. The Oak Hammock is a favorite place to enjoy a picnic lunch. UCF asks only that visitors “take nothing but photos and leave nothing but footprints.” The Arboretum features a Community Garden, where you’re likely to run into student volunteers and local supporters. Since the Garden opened in 2009, they’ve been tending the land for no compensation but the joy of learning, teaching and bringing home a share of the vegetables, flowers and herbs they produce. Have your camera handy. You’ll want a picture of the gentle and beautiful deer who poke around, trying to find a way past the fence that protects the Garden from four-legged gourmands. As Orlando-area teachers and Scoutmasters know, with a little advance planning, Arboretum staff can customize an outdoor educational experience at a very modest fee, typically $3 per person per hour. Impromptu visitors can take advantage of the free tours available during the week.

Housing over half a million specimens, The Bug Closet is a fascinating space where tours can be set up ahead of time.

If someone you love is fascinated by creepy-crawlies and things that go bump in the night, give them the gift of a trip to UCF’s Bug Closet . The bugs ­­— more formally known as “arthropods” and studied by “entomologists” — are part of one of the world’s largest collections. Outreach Coordinator Erin Barbeau is never bugged by requests to come see the critters up close. Email her at [email protected] a week or two ahead, and make arrangements for a visit the kids won’t forget, complete with an opportunity to pet some live insects. For a less tactile but equally intense experience, consider UCF’s calendar of musical and theatrical events . Students come from 152 countries and all 50 states, many drawn by the highly regarded performing arts programs. It’s a student body bouillabaisse that makes for rich and spicy productions, at prices that won’t bust the family budget. UCF is home to the nation’s highest rated jazz radio station. You can listen online to what the Knights call “jazz and more” at WUCF 88.9 FM , or drop by the Communications Building where the state-of-the-art studio is housed.

Internationally known artists sometimes make surprise visits to brighten up the Knight air with a live performance on WUCF, or to record with the university’s in-house record label, Flying Horse Records . The UCF-Orlando Jazz Festival was launched in 2008, and has quickly grown into an annual spring semester highlight. The Knights are as serious about sports as they are about academics. They dress to intimidate in their school colors, black and gold, and their 44,000 seat football stadium — the first National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I stadium to open in the 21st century — is known as The Bouncehouse because it shakes visibly when students jump during their unofficial fight song, Zombie Nation’s “Kernkraft 400.” The earth doesn’t move quite as much in the CFE Arena, where both the men’s and women’s basketball teams play their home games. But the one-of-a-kind “blacktop” court took seven months to design and inspires Knights fans to dangerous decibel levels. If you’re watching courtside, earplugs are a good idea. Ten bucks buys you a day pass to the Recreation and Wellness Center . It’s a wellness wonderland, a theme park for seekers of a sound mind in a sound body. The RWC welcomes students, faculty and visitors of every fitness level to partake of all the usual methods of burning calories — weights, cardio, a nine-lane lap pool and every kind of court sport — and also to explore the spiritual side of sweating, perhaps with one of the six different kinds of yoga classes offered. There’s a greater variety of Zumba, spinning and barre classes than you’ll find at the average neighborhood gym, and whatever the next big thing in fitness is, chances are the RWC will have it. The RWC prides itself on inclusiveness, and many of its activities, such as the luxurious “leisure pool,” are wheelchair accessible. Discover the 41-foot-tall Climbing Tower in air-conditioned comfort. Students are standing by to assure a safe and happy experience, even for first-time climbers. For a good time at ground level, discover the more cerebral fun of geocaching and the joys of disc golf at the RWC’s nine-hole course. The Knights love company when they “ Light Up UCF ” for the holidays with light shows, outdoor ice skating, an ice slide, holiday movies under the stars and carnival rides and attractions. The party begins in mid-November in Knights Plaza, and doesn’t stop until after Baby New Year settles in.

To Do Today: Explore the Historic Longfellow House

Bu today interns, what .

Longfellow House–Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site .

When? 

Open Fridays through Mondays, 9:30 am to 5 pm, from late May through October 28. The grounds and gardens are open year-round every day from dawn to dusk. Find more information here .

Where?  

105 Brattle St., Cambridge. Take an MBTA Red Line train or the Route 66 bus to Harvard Square and walk up Brattle Street.

How much?  

Why should i go.

Few historic homes can boast the kind of storied provenance that the Longfellow House has. Built in 1759, the Georgian mansion was General George Washington’s headquarters during the 1775-1776 Siege of Boston, when he served as commander in chief of the Continental Army. Later, it was the home of one of the nation’s most famous 19th-century poets, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who lived there from his marriage in 1843 until his death in 1882. Longfellow wrote many of his best-known poems, including “The Song of Hiawatha” and “Paul Revere’s Ride,” while living in the house. 

Today, the house is maintained by the National Park Service, which offers free ranger-led tours . Visitors can see the room Washington used as his war council room, where the Continental Army was planned, as well as manuscripts, family papers, furnishings, and clothing belonging to the Longfellow family. Tours are the only way to visit the house, and run approximately 30 minutes. Special “deep dive” and family tours are also available at certain times each week, and are about an hour. See the full tour schedule here .

Be sure to leave time to walk among the formal gardens, which were designed by Longfellow. The East Lawn is the setting for the Longfellow Summer Arts Festival each week from June through August, offering readings and music for families and kids. Or just take a walk around and explore the curated gardens at your own pace.

Who built the house in 1759? Who owned it prior to 1775?

You can find more information about the house’s history here: https://www.nps.gov/long/index.htm

The house was built for John Vassall, a young man who had inherited great wealth from a Jamaican slave-labor plantation. He married and raised his family in the house until 1774, when the Revolutionary turmoil made him move into Boston. The Vassalls then settled in England.

The house was unoccupied, except by a family enslaved to the Vassalls, when the Revolutionary War began. The Massachusetts Provincial Government therefore took control of it and soon made it available to Gen. George Washington. Later during the war Massachusetts formally confiscated the property and sold it to the highest bidder.

One outcome of those legal moves is that the enslaved family that had lived there, who had taken the surname Vassall, petitioned the Massachusetts government for a pension, arguing that since the state had taken the property it also assumed the responsibility to provide for the people legally attached to that property in their old age. Massachusetts granted Tony and then his widow Cuba Vassall small pensions. They owned some land nearby in Cambridge, which became the nucleus of an early African-American community in town.

UCF at Florida Football Game Set for Primetime Window

UCF football’s Oct. 5 matchup against Florida at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville will kick off in primetime, as the Southeastern Conference and its television partners announced Tuesday the game will start between 6 and 8 p.m. ET.

The exact kickoff time and tv network will be announced as the game approaches.

UCF and Florida will meet for the fourth time in the history of the programs, with the Knights winning the most recent matchup in the 2021 Gasparilla Bowl. UCF outscored Florida 20-7 in the second half and held the Gators scoreless for the game’s final 23 minutes to earn a 29-17 victory in head coach Gus Malzahn ’s first season leading the Black and Gold.

With the announcement of the broadcast window, UCF will have at least three games air in primetime during the 2024 season as the Knights’ Sept. 14 road game at TCU and regular-season finale against Utah at home will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET, respectively.

The Knights open their 2024 campaign against New Hampshire at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29 at FBC Mortgage Stadium. The first meeting between the programs will air live on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

The Big 12 will publish the remainder of the game times on a regular basis throughout the fall, on either a 12- or six-day turnaround from week to week.

For the fourth consecutive season and fifth time since 2019, UCF has sold out its football season tickets.
