Fun things to do in Pensacola: 48 fun attractions and activities

3/27/2025: Small art museum in the historic district of Pensacola. I’m not a big art gallery person, but this self guided tour was part of the full ticket we purchased, so we checked it out while we were there. It took us about 25 minutes to see all the exhibits. It’s worth the time to check it out.

Admittedly, the museum is small, and its current layout may feel limited. At the moment, only one floor is open, mainly showcasing local or regional contemporary creations, which may not appeal to all visitors. There is a small engraving by Goya and a piece by Gallé, though these are discreetly placed and easy to overlook. I remembered, from a visit about twenty years ago, a respectable collection of 19th-century American paintings that I found of real interest. It's unclear whether this has been moved or replaced temporarily, possibly to make room for the upcoming exhibition (apparently focused on aquatic themes, based on what's being prepared upstairs). Of course, this is only a matter of personal taste. I hope that the museum’s promise of being “more than a museum,” as stated on the poster outside, will be realized in future exhibitions. For now, I personally found the current offering rather underwhelming. The French-language signage is somewhat tucked away in a back corridor, currently closed to children’s activities. That said, the staff were very welcoming, admission was reduced (6 instead of 12 dollars), and the ticket is valid for a week and also gives access to other museums in the city—which is a definite plus. The temperature inside, thanks to the building's history as a former prison, is pleasantly cool.

This art gallery currently has some interesting but very disturbing works on display (August 2025). I couldn’t quite understand the motivation behind the exhibition, which felt more suited to a dedicated contemporary art venue.. especially because the pieces have such a provoking character. The “Duality” exhibition on the second floor was intense. For example, one piece showed a twisted, uprooted tree hanging from above, and beneath it a torn-up patch of grass resembling a grave, where several maggots were arranged around two dead hands. This is not for children… my son, looking at it, couldn’t understand what he was seeing. Personally, I also found the “church tank” and some hanging udders difficult to take in within the context of a city museum. I don’t feel that the Museum of Art is the right environment for these works, and I wouldn’t take my kids back here. Ticket: We got a combined ticket for the Museum of History, the Art Gallery, and the Historic Village.. $12 for adults and $7 for kids. It’s a good deal if you want a first look into Pensacola’s culture and history all in one day. Museum Store: yes

Art Mueseum is small went through it in about 30 min. You also get admission to the History, Industry, Commerce and Childrens Museums plus a tour through the Historic Church and Homes they offer 3 times a day.

Very small, very personal exhibition with a few nice pieces and a historic setting inside and old jail. The centerpiece down stairs was basically the highlight of the trip. The lady at the front desk was nice and sociable and there was an art class during my visit that was full underway.

This is a very nice museum and staff. The location is great and it was my first stop and where I learned that I could pay $10 and visit other museums as long as I had my receipt. It last 7 days except for the ticket bought on Sunday. That ticket is only $5 because only 3 museums open and expired that day. The special exhibit is the Seance by American artist Shannon Taggart. It’s quite interesting and helps to see how others think etc. There are paintings on the 2nd floor. They are by different artist. There is a gift shop. I love art and if you are the same, highly recommend touring this museum!

We visited on Labor Day Saturday. Parking is along the street means you may have a bit of a walk. Buying entrance to one historical area, gives you entrance to a number of others in the area. Very good value for the money. Downstairs has some nice pieces. Upstairs is for the touring exhibit. A very nice museum for a smaller town.

We were pleasantly surprised by all the houses on the tour. Our tour guide was a kind young man who knew an incredible amount of details. It was fun following him through these historic homes. We were there a week ago while traveling from SC back to TX. We were happy to finally make it to the historic Pensacola Village. I think Christ Church had an interesting history. We barely scraped the surface of all the stories to be told here. Everyone working here dressed in clothes from a long ago time. Well done Pensacola. Our tour guide was a University Student and did such a phenomenal tour for all of us. He told us so many stories. His stories brought the old homes to life as we wandered through.

We had an amazing experience at Historic Pensacola Village! For just $12, we got a 2-hour guided tour plus access to the Historic Museum, Art Museum, and more — and the pass is good for 7 days. Our guide, Seven, was outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing Pensacola’s history. The tour was well-paced, the exhibits were fascinating, and everything far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Pensacola!

Our tour guide was Melissa and she was great! Very interactive and knowledgeable. We definitely got our monies worth. Very inexpensive for a 2 hour tour. Enjoyed it tremendously! We recommend this tour. There is so much to see and the ticket is good for 7 days!! Are you serious??? That's amazing. Day 1 - Do the tour Day 2 - Go to the beach and enjoy all the activities the beach has to offer - kayaking, jet skiing, parasailing, sailboarding, sunbathing, mini golf, etc. Day 3 - Do a dolphin watch or a fishing charter Day 4- tour the area restaurants and check out the rest of the buildings/museums and have a day of it Day 5 - finally, a day at the pool/beach just relaxing.

Amazing tour of some fascinating sites. Melissa, the tour guide, gave great insight and phenomenal energy. She definitely made the tour exciting. A must-see attraction for anyone interested in the history of Pensacola. I’d ask for Melissa:)

We absolutely loved it!!!! We stayed at Rusty Acres Farm, Cynthia and Scott were amazing hosts, there dog Sam was my companion from the moment we arrived ❤️. If you love the laid-back feel, this is a great spot.

This was a wonderful tour and very enlightening and educational. Chase did a fantastic job walking us through and giving us a line-by-line history of the formation of Pensacola. Loved it!

One of the coolest things to do in Pensacola! Gale was a fantastic tour guide, she is a former teacher who had so much knowledge about the location and area. She made the tour very interesting and engaging for everyone. She never failed to make us laugh! We learned so much about the vast history of the area. Great for families and kids as well!

The Mess Hall is a gift that keeps giving to Pensacola. It provides great opportunities for young and old to learn STEM concepts in a fun and communal environment, with routinely changing events and interactive experiences. Learn something new with each visit. The staff is engaging and informed, particularly Ariel, who has always been patient, kind and genuinely invested in ensuring kids have fun and learn new things about science and the world. Definitely check this place out with your family.

Teeny tiny little powerhouse of a science museum. We loved the mess menu that included activity kits for the kids to do. I don't think I've ever seen such a small yet mighty museum. Got in free with our ASTC travel membership but made sure to buy a bunch of stuff from their gift corner including some take home mess kits! Keep up the good work guys!

3 years ago we came and fell in love with Mess Hall. 2 years ago we came back and didn’t realize it was the week they close to get ready for summer. Last year we were out of the country. If you are a parent reading this - you know it means my kids (now 10 and 8) have asked for 3 years when we are going to make it back to Mess Hall. We made it back today and I can confidently say we will be back again! We spend hours here as a family and no one asks for an electronic or says, “I’m bored.” Highly recommend! There is something for everyone!

I’m sorry to say that I was very disappointed in our visit to the mess hall. It cost $30 to get in for an adult and a four-year-old. 90% of the exhibits far exceeded the comprehension of a four-year-old. The condition of the exhibits was very disappointing. The large blue foam blocks that my grandson played with were filthy. I Applied hand sanitizer to his hands multiple times. The fishing poles for the little fishing game only had one that had a magnet that actually was strong enough to pick up the fish. The marble run exhibit had many pieces that were cracked and needed to be replaced. Ex- 2 L plastic bottle pieces. Plastic dishes containing objects to view under the microscope were badly scratched and interfered with clear viewing. The music bench did not work properly. The staff that was present did not engage or explain anything when I did ask a question she didn’t even bother to come out from behind the counter to explain or show us how to do anything. I feel I wasted $30. There should be different price levels for age of children if you are going to have so many exhibits that they don’t understand. Again, very disappointed in the experience I won’t return

This place was awesome! My 5 yo had a blast. My 2 yo enjoyed the river. We were here for two and a half hours and did science experiments the whole time!! Great activity for a windy beach day. Can't wait to stop by next year and see what new things we can get into when we can read ourselves. Thank you to the awesome staff who was there to answer any questions and to suggest new mess kits for us to try out. My oldest even asked for more supplies to make her own creation. Loved it! Great stop!!

This place is wonderful!!! The staff are all super helpful! The science experiments and hands on learning stations are great for all ages, my 4 and 6 year old had a blast and my husband and I did too!! We will definitely come back when in the area.

This place is truly great for all ages! Just keep in mind that some activities may only engage really young children for only so long before they are ready to move on to the next thing, however, there is enough to do for all ages. I went with our nieces ages 6 & 14 & our 20 year old daughter and all of them had fun. There are optical illusion things to try out, a little room with an abundance of slides to place under a microscope that shows you what you see on a screen on the wall, lots of activities even within this room. The bigger area has different activities that vary from wind tubes, table with water, sand, & rocks so our girls were able to create a dam, marble run was the mist time spent with the youngest two & loads of fun, & activity craft table with an abundance of options of crafts you can do as a family! Visit their website to see complete listing of activities and for only $10 per person (they also have military discount) was amazing for this SUPER educational place to go. One hour is NOT enough time to get through everything and we will be going back. Next time I'm taking my hubby because this is all right up his alley, but seriously just so much fun. If you like to watch "how this is made" or things that explain science-related facts, this is a fun, hands-on way to learn at ANY age. It's 1 floor, room for stroller, tables/chairs to sit down if need to rest, & friendly/helpful staff. Seriously, so fun!

Love this area. So alive and busy. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The laughter and chatter all around you with beautiful weather and everyone going thier own ways and doing their own thing. Really is a beautiful thing. So jump in the scene and live a life serene. The trees, the park, everything in between. The art, colors, all so freeing. This is the place to be if you believe, if you agree get out there and go see. 👀 it's a great place to be.

Beautiful place of history about bars restaurants and stores . Great place and great people.

If you're looking for a weekend getaway, Palafox Street Downtown has a little bit of everything. One stop at Bubba's ice cream shop is enough to keep you coming back. And, trust me, one scoop in a waffle cone is plenty.

First time going and my family and I had a great time visiting all the stalls and the people were very friendly. It was quite busy but not too crowded and settled right in the heart of Pensacola, definitely worth a visit!

We visited the Palafox Market, it was very nice, many artists and food vendors. Plenty to see for everyone.

Palafox Street has regularly been named one of the 10 Best Streets in America and it never disappoints! Great shops, restaurants, bars, amazing number of quality breweries and coffee shops, beautiful historic architecture, museums, etc. What a great place just to walk around EVERY day or night, whether there are events in progress or not...and there are almost ALWAYS fun events going on such as Gallery Night (the 3rd Friday of every month), Festivals, Parades, Mardi Gras (which kicks off this Sat night at 5pm), Dog Friendly celebrations, Farmer's Markets every weekend, kid-friendly events, etc. If you haven't been to Downtown Pensacola yet...why not??!!

Such a nice, nostalgic place on the water! Very chilled atmosphere.

My family visited the Pensacola Children’s Museum on April 8, 2025. My kids had an absolute blast and did I honestly. They have a small Publix grocery store which we all were enjoying ourselves before having to visit the small doctors office and laboratory on the second floor. On the first floor you will have a small fort, trading post, and little cottage. Definitely a great place for kids to explore and it’s relatively cheap entertainment for the kids and even better the museum tickets are good for 7 days for all museums.

Very cute for its size. Kids had fun. Due to its location strollers are not allowed around the museum. They have a small stroller parking area in lobby. Only 1 elevators to use no stairs.

Used my Pogo Pass and took my 2 year old to the Pensacola Children's Museum. He had so much FUN! We especially loved the mini Publix grocery store and the hospital. We spent hours playing. The staff did a fabulous job at keeping the place tidy too!

Great children's museum, geared more towards young children I'd say 6yrs and younger..ticket price could be lower especially now that you pay to park, but it gets you into all the museums ..which dosent interest that age group.

It was great entertainment for my toddler! The first floor could use a bit of maintenance —-some areas need a fresh coat of paint and a small upgrade.

So much fun! Took my 11 month old and my 1 1/2 year old niece. They loved it. I'm so glad they have a place like this for little ones to just be kids, be free to explore, and interact. Free if you're a student or have EBT/Snap, ticket gives you access for 7 days and to other museums. If you're looking for a place to take your crawling baby or walking toddler, this is it!

My 3 year old loves this place. It is smaller but the activities are age appropriate and fun to where she wanted to stay and go in and out of each of the rooms for hours. It's definitely worth the money. My only problem is that it would be nice for the parents to tidy up after their kids are finished with an activity so that the next child can enjoy it.

Beautiful venue and acoustics for musical concerts and other performing arts. Just enjoyed the 100th year celebration of the theater. There's plenty of affordable paid parking and restaurants in the general area of the theater

Saw the showing of Beetlejuice (the movie) here. Super cool venue with tons of seating and since it was general admission we were able to try lots of different angles. There were a few cons to the experience. Firstly the theater “Marshalls” did nothing to keep people from talking incessantly. I get that it is an older movie, but there should be some level of decorum kept. Secondly, they cut off booze sales with about 30 minutes left in the show. I understand there might be liability issues, but everywhere else downtown lets you drink till you leave, so it just feels underwhelming to get cut off with time restrictions. Overall a net positive, and would definitely return for future events.

Went last night to see Gary Allan. We weren't told that there was an opening act and a far as the sound and lighting went, apparently the theater wasn't told either. We were only able to see who was singing for the last two songs. We still don't know who it was but they had a couple of nice songs. When Gary came on everything was good for the first song. We had really close seats and were excited for the show. But, apparently any and everyone is allowed to stand and dance at their seats. The staff would not make the people in front of us sit down. The only actions that they took at the beginning of his part of the concert was to try(didn't happen) to stop people from recording and taking pictures. We paid the same good money to SEE him. But *ssholes in front didn't care that they blocked a whole section of us from being able to do that. I won't pay that money again for good seats, if I ever go back there, because they don't enforce any of the rules that they have. I was very disappointed as we have seen concerts at the Mobile location and they were great.

Beautiful theater! Seems like no "bad" seats for view, but they could have had more leg room...my knees hit the seat in front of me (I'm avg size). I guess it's a product of it's age. Very nice volunteer ushers! Overall great experience.

Beautiful theater, lots of history there. We watched the Rock orchestra by candle light, loved them! The theater chairs were very uncomfortable, and small, we were packed in there like sardines. I know the building is old, the air quality was lacking, it brought on an asthma attack. Had my inhaler in the car, so it was ok. Would I go again? Yes indeed. However, I will plan ahead, and be mindful of the seating, and take allergy meds prior to going, and have my inhaler with me! Lol

Cool spooky place. Full of history. Good place to see events!

I seen Rock Orchestra by candlelight! It was awesome, I love going to this venue. There is always someone to help with anything you need. The seats are comfortable, the atmosphere is great, the sound is good and the theater is very nice.

Awesome and Relevant Local Art Display!!! It also includes a lock fence area for couples or family memories. Graffiti seems to get updated every so often, so I will definitely be back. Current art this week included pieces for Ozzy and Hulk Hogan.

Really neat idea. Enjoy just observing artwork and messages or add your own as well! Gravel parking for maybe up to 20 cars. Just to be aware, not a smooth surface, but a natural pebble and rock walking surface.

I love Pensacola. The Graffiti Bridge area is soo beautiful and serene. With people boating or jet skiing or painting something quirky on the bridge, it's such a fun representation of our beautiful town.

The graffiti bridge was amazing beautiful colors and everything little walking paths and I advise if you come here bring a lock and lock it on the fence.

Super cool attraction! If you have been to pensacola and haven't stopped here for some pics/tik toks you are missing out! Definitely a unique attraction!

Cool place to see !! Also bring paint and create your own artwork!! Beautiful place to fish as well! Bring a lock for fence !!

This is my favorite place in Pensacola. I like to think of it as the “catch and release” of art. I think about the good creative energy from every person that has come to add another layer to the bridge giving it a moment of theirs to express themselves freely. I like to see each layer of seemingly ongoing collaborative paint chaos like rings on a tree. It’s a place that doesn’t discriminate, available 24/7, it has an ocean (gulf) view, it’s all ages, great creative space to create small or big masterpieces. I recommend anyone that visits or stays here to go add to the layers of art at least once. Art saves 💛

It’s a fun place to visit and the ride options are great. However, said rides are not well maintained and do require some work. More specifically the Go-Karts which are fun, but some are slow and some are fast making it hard to compete with each other. All that being said you can have fun at the place and it has its own charm to it.

I took my 7-year-old to splash City adventures in Pensacola Florida a couple of weeks ago. Although it wasn't terribly expensive they didn't inform us that she was not able to ride on many of the slides due to her height. If I would have known that she was limited to only one or two of the water slides I probably wouldn't have taken her to that one. A lot of the rides were not operational we were there during the day. I was told it was due to staffing. The park is relatively clean although if it was mine I would dispose of a lot of the trash that they have in different places of the park where the patrons can see it. We did have a good time but we're the kind of people that always make the best of a situation..

Trust the negative reviews! A friend invited me to go here and i tried my hardest to convince her to aviod it after reading reviews. Against everyones better judgement we decided to give it a shot. One of those “If its awful At least we’ll suffer together” type trips. And well we did just that. We suffered together. Waterpark only review: (Because the rides from the outside looked so sletchy I refused to let me child ride them) When purchasing the tickets they ended up being more than what it said online. When brought up to the staff they said they know but “they just wont update it.” (assuming management) We walked in 10 minutes after opening and there was trash everywhere on the ground. The bathrooms had no soap. The toddler kiddie area: half the area wasnt in operation. In the portion that was working the water animal pumps didnt work. The netting for the little slides where off on all of them. Minor complaint however just take them off so there not dangling in the water trapping little kids legs and feet! There were water bugs. The lazy river had nature debris in it. Not just a few leaves here and there. An abundance of broken leaves and other particles. You couldnt stand up without having them stuck all over your body. We noticed that filters in the lazy river werent on or work. In fact the water was so low that there wasnt even a way for the water to get into the filters. The tubes were half deflated. The slides where rusty and slimy. One of our children did say “the slides are fun but the water is NOT.” It was grossing our children out. Children who normally dont may much attention. One area had a traffic cone IN the water. EVERY area we went to the water wasn’t clean and had MANY MANY bugs in it. water bugs (one who feed off algae. The ones who wouldnt be there if the water was properly maintained). We walked over to the aarcade area for the concessions there. It took over an hour to get pizza. The staff working while they were nice you could tell they didnt want to be there and were very forgetful and not paying attention. Half the games we looked at where also out of order. The bright side was that the bathrooms in here had soap! The saddest part about the whole thing is that this place has so much potential if the owners would just give it some TLC! I kept thinking about how i bet the place was so fun and so cool back when it first opened. I could imagine the fun place it was. I really hope the owners read all the bad reviews and use it as constructive feedback snd make the changes necessary! Ohhh also when purchasing tickets the lady at the counter screamed at everyone to be quiet and then proceeded to tell everyone to make their family go outside and wait until the tickets where purchased. The whole trip was definitely an experience I’ll never forget!

The impression I got is that this place is going out of business soon and they’re squeezing the last bit of profit that they can out of it. We went there for laser tag but it was out of order (no biggie).There was some sort of leak in the ceiling. So we did go karts instead, which was fun. High school kids are running the place on a weekend, which is probably normal I guess. So many things are broken at this place. I gotta say we won’t be going back until the next business takes over.

Fun, Family-Friendly Spot with Great Staff — Minor Upkeep Needed We had a great time overall at Splash City! There’s something here for all ages, and our whole family had a blast — especially floating around the lazy river and going down the blue waterslide, which quickly became everyone’s favorite. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Special shoutout to Delo for being so welcoming, and to Jennifer, the manager, who handled everything with professionalism and kindness. It was also reassuring to see several lifeguards who were alert and actively monitoring their assigned areas. They offer plenty of chairs and tables for guests, along with a generous amount of shaded areas — especially appreciated by seniors and parents with newborns. The sand play area was also a great addition for little ones to enjoy. That said, there are a few things to be aware of. The locker rental machine wasn’t accepting cash during our visit, and the water in the slide pool area (where the four main slides drop into) was noticeably green and could use some attention. One of the large red slides was also out of commission due to a broken step. Some areas of the park appear worn down — with broken boards, exposed cords near buildings, and chipped paint on fencing standing out. While it didn’t ruin our experience, it’s something management might want to address for safety and appearance. Still, if you’re looking for a fun and affordable family outing, Splash City is worth the visit!

First 60 seconds of being in line for tickets, staffer or manager (unsure) yelled at all parents and children to, “Everyone get out that aren't paying for tickets!” Some parents and single parents yelled back saying they're not sending their kids outside with them. Tickets are sold by height. Second, the ticket prices online and the ticket prices at the park are different. They don't HONOR the price online and state, “Well, they haven't changed it yet!” Third, half the floats in the park are under inflated or flat. Fourth, we ordered food and it took 1 hour plus for our food. I was asked multiple times what we ordered because they forgot. The pizza was trash, undercooked and doughy in the middle and the staff was more interested in getting drinks themselves from the fountain machine than remembering and working on our order. Fifth, very few employees actually act nice and are helpful, the rest seemed not to care at all. Honestly, if I could give a negative star for here, I would.

If you’re looking for a post-apocalyptic amusement park experience, this is the spot. Most of the attractions were either broken, boarded up, or just sad to look at. The go-karts felt like they were built during the Cold War and hadn’t been touched since. Pretty sure one of them coughed when it started. The mini golf course? More like a soft, spongy lawn with some broken sticks pretending to be obstacles. Half the holes were missing anything remotely fun. One had what looked like a collapsed windmill and a squirrel living in it. And the bumper boats—oh boy. They’re floating… technically. They’re sitting in a greenish, mysterious swamp that smells like expired salad dressing and regret. I saw a frog take one over. No joke. Save your money, your sense of dignity. And save yourself. Burn your map if it leads here. Go home, hug your family, and be thankful you didn’t buy the “all-day pass.” Only good thing I can say is most of the people that work there were very polite and helpful. So if you’re looking for new friends you might find that here.

Beautiful forrest on the coast. With pretty trails and a nice beach. A lot of wildlife.

We hiked 7 miles covering numerous trains within the park. The trail was nice, but a bit boring. Also, the sand on the trails - in many places - were quite loose making it somewhat difficult to walk.

The Breckenridge nature trail was a fun trail to hike through. We saw some wildlife. The observation point overlooking the bay was great. The visitor center was closed. Make sure to have bug spray on you to keep mosquitos and flies away.

Regarding the NW portion of the park. There is a picnic area and bathroom facilities. The bathrooms were closed during my visit. It could have been due to the freezing temps the night before or just a season thing. The part of the trail I walked was mostly soft sand. At the first west boundary there is a gate and it appears this is a regular entrance for people. I certainly plan to revisit at a later date to explore the other parts.

Miles of trails for hiking or running. Mainly sandy, so extra workout.

One of the best places in Gulf Breeze to take walks, with or without dogs.

Little confusing at first. There's a parking lot and close to it a trail to the bay. Nice sandy walk about 1/4-1/3 mile each way. Beach is really nice

We had theBEST time at Fast Eddie’s! The manager Shauna went through the tickets, food, and prices with us and took the time to make sure my sons had the best time. And the general manager Jamie came out and greeted us, made sure my sons were enjoying their food and made us feel welcome. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Fast Eddie’s Fun Center in Pensacola, Florida, offers thrilling family entertainment with go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, batting cages, and an arcade. Whether you’re racing friends or enjoying a relaxing round of golf, it’s perfect for all ages. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff make it a top spot for fun-filled outings and group events.

Was a blast!! I recommend getting the souvenir cup for slushies, they go down really easily on a hot day with refills being $2 instead of nearly $6 for a single cup. The banana slushies tastes just like the Popsicles! We had an absolute blast doing the track for all five of us, came inside to cool down with the arcade, then back outside to put-put. Our 13th birthday boy said it was great and that's all I could have asked for!

Every machine worked. My Grandson loved the construction site and the Jr track. First time having a banana slushy. The ladies working was patient with my son that took forever picking his prizes. Will definitely go again when we’re in town

I brought my son (who has down syndrome) to the fun ctr today and we had a great time. Shawn and Austin were especially helpful and patient as my son raced around the track. He also got to practice his softball swings in the batting cage. Then, we went inside and played air hockey, motorcycle racing, VR games, etc. We have visited before, and we will be back again!

MY KIDDOS LOVED IT!!! THEY HAD A GREAT TIME! MAMA WON THEM LOTS OF TICKETS 🎟 💓

This place is great for kids and adults. They have several different go cart tracks for the different levels of skill. They also have a fun mini golf course. I've not tried the batting cage, but they have three there. Finally the arcade is also great. It has a ton of games and ways to have fun. If you have kids they will love it.

Beautiful place to walk! I would rate it 5 stars if it wasn't for the rampant graffiti. There is hardly a place on the whole boardwalk that wasn't covered in spray paint. It looks like it's been covered up multiple times, but to no avail. Still, a nice walk and a nicely upkept place. The graffiti served as a nice read while I was walking, I might admit. I would walk here again, but the graffiti means I could not walk here with smaller kids or anyone under 16. Great place for a workout though!

Really neat spot just off the road. Just have to walk down the Boardwalk, (definitely needs to be fixed in spots so be careful) walk down by the water and just a nice place to walk around and pick up seashells & different rocks. You do walk over some railroad tracks that are still being used so be careful.

Great beach access park they did an awesome job of building a huge boardwalk. Please keep it nice and do not spray paint all over it find something more intelligent to do. There's also a great workout station with pull up bar, sit up bench, and balance beam. Blackberry plants growing everywhere here, the thorny vines with the white-light pink flowers.

Really loved the boardwalk and the water access. Some stairs need repairs, so be aware. Graffiti adds a certain atmospheric touch, whether that is good or bad remains to the viewer. Nice niche spot to go for an easy walk.

At first, we thought this was going to be a short walk(0.8 miles round trip). The boardwalk descends downward, then travels along side the bluffs. We were able to leave the boardwalk and travel along a nice walking trail. Also, there were a few paths leading down to Pensacola Bay. We decided to walk along the beach. It was a cool day, but the views of the Pensacola Bay were worth it.

There is nothing more beautiful than being out in nature and the Bluffs is really really perfect. With different levels of stairs for you to climb and look over the Bay, it's tranquil and peaceful. And then all of a sudden here comes the train right along the waters edge. Bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it with your family, guaranteed to keep the kids entertained and wear them out!

Nice family activity! The walk is not too difficult and there is a lot to look at. Unfortunately, some people feel the need to write all over the boardwalk's railings, but it is still a beautiful walk. The walk is fairly kid friendly, but NOT stroller friendly due to the stairs and narrow boardwalk. The beach is hard to get to though because you have to leave the boardwalk.

3/27/2025: Good information about Pensacola and laid out nicely with displays, 3 stories, and separate rooms. We bought the ticket for the full historic district tours. It was $12 per adult ($7 for kids) and you can use the ticket for 7 days. I reviewed each piece separately for a better understanding of what you see in each section. I’ve been vacationing in Pensacola Beach since 1975 when I was a baby. I’m glad I finally got some history of the place I love so much!

This museum offers a unique glimpse into the history of Pensacola and its people. Known as the “City of Five Flags,” Pensacola has a rich story, and this museum gives a clear overview of the major steps in its past. It’s easy to explore for kids, though younger ones might find it less exciting since there’s a lot of reading across the two floors. If you want to dive into Pensacola’s history, it’s a great starting point. There’s also a charming museum store with unique items … and the little bar is absolutely adorable.

While In Pensacola for a work trip I stumbled upon this absolute gem when I had some free time. There is a tremendous amount to see and learn. Tickets are only 12 dollars and there are a few guided tours each day. I was lucky enough to go on one of these tours with Chase as my tour guide. For over an hour I got to go into 3 different historical houses and a church to learn about the area’s history and notable residents. I was the only person attending the tour but nevertheless Chase was awesome in giving me the full guided experience. Getting to actually go into the furnished buildings and learn about the history was a truly unique experience. I will definitely come back next time I’m in Pensacola.

Most fun of any museum visit today! The lady at the front desk was wonderful and the 3 story exhibition is a great mix of history, culture and fun. Especially enjoyable are the sports section that includes original Roy Jones Jr. Memorabilia as well as the history of ping pong as well as the recreation of Traders Jon's Bar. There is so much there to stimulate the senses and decades of war things to enjoy. Plus I have to add that the price of admission is very inexpensive.

I like the design of museum and how inviting it is as you walk up. It’s not cluttered and it’s well organized. There is a nice store to purchase souvenirs and other items. I like that the way the history is displayed and I loved the exhibit on 3rd floor; Black Politicians During Reconstruction. I appreciate this display because it’s a very important part of US history. I also LOVE the Trader Jon’s display. It’s set up as his restaurant. He was a very interesting man and they think he had the most rides with Blue Angels as a civilian. I think he didn’t charge for anything but traded with those in military. And he treated all the same regardless of rank. Seems like a great man! I highly recommended visiting this museum if in the area. Don’t forget that you purchase a $10 ticket at the Museum of Art and can visit all museums. It last 7 days. The ticket on Sunday is half price because only 3 museums are open; Children, Art and History. But only good for that one day! You have to go see what this city had to offer!

Pensacola historic district has several muesums including the history muesum and its all for $12. The ticket is good for all muesums for 7 days. The muesum of history was three floors and I loved how detailed everything was and the staff was so sweet. Definitely worth a visit!

Great place to learn the areas history, one ticket is a 7 day Admission that gets you into the History, Industry, Commerce, Art and Children's Mueseums plus a guided tour of historic houses and the christ church they do 3 times a day, Tuesday Through Saturdays.

Went on the Turtle Runner Ferry to watch the Blue Angels, and it was fabulous! Great crew, nice clean ferry, good beverage selection, non-alcohol and alcohol, snacks, it was super fun.

We took a nice walk to enjoy the views. Really nice place to hangout, look at the high dollar boats and watch the people catch fish.

Very nice place for kids and adults. Free parking and enough areas to walk and comfortable sit enjoying the ocean. During the winter bring your jacket and summers days, of course your shorts are in order. Many restaurants in a very safe area for all.

Great spot to visit while walking the historic area.

It's impressive lil spot to chill out. Id stay longer if there are more shops. But, the leasing is far too high for Most let alone start ups.

Very calm serene spot great place to walk. There’s spots to eat great views lots of different birds. I loved it!!! I enjoyed everything about Pensacola there’s isn’t much I didn’t enjoy.

Enjoyed a walk in downtown Destin at the art gallery. Lots of music, vendors, and eateries. It was hot but fun!! The plaza was pretty cool. It had the atmosphere of New Orleans in a way.

I’ve volunteered and seen many shows at Emerald Coast Theatre Company in Destin, so I was really excited to learn about PLT. First time experience, I had no idea how much bigger it was over ECTC! Like whoa! I’m already planning out where I’m going to sit next time I visit. The sound was clear and vibrant. The show was amazing! No one missed a line, the cast brought everything “to the round table” and left no scraps… as the kids say, “They ate.” …Indeed… New favorite place in Pensacola.

Went to see Improvable Cause this past Saturday. Had an amazing time. I have been coming to PLT to see them and other shows for over a decade and always had a great experience. Never had any issues and the shows are stellar! Extra shout-outs to the troupe and PLT Security. A group of clearly-inebriated women came in and loudly talked in the audience disrupting the show. I was behind them and had a hard time hearing the performers. IC approached them discreetly to ask them to tone it down. When they were escorted out, they barged back in and tried to disrupt the show again, where security promptly came in and guided them out. Very professional and prompt!

Went to see Cinderella for my daughter’s 6th bday. We left early after being asked several times why the step mother was played by a man. The man was wearing a corset, makeup and a full on beard. On top of a lacy purple robe. Super disappointed that she was exposed to that confusion. Wouldn’t have been a big deal had we’d known we would have never purchased tickets. There was no way of knowing until we got there.. Don’t push agendas on my kids.

This was a fun experience. We saw Snow White and the Prince and very much enjoyed the cozy family atmosphere of the Little Theater. The show performers included a broad range of ages and they all did a great job! The costumes were quite well done.

It was a really fun experience to watch RENT live, everyone who participated did their THINGGG!! They all went off!! It was amazing, it was a great birthday present! The entire staff there was super nice no matter what, you can tell they’ve been working hard

Odd little place. I have been here for years and it was my first time in. Nice history.

Cinderella was awesome. The grandchildren loved (2) 5 yr olds and a 9yr old.. Staff was also great. Very pleasant evening.

3/27/2025: Cute displays of old time businesses in Pensacola (or everyday America years ago). This was part of the ticket we purchased at the museum of history. They only have a few displays, but it was worth the time. Took us about 20 minutes to view.

This was the single most lamest exhibit I have ever stepped foot in ever. Kind of looks cool but has zero interactions and is just boring. The AC was kind of nice for a bit after a walkong tour of the historical village.

Florida has a habit of grouping smaller museums together in little complexes full of vintage items packed into historical buildings for a reasonable price and this one is no different. Its tough to measure these museums on their own since if you're visiting one its likely you're visiting all of them in the area. This museum focuses on industry and has a stem lab in it with tons of 3d printing equipment.

Great learning experience for kids and adults.

Awesome space for events! Last, I attended Radio Live here on a Thursday Night and was so impressed by the singers! It was amazing. Awesome to look around inside at the museum and it's historic portrayal of Pensacola's past!

Awesome preservation of history. One of the only places I can find that displays and gives information on John F. Pfeiffer's (my great great great-grandfather's) bakery. I love seeing the unique little places that made Pensacola what it is today.

Venue for wedding. Just the right size for a small wedding. Fun and unusual location. Parking was an issue but did not distract from the space.

Included in the tour is this informative gem that depicts the port of Pensacola's industry trade wonderfully with a few interactive exhibits (some of which are non-functional.) but did not ruin the experience at all. Even without a tour guide it was easy to stroll through and gain information about the area.

I really enjoyed this museum as I had never seen equipment used in the older sawmills. It’s self guided and you can take all the time you like to walk through. It’s located in the same area as Lavelle House, Old Christ Church, Museum of Commerce, and Julee Cottage. The museum is put together very well and larger than I expected. I highly recommended visiting if interested in industry! Remember this is on list of places allowed to tour $10 paid to tour most of historic Pensacola. Such a great deal.

The kids loved seeing everything and learning about history.

So interesting and informative and easy to understand! Great place to understand the history behind the industry which developed Pensacola.SMACK TRACK PIERS and PINE!!!

Outstanding museum for local history enthusiasts! The displays about Pensacola's industrial past were all very interesting, and the saw mill replica was especially impressive.

Great museum, nice people. We really enjoyed it.

Very pleasant area to walk and love the view of the bay and new marina. When there’s a nice breeze it really helps during walks.

This is the most wonderful minor league park I've ever been to. The views, the staff, the food, the games... its just perfect. If you have a visit to Pensacola planned, make sure to add this to your to do list!! Go wahoos!

Love this Stadium, but the same holes are in The Net that were there last couple seasons. They need to be properly sewn/fixed vs a costly replacement. I miss the graphic chalk menu art from 2015-16, that was super inviting. The crowding after events (to leave) are concerning. More areas should be open to leave, to alleviate the "one way in & one way out" sort of traffic style. Crowded like the gory mess picture in The Bay (at the base of the parking lot) Again, I love this place. I hope outsiders don't come in changing all this, too, or infrastructural changes due to influx of new people overcrowding or place monetary parking to go to the park down the hill & around back, or the newly renovated Bruce Beach (like they did DOWNTOWN) LEAVE PNS alone, i say

This wonderful park is located right behind the stadium and is recommended for 5 to 12 year olds. The park is great for little climbers, includes picnic tables, and plenty of space to run around. There's also an awesome fitness court right next to the park so the adults can get their workout in while the kids play. It is also right on the water with lots of area for walking. Definitely worth checking out!

Very spacious and relaxing. Park location is waterside, waterfront beautiful sunrise and sunsets

Baseball !! Yesssss!! Went last year and this year 2025 . Love Blue Wahoos baseball . They had an amazing fireworks show this year.

Absolutely perfect spot to celebrate the 4th of July! We brought a blanket and sat out in the open field to watch the fireworks, and it couldn’t have been a better view. The atmosphere was fun and family-friendly, with plenty of space to spread out and relax. The waterfront backdrop made the show even more magical. This park is beautifully maintained and a great community space year-round, but it really shines during events like this. Highly recommend visiting — especially on a holiday!

My wife paid for me to attend their brew tour that they offered, and the day of the event no one showed up at the meeting location to give me the tour that she purchased. I made several phone calls that day, and left a bunch of text messages, but no one responded. I’m thinking this particular event that they offered is a scam! Please beware if you see them offering the brew tour event! 🤬👎🏾👎🏾

SO much fun!! We had a group of 6 for a 30th Birthday and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our pedal trolley. Drew was a great host and DJ. We originally booked for an incorrect weekend (our fault) and we received a response very quickly with an update for the correct weekend. We brought our coolers but had plenty of stops for drinks we really didn’t touch much in our coolers. Definitely a must do in Pensacola!

Kara, was our guide this past weekend when we were celebrating our father's 67th birthday. She was friendly, accommodating and professional throughout our tour. You also can sync your phone to their Bluetooth and play music which was pretty cool. You can also purchase silver solo cups that are reusable and environmental friendly. You also will get a small discount at the local bars/pubs with your sticker. We recruited a local guy that hoped right on our trolley and helped us pedal. It's so cool you will definitely wanna add this adventure on your next to do list and ask for Kara she's a lot of fun!

Our group had so much fun during our pedal experience for a bachelorette party! Drew was our guide and was super awesome! He made the experience honestly. Highly recommend this to those looking for something unique to do when in town!

Went on the Pensacola pedal trolley with my sisters while in town and it was a great experience. A lot of fun the weather was nice and the tour guide was awesome.. Ever in Pensacola, fl truly recommend this tour…

My friends and I had a great time. The guide, Kara, was a wonderful driver and had a fun time with us too, keeping the energy levels high!

Our group had a blast! Amber was very kind and helpful. Will definitely do this again!

Absolutely Beautiful! Great food on the Pier, Fishing is great as well. Was catching King Fish, Catfish, Mango Snapper & Spanish. Very Family Oriented adults cost $8 for Fishing just for walking not sure.

Pensacola Beach is absolutely breathtaking and one of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S.! The sand is so soft and white it looks like sugar, and the emerald-green water is crystal clear and inviting. Whether you’re swimming, paddleboarding, or just relaxing with your toes in the sand, it feels like paradise. What makes it even better is the atmosphere. It’s lively yet laid-back, with friendly locals, family-friendly vibes, and plenty of great spots to eat fresh seafood right by the water. The boardwalk is full of energy, but you can also find quieter stretches of beach to simply unwind and soak up the sunshine. The sunsets here are truly magical, watching the sky light up in pinks and oranges over the Gulf is worth the trip alone. Between the natural beauty, the welcoming feel, and the endless things to do, Pensacola Beach is a place you’ll want to come back to again and again. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, this beach is second to none. 🌊☀️

We enjoy walking the peirs on vacation. This one was cheap and clean. There was free parking and restrooms close by. As always beautiful views especially at sunset and we saw a ton of sharks on our walk!

This was a very inexpensive way to enjoy the air and the views of the beach. Buy a bracelet and you can peruse the pier until 10PM for whatever you desire. Fishing is abundant, the breeze is great, and the overall experience is pretty decent. There are plenty of trash receptacles that people actually use, meaning the walk is mostly clean. As well as many, many seating options the length of the walk but not at the end.

One of the cleanest beaches I have ever been too. Nice long pier. Fun to see what the fisherman are catching. Wonderful smell of restaurants cooking seafood. Really fun place.

Pier itself is nice! Restrooms need immediate ATTENTION. Really disgusting! If you can go to the RR in your hotel before you visit the pier please do so!

The pier is just like any other… A little crowded no matter what time of day you go and some people have no respect (loud music, smoking, yelling, swearing, setting up directly next to you). Nonetheless, it’s a gorgeous beach, the water is amazing and the sunsets are gorgeous. Within walking distance of multiple shops and restaurants, however I don’t recommend swimming around the pier as it is infested with jellyfish, especially in August, when I went you couldn’t even swim without probably getting stung. Definitely a cool place to check out!

Amazing ! One of the things we enjoyed most. We saw fish, jellyfish, dolphins and pelicans . Wonderful for a hot day . There is air conditioning on the enclosed lower deck and beverages for purchase. We chose to stand on the upper deck and let the air off the ocean cool us. Beautiful! I would definitely make it a must do if you want an adventure! Fun for the whole family ! There is also a restroom on board!

We went on a excursion with City Ferry as part of the workplace event. The crew was full of smiles and they were very friendly, pointing out some of the sights that we might have missed. The ride was very smooth and enjoyable. There was a bar on board in case you wanted something to drink and the ship was very clean and presentable. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone in the area or passing through town.

We were waiting for some family members to join us in Pensacola, so we took the ferry ride to kill some time. It was very nice and relaxing. We were able to see dolphins. At the beach stop, we saw several places that we wanted to visit. We will do the ride again and get off next time.

A relaxing alternative to beach traffic The Pensacola Bay City Ferry offers a tranquil escape from the usual drive to the beach. Instead of sitting in traffic, you can enjoy a scenic water crossing that turns the journey into part of the experience. It’s an efficient way to reach your destination while taking in waterfront views and feeling the sea breeze. Perfect for those who want to start their beach day with a moment of calm rather than the stress of crowded roads.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

we had a great time as a few professional organizations got together for not working yet enjoyable experience. The ride was very smooth and the view was gorgeous

What a fun way to explore the area by boat. Friendly staff, clean vessels, refreshments available. Check it out!

A great boat ride. We went out to watch the Blue Angels.

We had a great experience at the seafood festival, and it was an amazing food trip! There were so many different types of food, drinks, and shopping areas – you name it! I made sure it was so much fun! And good music as well! ☺️

Went to seville square for Pensacola Seafood Festival. Great location for this. The city does a great job managing traffic and pedestrians. Its a very cute green space close to a marina.

Nice park. Each year they get better with organizational efforts. It's great they bring in big companies. The bands for the crawfish festival were awesome,, especially Boukou Groove. Parking sucks, parking is not adequate, need more parking options.

Great place for a festival. Great area in Pensacola!

Jazzfest 2024 under the big Oaks! There are food trucks and a few vendors selling their art. Local High Schools played this morning, and did a great job! Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the various bands and genres.

Beautiful park. We hold an annual british car show there every year in April. Lots of shade under the live oak trees

For a "seafood" festival the seafood could/should be the main focus. The arts seem to take precedent. However, there are food vendors i just think its not the best Pensacola/gulf area has to offer.

I wish there was a zero star rating. The A/C was not working, roaches on the water fountain. Concession was closed by the county, and attractions were down. We had to go next door to Dollar General for a simple bottle of water. People should not have to pay full price for that especially for the cost of a ticket…

My son had so much fun, but I’d be way more likely to come back if they actually enforced the age limit in the toddler zone. There was a constant flow of older kids running through and doing flips, not paying attention to the little kids around them. I don’t blame the kids because they’re not going to look at the rules but if there was a staff member attending the area and not letting the big kids in, that would make the toddler zone so much more enjoyable. What’s the point of a toddler zone if it’s not enforced??

I have been a member for about 2 months now. I have a 10 year old I am 35 weeks both have fun jumping around. The staff is friendly they let the kids be kids but do blow their whistles if things get outta hand.

This place sucks! So... let me get this right. I was in line, about to get tickets for my 7 year old. I was told by the 1st associate they stopped selling tickets at 7.00 p.m. I was then asked if we'd been here within the last 6 months? I answered yes. Why ask me that IF you only follow thay up with her information has expired and we need to fill out the QR Code again? All the while, my daughter is meeting kids, making friends and wanting to play. We fill out the QR information, get BACK in line, only to be told NO, we can't allow you in because we STOP selling general tickets an hour and a 1/2 before closing? Ummmmm get BETTER "LieZone." I was told I was good until 7.00 p.m. It 6.44 p.m. when we were told this from associate no.1. Make sure moving forward the people you allow to work in this establishment are trained up, properly developed and all on the same page. It is now 6.54 p.m. They do not close until "8.00 p.m." The right thing to do instead of sending my 7 year old out in tears would have been to allow us entry and her to play. I'm a Regional Manager amd have been for 14 of my 21 years. We close at 6 p.m., but guess what... if consumers are at our establishment, we welcome them in because it's an opportunity to establish relationships and build rapport. Get BETTER 'LieZone.' And kudos for upsetting a damn 7 year old child. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Went for a birthday party. Had six kids follow my kid in restroom. I walked in on them before a fight could start .looks to be the kids that are allowed to get away with bullying others. I saw employee stop kid from trying to fight in dodge ball. He was shoved by kid and allowed to stay.

The General Manager Jennifer is Extremely Nasty and condescending. I took my Son to Kids Empire instead. It’s Cleaner, Cheaper and BETTER STAFF. I expected nothing less from someone in their 40’s working somewhere that requires a High School Diploma and it’s Equivalent! I will be calling Corporate.

Fun place for kids. Enjoyed every minute watching my son have fun with his friends. They have plenty of staff to keep a watch on the kids in every section, to make sure they are safe and following the rules the best they can. Stays very busy. Definitely a fun place for your kids to go and have a great time. Staff here are great. The price is a little high. You have to sign a waiver agreement before any children can go in the areas.

Amazing museum! We went on a Friday morning with our 2 ½-year-old and he had the best time exploring the exhibits, climbing into planes, and flipping all the cockpit switches. His favorites were the simulator at the start and sitting in the aircraft. Admission is free, which makes it even better! There was a graduation going on during our visit but it didn’t affect our experience at all. Perfect spot for families — highly recommend!

We were all very happy 😊 and impressed with our visit. To see these historic flying machines up close like this is awesome. We opted to take the guided tour and I highly recommend that. Our guide was excellent, but I'm confident all of them are since it's likely they are all experienced pilots and vets. Did I mention this aviation museum is FREE? We spent 3 hours in there, but you could easily spend the day.

It’s wonderful! Huge!! There is a lot to see and learn. Admission is free! The tours are free! I’m guessing but I’m pretty sure they are veterans and they live to talk about their experiences in the military. They do suggest a $10 donation. We used google maps and ended up at the wrong gate. The museum is on base (so be sure all adults have real id) but the guard gave us the actual address and turned around. There is a cafe inside and a snack area which are purchased. There are flight simulators which are also for purchase. One is pretty tame but the others are pretty intense. It’s a bit pricy but worth it especially considering the money goes to running the museum. We visited both days of our weekend stay in Pensacola. If you have a pilot in your circle they would be enthralled. I highly recommend you visit!

The National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is nothing short of spectacular — an absolute must-visit for anyone even remotely interested in aviation, history, or just looking for an unforgettable family outing. The sheer number of aircraft on display is mind-blowing. From early biplanes to jet fighters and iconic aircraft spanning every major conflict — WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and beyond — the collection is incredibly comprehensive and beautifully presented. It's a powerful visual journey through the evolution of naval aviation and military history. What really impressed us was how family-friendly the entire experience was. There are interactive areas where kids can climb into cockpit cutouts, play, and get hands-on in a way that sparks real excitement and curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll see wide-eyed kids pretending to be pilots while parents and grandparents marvel at the historical significance of the aircraft around them. The museum itself is massive — easily an all-day affair if you want to take in everything it has to offer, and honestly, it’s well worth the time. The layout is great, the exhibits are immersive, and there's something for every age and interest level. Whether you're a history buff, a family looking for an engaging day trip, or someone who simply loves incredible machines and the stories behind them, the National Naval Aviation Museum delivers on all fronts. We'll definitely be back!

Adults need Real ID to enter at gate. Plan on 4-5 hours to see everything. Hangar 1 closes at 3:30. The rest of the museum is open until 4pm on weekdays. The gulf’s tallest light house is also on base. Lots to see. Well done.

Absolutely amazing experience. We went on a Wednesday and watched the Blue Angels practice/autograph session, and then explored the museum afterwards. If you enjoy and respect aviation as well as the military history of our country, highly recommend. We did not have the time to do it but we could have spent all day here.

Nice collection of vintage aircrafts. Several War Planes. Nice collection on engines. They also offer guided tour. Entry is free. There's a movie show which you can purchase and also a simulator ride which you can purchase. Do not miss it if you are near Pensacola. It's home of Blue Angels.

We did the sunset and full moon tour of the lighthouse and it was fantastic! Though it said sold out online, we were able to call and see if there had been cancellations the day of the tour and get in! We had a small group. Cheryl led an interesting tour around the keepers quarters and museum for us while Wanda provided a wealth of information at the top of the lighthouse. The view was magnificent. We had a gorgeous sunset and though the full moon was blocked by clouds, Wanda told us some local stories while we waited for the moon to come above the clouds. This lighthouse is so well maintained and full of history. The view is amazing. The staff was so great and we’re so thankful we got this experience!

This was a nice place to visit and see, especially for those who like history. The museum has a lot of information about how the lighthouse was maintained in the past. The admission price was a bit steep in my opinion (I think $9.50/person for those that aren’t seniors/military).

Have to go onto the Navy base to get to the lighthouse. Once you get there the old light keepers house and grounds are a museum with lots of info and even a reading room to learn about lighthouses. After 177 steps the view is beautiful including the beach and naval airstrip where the blue angels are.

A must visit when in or around Pensacola. The view from the lighthouse is spectacular! It's even better if you happen to catch the Navy's Blue Angels practicing. The Blue Angels and Aviation Museum are directly across from the lighthouse.

Pretty cool lighthouse that let's you climb all the way to the top. It actually still works and is moving while you are up there. Their is a museum on-site of how the light keeper lived and worked on a day to day basis. Its just under $10 a person.

This was an awesome place to visit. The light house staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. Never enjoyed a gift shop near as much as the one attached to this tour.

Arrive early to avoid delays entering the navy territory. Enter Pensacola West, not on the other side. We climbed the 177 steps to the top and saw panoramic views of the Gulf Coast, Pensacola Bay, and the historic naval air station. It's a must-visit landmark for anyone exploring the Pensacola area. Everything g can be seen within 90 minutes.

Informative, and fun way to get a bit of walking in! The docent at the visitor center was welcoming and knowledgeable. He got us oriented and on our way quickly. Our kids are 6 and 2 and all steps/walking paths are good for them. The exterior had a lot of open space keep the 2 year old happy for running and exploring. We'll be back for sure.

We visited Fort Barrancas about 3 weeks ago because it is not only a beautiful historic place to visit but also a great place to take amazing pictures. We took my son there for senior pictures. These images are just the quick snaps I was able to get while the photographer was doing her thing. You will see my son had a little fun at the cannon posing as Captain Morgan lol. On a side note, my husband & I came here to take engagement photos back in 2004 & they turned out amazing as well. Another note I should mention is before going, is to check their hours of operation bc we showed up just before closing so we had to rush. Also, you can schedule a tour & get great historical info from the knowledgeable staff that works there as well. What a great city we live in to be able to be transported back in time for just a little while & slow down for a change even if it is just for an hour or two. I enjoyed the serenity of it all & didn't want to leave.

Small but very well done, the National Park Service has done a bang up job making an old fort into a beautiful area to wander, enjoy the sunshine, wander the long corridors inside the fortifications, and receive a good education about how European conflicts as well as the American Civil War were part of the history of this area. Because of the beautiful open areas and underground tunnels, there's a bit for everyone, including those who like to watch jets and Navy trainer aircraft fly by. If you like history, be sure to spend time to read the various boards in the small but we'll organized visitor center.

As you might know by now, I love going to visit historic forts. This is inside the Naval Air Station. This one is an amazing fort, from its location to the role it played in history. I would say this is a must fort to visit. I would recommend you watch the 12-minute video they have available before you had out to see this historic place. Everything you will see will have a meaning, and you will then begin to imagine how things happened. What a beauty of a place. You really need to take some time when you are there. This is a place where you can't rush it. If you like these types of historic places, you will enjoy everything from the walls to the hallways to the design. I Know I am uploading pictures that might cause you to wonder why those pictures. Well, when you go there, you will say, oh I see why. I would come back here just because I think this is a cool place to visit.

Beautifully maintained fort that you can roam for hours if you choose. The history of this area is unique and worth learning about. Highly recommend stopping here and talking with the employees. The 10 minute video was a great introduction and the fort did not disappoint. Thanks for a wonderful stop on my vacation!

Another fantastic historic American fort to bring the family to. It's safe and has a lot of neat places to explore. Make sure everyone who's an adult brings an ID. It's inside the Naval Base.

Fantastic National Park location. You can explore most of this fort on your own and also get a great view of Fort Pickens across Pensacola Bay. The ranger tour is available on the weekends and is well worth it to learn the how the fort was constructed and its history. Highly recommend the Advanced Readout tour if you are more adventurous. This second site (not far from the visitor center) is only accessible with the ranger tour and takes you through the abandoned structure complete with dark passageways and potential encounters with bats, snakes and other local fauna. Not suitable for young children. The fort is located on the Naval Air Station, so you will need to pass through a checkpoint and show ID to get to the fort. There is limited RV parking at the visitor center, so you may want to call ahead and ensure that there is space to park if you are driving a larger rig. The Junior Ranger program for this site is part of the larger Gulf Islands National Seashore booklet, but there are a couple of activities based on exploring the fort or walking on the .5 mile woodland nature trail near the visitor center.

Party of my son’s bachelor party was here. The employees were awesome! Very nice and super helpful! They take time to show you how to throw and why it works that way. Celebrated with us when we got a bullseye! They also offer a rage room! Highly recommend. They are currently adding a kitchen for something a little more than snacks. We had a great time!

We celebrated two birthdays at Grizzly Axes — my son’s 8th and my husband’s 45th — and it couldn’t have been a better experience! We had family visiting from St. Croix and a full mix of ages: little kids, teens, young adults, middle-aged folks, and even senior citizens. The staff was incredibly accommodating, patient, and kind. Mr. Grizz (the owner) went above and beyond with our group. He personally introduced himself, shared fun stories about axe-throwing champions, and even created contests to make it extra exciting. He somehow convinced our family matriarch — who swore she wouldn’t participate — to give it a try… and she turned out to be a natural! The place was spotless, well-organized, and full of energy. Every single one of us left smiling. If you’re looking for something unique, family-friendly, and just plain fun, Grizzly Axes is the place.

Went with my two friends and we had a great time. Tia & Nick were a lot of fun and made sure we had a great time and gave us a mini lesson with the ax throwing and hooked us up for the range room. Great group of employees here. They definitely know how to make your experience worth it. Thanks guys!

I have never thrown axes before, but this was such a thrilling activity! All the workers were so personable and reassuring! Jenny even organized fun games for us and checked on us throughout the night while making sure we were being safe. Honestly, any of the staff would be capable of safety while making sure you have a great visit! Def one of the coolest spots in Pensacola. Thanks so much Jenny!!!! Honorary picture of the boyfriend making 4 axes in one throw since Zac challenged him to try it! 🤣

We absolutely had a blast! The owner papa grizzly, really made us feel welcomed and helped show us how to do everything. The employees were very friendly. We will definitely be back soon!

I tried it for the first time and it was a lot of fun. The owner Papa Grizz is very friendly. He let me use his personal axe and I hit the bull’s eye by the end of the evening. I’ll be definitely back.

My family took my middle son and I here for our birthdays cause they're only 2 days apart and I have to say that it was one of the best birthdays that I have had. Everyone there was so nice and helpful. We had family in from out of country that we only get to see every few years so it was really special to have such a great time at such a great place. Papa Grizz came by and hung out with us for most of the night and I have to say he is the best owner of any business that I have ever been to! So I want to give a very big shout out to Papa Grizz and say thank you for a great night that none of us will ever forget! We will definitely be back!!!

You have to stop here if you are visiting going to Pensacola Beach with kids. Entire staff is very friendly from the window to buy tickets, to the bar tender, the girls on the ropes course and the guys running the go karts, especially Walt. Walt was great with adults and kids! We stopped by on 8/4. The girls on the ropes were very engaging and making jokes with us. The guys running the go karts were so chill and engaging with customers. The entire staff made this a 5 star experience. My 14yo loved everything they had to offer. I didn’t see 1 kid unhappy on the 3 story ropes course and the go karts. The food and drinks were better than a few places nearby (ie Senor Frogs). We purchased a 4 hours pass on 8/3, which I highly recommend to maximize the fun. A storm blew in about 5 minutes later. They gave us a rain check for the next night. No pushback or anything. Seriously, they provide exceptional customer service. The atmosphere and offerings are perfect for a family with little kids and teenagers.

By far the best food on the beach. We went here as a backup option and we didn’t regret it. The set up is fun that you have options for the kids to play, adults to enjoy a drink and plenty of TV options to watch sports. They also have a lot events that going on. As for the food, The portion size is great and the food was served hot and fresh. Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked with great seasoning. The burger was seasoned well and cooked fantastic with great fries. The chips and salsa kicked off with a bang with fresh hot chips and a very good salsa. The manager was the one who served us while also making the food and he killed it. Just an overall incredible place and highly recommend it.

Brought my kids and friends here for the adventure area. We paid 50.00 per person to have access to the zip line, splash pad and go carts. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We didn't purchase any food or drinks while here. Parking is kinda horrible though. Very tight spaces and if 1 person parks where they are not supposed to, it'll block in dozens of people.

Best service ever! What a team and Dylan is the coach always pumping up the crew when the place is packed. Was in the industry for 20 year in my youth and this kind of leadership and enthusiasm is what makes a great place. Not to mention Dylan makes the best margaritas I’ve ever had!

We had a great waitress! She told us what was good to eat and suggested things we could do in the area. Food was good and beer was cold (but no draft) My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and I had Mahi the kids got pizza and pretzel bites and a ceasar wrap. Food was delicious and the bay was beautiful to look at during dinner!

My goodness! What a spectacular day my Babies had yesterday at Laguna's ❤️ Thanks so much for the AMAZING CREW that made the day so great! Barney is a great host and caretaker of guests! Casper and Jason were amazing helping my babies be brave on the zip! And I can't leave out the coolest bartender Dylan! There's another little sweetheart that I didn't get her name helping with the kids too. Like I said, all around AMAZING DAY!!!!!

Go karts were super fun. My husband and I had a fun date here. Good price for go karts and you get a good amount of time for it! Nice track right by the water.

I went for the African-American heritage exhibit and was very impressed with how much history was covered in such few posters. Franscine Mathis was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about history. I recommend going to see the exhibit if you are a fan of history.

Great stop! There were some informative stories about local history. The facility was clean and spacious and had plenty of photography to enjoy.

The Voices museum is a one of the best museums to learn about Pensacola and its history, due to their unique approach to explain culture through storytelling. I highly recommend going.

Went for a birthday. Kids had fun. Good open space. Fun activities for the little ones. Lots of historical fun facts.

Free excellent exhibits...great way to beat the heat. Check website for hours open.

This place is wonderful! When downtown this is a sweet museum to stop by and visit!

Super friendly and helpful staff!!! I never knew this place was here. Definitely worth checking out!!

My dogs and I love to come here to this dog park.It is always nice and clean. Friendly people with friendly dogs. I drive all the way from birmingham because my dogs enjoy the leash free beach so much.

It's a nice park alongside bay, very clean and scenic. it's good for community gatherings and celebrations for kids.

I love this park! It is a walk away and has two different dog parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, work out area and lots of trails. Add in boat ramps, senior center and a new community center and it is amazing. Only big downer is the water quality of the Bayou. The Dog Beach would be so much better if you didn’t have to worry about your dog getting sick from the water.

My dogs had so much fun here! It was a nice beach and clean. There's a house station where you can spray off and bowls for water. There are two gazebos with benches for people to sit. The is a very nice bathroom facility just outside the gate as well. Overall a fun time.

The park was really nice. There are picnic tables along the water. They have bathrooms for all and also a boat dock. Also a dock out over the water for fishing or just enjoying a stroll.

Great park in general. It is nice over looking the water. Good things to play for the children, to take your dog to run around dry or wet where they can play on the water. It's nice that they have things for the kids to run around with. But I think it would be nice to get overhaul and fix this park. People can reserve a spot for tables for pinics or parties. Plenty of parking spaces. Great place to launch your boat. It's a nice park and I think it could use a facelift from over the years of neglect. Hopefully when this place gets renovated, they will replace some of the play area.

This park was awesome! While visiting the area we came here several times with our pups. There was a dog friendly beach along with other fenced in dog areas. Their was a big walking path, tennis courts and a workout area. We had a great workout after walking the dogs. Plenty of parking. Restrooms were outside of the community building.

Recently remodeled and looks great! New games, mostly all working at the time we went. Very small trampoline area and there is a height limit, it is not for our big kids. The Food was great, the service was great, staff was friendly. The establishment was very clean considering it is a place for children.

After attending a birthday party at the "cousin" business Monkey Joe, in Georgia .. this place is hands down better. The building was neat clean and well-maintained. The food was pretty good surprisingly. I liked the way it worked. The child receives a plastic card and all coupons the child earns are stored on the card. I liked the ability to set the card to allow the child to play as many games for a pre-determined amount of time. Antonio, or Tony...is a great employee as he was so patient with me, and the children. This place was so impressive, and my children had so much fun we went back the next day.

Took my kids my son's 5th birthday he said that's where he wanted to go therefore we took him he and his brother had an absolute blast kids can never get enough of Chuck-E lol

11/10- This was my first time at this location and I was really impressed. It is located near the highway and hospital 🏥 Great place for this location. Walked in and was greeted by the staff. Definitely was expensive spent $175 for 5 people ( pizza 🍕, game cards, & drinks, & wings). Expect to pay 💰 for your enjoyment. I would say it was clean 🧼 until the crowd started rolling in and staff got behind on cleaning. A few dirty tables and trash was overflowing. Games was working well. The family did enjoy their time playing and food was good. 😊 I highly recommend definitely good for ages 3- 10.

Chuck E. Cheese is a place where you take your kid to have fun ,Eat play great bathroom always clean it has a baby diaper changing station which is great because I have a toddler staff is wonderful always cleaning the games for children safety….

The games are not fun, my 6 year old ran out of things to do. It was $50 for me and my kid to play for 45 minutes. Better games and fun at Fast Eddie's

About what you would expect for a Chuck e Cheese now a days. Good value if you get their monthly pass which allows a lot of time on the video games and gives a discount on the food. Pretty loud and busy, not a great place for adults to relax. They could do a better job checking adults when the leave with kids using the stamp system.

Located on the boardwalk. Best frozen grown up drinks on the beach. Love their bushwhacker! Bartenders are friendly. Line music all the time with a dance floor. Open air. On the beach. Free parking lot, but it is sometimes difficult to find a parking spot on weekends. A must see if you are in Pensacola.

I came to visit bamboo Willy's after Labor Day 2025. I came around lunch time and the place was super chill. The bartender was absolutely wonderful and she was very attentive. Made sure I had what I needed and checked on me as often as I would prefer with not too much hassle. They're smoothie machine drinks are pretty good but can come across the little sweet. But don't fret they do have regular beers and other drinks available as they do have a full bar. An absolute must if you're walking around the boardwalk area in Pensacola you can take these drinks to go! You heard that correct you can take them to go in their styrofoam cups.

Great live music. And tasty Margaritas. Because it's an open air beach bar I had to make sure that I was unwind from smokers. Otherwise it was enjoyable.

This place is the perfect beach hangout! Located right on the sand, it offers stunning ocean views, live music that sets the perfect vibe, and drinks in just about every flavor you can imagine. Whether you’re sipping something fruity or just soaking in the music and sea breeze, it’s an amazing spot to relax and enjoy the beach life. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great place to hang out and enjoy a Bushwhacker while walking around the beach

I just took in the atmosphere while walking by. They had an amazing 80s band there. It was too awesome!!!

Typical Mixed Drink Bar. OK, live music. Nice view.

Tried to have fun, but couldn't. The guy next to me and my fiance didn't really like us being in the lane next to him. He said he couldn't focus because we were in that lane. For example, I happened to be bowling at the same time as him. He would tell me to back up so he could focus. He would also say that my fiance and I couldn't bowl while he was bowling. The food was good, but the chili was a little suspicious. Overall, I tried to have a good time but just couldn't.

Went for a birthday party, and the kids had a blast. The music wasn't too loud, which was nice, but we had to walk through another birthday party on lanes 3&4 to get to ours on lanes 1&2. Made me feel kinda awkward, but wasn't a huge deal.

I was impressed at the cleanliness and great atmosphere! It was my first time there and I will definitely go again.

Pretty fun place to go lanes are oiled very very well so keep that in mind if you actually know how to bowl music wasn't too loud good selection of Music good crowd of people pretty great place to take your kids and family a lot of the stuff was already closed not quite sure why but the only drawback I would have about this place is it is pricey for what it is bowling shouldn't cost 50 60 $70 to take your family and have a good time I ran at 10 million a year large business that one of our main profits came from bowling and I will not speak the name of this large company but they're higher on prices at Cordova Lanes then they were at this big corporate chain other than that I would say that it's a pretty decent place and a good place to go

First time going to this bowling alley and while the other patrons were great, staff (Shana?) was not. Not only did our party get yelled (from the desk) at because the lane malfunctioned but then my child who was 12 years old got screamed at from the front desk that he can’t use the kids ball because it’s for kids. She stated that if he touches that ball, she will turn our game off. When I asked what the age range was for the kids balls she said there is no range, but he can’t use the kids balls…then threatened to call the police!! This is crazy as a 12 year old child should be able to use a “kids” ball. I immediately removed my family and we will not be back!!!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!!!! Or your family!!!

Our Valentines' bowling party was so much fun! I was throwing it for @ 15 fabulous ladies. What a cost-effective way to throw a fun, active party! Mgr. Tim, Donna at snack bar, Carolyn on the 🎳 alleys & Steve made sure we were taken great care! TY so very much

It's a bowling alley. Not much else to say. The guy at the front counter was kinda grumpy and told us when we asked for a lighter ball that it was for little kids, not adults. It was very packed and we had to wait 10 minutes but not that bad. The problem was when the resetting machine kept either getting stuck, knocking down pins, or just breaking. We had to press the reset button 3 times and get a worker to help us. The place is definitely outdated. Overall, nothing special but a good place to go bowling I guess.

My wife and I were blessed to enjoy a Parasail ride this week with Radical Rides. I was a little worried, as my wife struggles with her balance and walks with a cane, but the Captain and First Officer were gracious and got her on the boat safely and then making sure she was well cared for during our ride. It might be the high point of our trip and we’re both glad we did it.

Great experience! They were absolutely wonderful. We're open with how it would all go. I was nervous about the safety aspec of it. But they explained everything very well and it was a wonderful experience.

The girls enjoyed their experience! The guys on the boat were amazing! I wish it was done out in the clear water and not in the bay. The media package downloaded very blurry.

First timers! We had a great time and felt totally safe in the hands of our captain and his first mate. I can’t remember names, but one was bearded and the other had a ponytail. They were both super professional, attentive, and obviously concerned with making sure we had a great first time. We went up and came down smoothly, no issues. I was super nervous, but glad I did it. Our group opted not to “dip,” but my husband’s crew got “dipped”, which means as you’re coming down, they’ll drop you in just to dip you up and then bring you on board. It was neat! You go about 400ft up, and I personally don’t like heights but it’s a gradual climb and if you can just lean back and breathe, the nerves do fade. We had a 9:00am reservation and got there 30 minutes early. Our group was out on the water by 9:10 and the whole trip was about 45 minutes- 1 hour. They have a whole system of while one group is up, another is getting prepped. You’re only up for about ten minutes per group. If you go with Radical Rides, you’ll be well taken care of!

This place was perfect. The guys are all cool, friendly, down to earth, professional and easy to look at 😁😁 They make sure that you get a good length of ride time. We went twice yesterday. The 2nd time we were the only ones on the boat. It was so beautiful and peaceful. My place of happiness! Thanks guys!

It was a great experience! We really enjoyed riding the jet skis. I recommend it. Another memory to add to our treasure trove for our vacation in Pensacola.

Our parasailing experience was incredible! The crew was friendly, professional, and made us feel completely safe from start to finish. The takeoff was smooth, and once we were up in the air, the view was absolutely breathtaking. It was such a thrilling and unforgettable adventure. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for something exciting and fun!

An amazing experience! The staff made it feel as if we were a member of the crew and was a very comfortable environment. I would choose this company over the corporate environment up the street any day! We will be back for more adventures!

Great family business.. welcoming… knowledgeable—took us to 2 sites where dolphins were playing… visited sand island for photos. Fun family time!

Everyone interested in Parasailing needs to fo meet Bob. These people were so nice and friendly they made the whole boat ride and parasailing so worth it. Would recommend for families as well there were 2 kiddos on the boat with us and had a great experience.

It was my daughter’s very first time parasailing and they made her feel comfortable, put her anxiety to ease. She said she can’t wait to do it again! We will see you guys next summer!

As always, it was lovely. It was my third time parasailing, 2nd time with this company. The deck hands are paid in tips, which are customarily 15-25%. Nice, professional guys, worth every penny :)

The staff and crew were professional, courteous and very friendly. They patiently answered our question, which were plenty. The overall experience was fantastic. We will definitely book with them next time we visit.

Had a fantastic parasailing ride! The guides were confident and made me feel safe the whole time I was on the boat and in the air! Definitely coming back again next year!

We had my son’s birthday party here on March 1st. It was fine, not great but not horrible. However, apparently they were having an issue with their card processing system so when they ran my card it didn’t charge my account. Almost 3 months later, they charged my card $265 with absolutely no warning. When I called to ask about it, I was told that it had affected 100’s of customers and the owner/manager made the decision to not warn people about this and to run the cards with no notice.

Is a good place to take your kids and you do not feel like being in the heat. They have different bounce houses, the kids had a blast.

Bring socks. It’s SUPER small. Not bad for super small kids, I don’t think I’d bring older ones here. Staff has been friendly and attentive to the children. The bathrooms were super dirty and the place could probably use a good deep clean. I like that the play is unlimited for the $12. They don’t charge the adults. Looks like they have one small party room. Tried to get a pizza but they were closing a party and there was no one in the kitchen. Slushy was pretty melted.

Nice place to take the kids for fun! Time was unlimited. They offer snacks, pizza, and drinks. There is a section for smaller kids but its not locked in or fully gated and no one monitors- it's the parents job. The big kids have about 5 different bounce houses to choose from, outside of the small kid area. Don't forget your socks!

The reviews about the floors are accurate, they could be cleaner. However, there aren't many insoor be used for small children at the cost of $15.00. Super friendly and helpful staff willing to answer questions and assist in any way. They have passed for various lengths and have themes for birthday parties. We will make return visits, especially on rainy or excessively hot days. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

This place is a fun place for the kids to play especially on a hot day. However this place needs some updating desperately! The video game controllers barely work. 1 of the 4 tvs doesn't have a game hooked up to it anymore. There are tiles to the tile floorin the girls bathroom that are missing or broken. The entire place needs to be repainted including the bathrooms. Pieces of the foam tile floor all throughout the play area are bubbled and torn that could cause someone to fall. Air hockey pucks need to be replaced. It is a good place but it needs serious attention and work considering it cost $17 a child. The young ladies that work there are great

A true gem for kids actually just for kids. No alcohol or adult related activity. Kids love to move and jump this is a great place for a kid to be a kid. Indoors with no other distractions just for the kids. this place is a true blessing for the kids of Pensacola.

Loved my experience here today! Nice shaded place so ok to go when it's HOT outside. There's 20 or so large enclosures to look at birds. Mostly owls, hawks, eagles, and vultures. Took my friend and I about 20 minutes to walk through and enjoy the views. There's even a lake with a pier at the end to look at turtles. Suggested donation is $3 but we dropped in a little more. Happy to pay it for this neat spot!

My daughter and I found an injured bird in our driveway. I called to let them know we were on our way from a 45 min drive and they were going to be close to closing. She said just call if we were going to be late and they would wait. We made it there 5 mins before. Someone greeted us at the door and took it inside. It was a very pleasant experience. They even had owls outside in an enclosure that we had the pleasure of seeing.

I took my 14 and 12-year-old grandchildren today and they both enjoyed it. We donated some items from the wish list and the employee that greeted us was very sweet. I like that there are some "photo opp" areas and picnic tables in a nice shaded area on the premises.

This is such a hidden gem. They have different types of birds such as owls, vultures and bald eagles. I enjoyed it because they provide aide to helpless and injured wildlife. Would definitely go back again. The ladies that work there are so sweet and awnsers all questions

These people are absolutely amazing & are helping our local wildlife in huge ways every single day!

Wonderful place! Some really big hearts dedicated to saving wildlife here. When you arrive here you will notice immediately that everything thing they do is focused on nurturing nature and the critters who not only are brought there for treatment, but to the wildlife who live outside on the property. Everything is geared toward supporting nature. It’s lovely!

Found a baby squirrel maybe 4 days old. they recieved it with open arms . Definitely looking good to give a donation and find out about volunteering soon.

Such a neat little park! Came here to test out my new 25mm prime lens.

The park is along the bay waters. It is small and no equipment for kids to play on. It has shade and places to sit. You can watch the boats at dock. It's a quiet place to meditate or just sit. Not a place the kids would enjoy.

Pensacola Crawfish Festival was awesome. Great location for most anything.

Bartrum Park is a cute little park located in Downtown Pensacola. Although the park was well manicured; the energy was a little unsettling. Kind of creepy.

Peaceful and pleasant, friends brought chairs, we walked and enjoyed the view. It's just the maintenance that had me giving 3 stars. It hasn't been mowed and the small black ants were awful as they were last week.

Wanted to walk the dog. Pretty worked over park. Not much to walk around. Looked like some folks were camping in their cars.

There has been someone noticeably living in their van here for several months. There have also been several others who sleep on the benches. It makes it very uncomfortable to visit this place.

Went first time tonight with some friends, must say im impressed. Had a great time, played a lot of games, only spent around 30$ for 2 solid hours of fun. Atmosphere is nostalgic like a boss, especially being a Tron fan like i am. Great place, keep up the good work Mr. Owner, places like this need to exist!

Unique establishment that doesn’t look like much on the outside but is worth a stop. They do not have liquor but a wine based liquor alternative that I found to be pretty good in mixed drinks. They have a decent selection of games including pinball, retro games like Digdug, and things like air hockey. Most games are ¢50-¢75 to play. Definitely a worthwhile stop on a date night!

One of my favorite spots in Pensacola. Kid friendly early on and turns into a more bustling bar with live music and frequent events. Definitely worth checking out if you love classic video games and good times.

So much fun! Bartender was so nice and the place is kept super clean too! Tons of games!

We love a good arcade, and this was a great arcade for the whole family. There was a little bit of everything from the old school arcade games to the traditional games like pool, air hockey, and skee ball. There was a great selection of pinball games to choose from. It was a great place to unwind in a laid back atmosphere with some good drinks. Thanks B for some great drink recommendations.

The Grid is a real 80s Arcade experience. They have a lot of great games that cost mainly 25c for one play session, some other games cost 50c and $1 but overall it’s a fun cheap experience. They accept card and Apple Pay for their token machine and you get a discount for using cash. I highly recommend giving this place a try, it’s also family friendly from all day on Sunday and Tuesday-Saturday from open-9pm. For adult they offer beer and then they have soda and chips for kids. The owner is a really cool dude and so is his employees, they also are planning on expanding the building. I would give this place 10 stars if I could!

Very nice place. Did not know it even existed. Will be going back. Had a lot of fun. Bathrooms, bar, drinks for the kids. Lots of fun. Serve some nacho. Lol thought I hit the 5 star. Sorry for not looking up to see I missed the 5th star.

Wonderful place to buy one of a kind art. Top notch facilities to create your own masterpieces!

Wonderfully interesting and fun. I felt safe working with the glass Shaping. The instructor was patient and fun . I would do this again

Taking a Ceramics class with my sister. This place is amazing! Super knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. What a great bunch of people. The teacher is extremely patient and kind. We are a handful and they've got what it takes!

Hot glass and cold brews is a great time. This is a really fun place with some beautiful art. It's great that Pensacola has this!

We took a weekend class to blow our own Christmas ornament. It was a lot of fun and reasonably priced. Keith walked us through the whole process and answered any questions we had. The facility is well kept and everyone there was friendly.

This was my first time attending and I've always wanted to go! Not knowing what to expect, I was truly amazed at the quality of the quantity! The set up was so well thought out and everyone was so enthusiastic and helpful. I could easily have come home with 3 or 4 of them, but I chose the first one I picked up which is what I would call traditional. I hope to attend yearly now and next year I hope to get at least 2 of these beauties!

Awsome glass blowing class great instructor and very inexpensive for what you go home with.

What a fun experience! We did all 3 rooms, I would recommend any of them. Staff was awesome, this was entertaining. A one of a kind experience.

We had an awesome experience doing the pirate escape room! Andy was a great game master and we will definitely be back to try out the new changes they’ve made to the other escape rooms!

We had so much fun. Andy was so helpful and fun. Me and my kids had a blast. Would totally recommend it. I was thrilled that we escaped with 20 seconds left. It was interesting how we all worked together

We had so much fun! My husband and I had some time before our flight home and this was our first time doing an escape room. Andy the manager was very nice and kept our luggage safe while we "tried to escape the asylum." LOL! We really enjoyed it! Andy was really fun and really made the experience memorable! We technically did not escape the asylum but still had fun! It was also private and a perfect COVID social distancing activity! Thanks again, Andy and Escape Zone 60!

We had a great time here! Did the jail break room which was one of the harder ones. It was several people’s first time so we started off slow. The clues were fun and challenging! We only needed a few more minutes to escape. Would highly recommended!

Sounded great, but we got stood up by the game master. No one was around at the reserved time. It's probably a good idea to call them 30 minutes out and make sure they have staff on site. Escape on Palafox seemed fully staffed and both the museum robbery and doomsday rooms were challenging and fun.

My first escape room experience and I was not disappointed. Game master was very friendly and helped when needed. Did the asylum and made it out!

This beach is happening its got everything great food drinks shopping and if course a beautiful beach its so much fun here never bored

This place is awesome great place to bring the kids I have been coming here for years maybe 57 years a long time I definitely recommend this place

This is a terrible, horrible, very bad no good place. You definitely shouldn’t ever go here, just leave it empty for me and the wife. It’s all sandy and serene with gently lapping water. I mean gross right? Sometimes you even are subjected to seeing dolphins which serves no real porpoise at all. Worse than that you can even have mimosas with your feet in the water while enjoying the sun. Trust me and stay away, if you do show up though clean up after yourself, pack in pack out.

Nice place good restaurant and picture opportunities parking is night mare if you're staying local rent a bike or have your hotel golf cart escort you to and from...

The perfect family friendly place to be! Beautiful calm beach making it the best place to float. Tiki bar up the beach, restaurants, ice cream, boardwalk shops and so much more. We locked up our ebikes on their bike racks and enjoyed the whole day.

I'm from Louisiana. My wife and I love to come here and visit! We've been several times. Beautiful family friendly beach, with lots of fun things to do...👌

Wonderful beach with peaceful waters and sits next to a jetski and mini sail boat rental business that pairs very well, the sands are also really great and the shallow water stretches far. I took pictures with my drone so you can get a better view of what the place looks like. Water always feels great!

This was by far the best tour we’ve had, our guide was very knowledgeable, kind, funny and helpful. She kept a very positive attitude despite the rain, and road work. We had a great time getting on and off the bus at different stops. She was amazing!

Leroy was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable of the city and its history and had U.S. laughing along the way.

Terry was an awesome tour guide. He said from the beginning his goal was to make all of us have fun. Well, he exceeded those expectations. He was very good at explaining where we were and what kind of haunting took place there. He was also very personable. The bus was cool especially having the tv screens so we could see the image of the place since the windows on the bus were not large. Overall, would highly recommend. Will probably do the hop on/off tour next time we are in Pensacola.

We went on both the hop on hop off tour and the haunted ghost and graveyard tour, and we LOVED IT. The hop on hop off tour features much of Pensacola’s unique down town attractions, as well as coupons! It’s a great bargain and has a great variety of options to get out and explore Pensacola. No matter what you like there’s a stop you’ll be interested in. The haunted graveyard tour is not for the faint of heart, it details much of the rich but dark history of the town. Our tour guide Duel was fantastic! He had a lot of knowledge on each location as well as personal experiences to share with us, it really brought the tour to life. If you’re looking to explore Pensacola and don’t know where to start the hop on hop off is my recommendation for sure!

This food tour was the absolute highlight of our trip! We had the pleasure of joining Sophie and Wesley for a culinary adventure—and wow, they delivered!!! Their deep understanding of local cuisine and restaurant culture made every stop feel intentional and special. They shared fascinating insights about ingredients, cooking techniques, and the history behind each dish. Every bite was a revelation—clearly curated by people who know great food. From hidden gems to iconic bites, their selections were spot-on and delicious, while focusing on supporting local. They were warm, engaging, and made everyone feel welcome. Their passion for food is contagious, and their storytelling added so much flavor to the tour. The handmade Pot-roast egg-roll and duck fries were unforgettable.” II’ll never forget the Smoked Ole fashion!! Have been on many great food tours with NEW YORK being a favorite and this tour was just as AMAZING!! If you’re a foodie, this tour is a must!!!!!

This was a short but great tour of the historic end of Pensacola. Our guide was very well educated and super helpful and friendly. The only complaint I have is that we were looking forward to the old bus style ride. We were directed to their van for the tour. I feel that we didn’t get to ride on the older one due to the extreme heat at that time. A must do while in Pensacola

This tour with GoRetro Tours was an absolute highlight of our trip to Pensacola! We experienced both the "Hop On Hop Off" tour and the "Ghost and Graveyard" tour, and they were fantastic. Our guide, Duel, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also made the entire experience fun and entertaining. ​As we zipped through downtown, we uncovered the expansive history of Pensacola in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Duel's passion for the city's past was contagious, and it's clear he loves what he does. The tours were so informative and inspiring that we’re now planning a return trip just to visit the many museums we learned about. If you're looking for a unique, informative, and genuinely enjoyable way to explore Pensacola, this is it. Don't miss out on this fantastic tour!

This cruise was amazing! captain Dan really went out of his day to make our day special! Picture of Captain Dan never losing a smile! He’s truly the best captain we could have asked for! He even got fancy and put on a Lei with us!

Here's The BAD: We scheduled our sunset cruise the day of my 30th Birthday, August 31st. Sadly, once we Walked, 15 minutes (from our hotel), to the location we were told by Mel & Tyler that the only thing available was a pontoon. Sorry, thats great and all, but we paid for a Floating Tiki Hut!!! Needless to say, if we didn't have the time or an open schedule the next evening I would've been pressed/pissed even more. You literally ask for our phone number for the reservation, so please. If things change, give your customers a COURTESY CALL. No call is going to be infuriating to the wrong person. Here's The Good: The Following Evening, we were warmly greeted by JEFFERY RIEGERT. This man is a gem. Polite, courteous, loves his sunset job of relaxing while showing his passangers around. He was a phenomenal tour guide and invited us to take plenty of pictures. Even taking pictures of him with his captains hat which I requested. He invited us to get waters out of the cooler or even ice. We made the most of it and will cast away again... Jeffery saved yall from a 2 star review. So please show him some love from us and your company. If you'd like 3 stars to go to 4 please send me a reply.

What an amazing time. Captain Tim was the greatest. Took my brother his grandson and my two teenage granddaughters. Captain Tim got in the water and played around with the grandson. Did some great snorkeling, got to see a dolphin swimming around our tiki boat. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

Captain Mel was a super chill tiki boat captain with a vibe that set the tone for the night!! He got us a one in a lifetime dolphin experience and let us enjoy our music the entire trip!!

The sunset cruise was the perfect way to unwind and relax after our first day on vacation. Mel was amazing! Aka- captain beef cake 🤣 He took song requests, and answered all of our questions as we cruised. We saw several dolphins and he made sure to stop and let us get our pictures and videos. Super laid back, and you can tell he loves what he does! We gave him a new nickname: swell Mel. We will be back, and we will be requesting him again! Also want to add- Pam in the office is amazing! She was so quick to respond to text/email inquiries. Overall this company is doing it right!

Melvin was amazing! We booked the sunset cruise and had an absolute blast! We highly recommend anyone taking this cruise! It’s BYOB and you can hook your music up through their speaker system. Melvin made our experience a memorable one! Do yourself a favor and book the cruise, you will not regret it!

We had an awesome time on the Tiki Cruise in Pensacola Beach! It was so relaxing, and the atmosphere was perfect. The captain went above and beyond, even taking extra time so we could see dolphins, which was such a highlight. Everything about the experience was laid-back and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be doing it again!
