Museum
Historic Pensacola Village is an 8.5-acre historic downtown area featuring 28 preserved buildings and museums spanning from colonial times to WWII. The City of Pensacola has planned improvements to enhance the safety and accessibility of Zaragoza Street in the village, including raised pedestrian crossings, ADA-compliant sidewalks, and curb extensions.
I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided tour at Historic Pensacola Village, and it was an incredible experience! The tour was well-structured and led by a knowledgeable guide Carly who brought the area's history to life with engaging stories and insights. We explored several beautifully restored buildings. Each site was filled with intriguing facts and artifacts that deepened my understanding of life in Pensacola during different time periods. Carly made the experience both informative and entertaining. I particularly appreciated how she encouraged questions and shared personal anecdotes, which made the tour feel more interactive. The village itself is beautifully maintained, offering a lovely setting for a stroll between stops. Overall, I highly recommend the guided tour of Historic Pensacola Village to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the rich history of the area. It’s a fantastic way to spend a few hours and truly appreciate the stories that shaped this beautiful region.

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.

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.
Lauri B — Google review
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.
François L — Google review
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.
Michael R — Google review
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!
Dr. R — Google review
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.

Palafox Street in Downtown Pensacola is a vibrant and charming destination that offers an array of experiences. From high-end boutiques and jewelers to the Palafox Farmers Market, there's always something happening on this renowned street. It has been consistently recognized as one of the best streets in America, boasting an impressive selection of shops, restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee shops, and historic architecture.
By sheer dumb luck my first visit to Pensacola was on Saturday when there's a multi-block crafts/food market. Lots of buskers, too. I began walking into town from the pier just to find breakfast, but I wound up spending the entire morning and early afternoon on Palafox! Lots of bike racks, benches for sitting, and most important --- TREE COVER!

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.

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??!!

Pensacola MESS Hall is an interactive science and engineering museum where visitors can conduct real experiments. It's a great place to inspire young minds to think creatively and stay curious. The museum offers engaging learning activities that help develop critical thinking in children, making subjects like math, engineering, and science more interesting.
A great place for kids to have a hands-on learning experience. There are creative stations/exhibits to explore subjects like science and engineering. Clean and well structured!

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!
Erin S — Google review
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!!

Hillary A — Google review
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!

If you're on the lookout for an unforgettable family adventure, the National Naval Aviation Museum is a destination that should be at the top of your list. This impressive museum stands as one of the largest in its field, showcasing over 150 meticulously restored military aircraft that tell the story of naval aviation's rich history spanning more than a century.
The National Naval Aviation Museum is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized—from parking and entry to exhibits and signage. The layout makes it easy to navigate, even with kids in tow, and there’s something fascinating around every corner. The facilities are spotless and clearly very well cared for. The aircraft displays are pristine, the restrooms were clean, and every area felt thoughtfully maintained. You can tell the staff and volunteers take real pride in keeping this place top-notch. It’s an educational, inspiring, and enjoyable experience for all ages. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a fun and meaningful outing, this museum is a must-visit. Five stars, hands down!
Jason N — Google review
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!
Marclyn K — Google review
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.
Salvatore I — Google review
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.

The Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, established around 1859, is a must-visit attraction offering guided tours and panoramic views from its top. The museum showcases local history and maritime heritage. Situated in the Pensacola Bay Area, visitors can indulge in various outdoor activities such as kayaking, birdwatching, and exploring the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
Very nice lighthouse. We have been to others but not as preserved as this and you can climb to the top. Sweet ladies in the gift shop and at the top of the platform. 360 amazing view and only 180 steps to climb. Well worth the stop.
Mark D — Google review
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.

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.

The theater accommodates more than 1600 people, and features Broadway shows, concerts, and classic films.
The Saenger Theatre in beautiful downtown Pensacola was the perfect setting for this amazing event... Seeing William Shatner in person was a real blast and the front row seats definitely made it even better and worth the extra cost... No matter the event, this theater is beautiful, historic, and a great place to be in. Get your tickets for whatever event you wish and experience this classic location.

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, 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

The Graffiti Bridge in Pensacola, Florida, is a 10-foot tall bridge that has become a prominent local landmark. Initially considered a crime, it now showcases the city's authentic spirit through ever-changing free art. Visitors can enjoy various designs ranging from nature-inspired to avant-garde. The bridge has also become a popular setting for photo shoots and other activities.
The ever changing artwork is so amazing. Love checking it every so often. Seeing what is there really is this city talking, in my eyes. No one covered up that Easter art for a good while. Heart warming.

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 💛

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.

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.

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.

The pier provides paid access for anglers seeking sailfish and the chance to spot dolphins while enjoying panoramic vistas.

The late fall and early winter months offer a peaceful and uncrowded beach experience, perfect for strolling along Pensacola Beach.
Fun spot to watch the locals fish or fish if you can and do. Also a great spot to walk out and watch the surfers. It was cold and raining the day I visited. Worth the effort and cost.

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. 🌊☀️

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.

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!

Laguna’s is a must stop every time I visit Pensacola. I recommend it every opportunity I get because of them. I really can’t praise enough. Unfortunately, there isn’t a New Orleans location but they have perfected southern hospitality and the food tastes like it’s straight from the Deep South!

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.

The area also features Fort Barrancas, an important site from the American Civil War era.
When you watch to the watertower at Pensacola beach and go right for about 20(?) minutes by car you will reach the national seashore! Nice dunes! Nature! Very white beaches! If you pay entry ( America the beautiful is accepted) you can park car on hard ground and have Restroom, Shadow seats… Jogging was to hard for me because the sand directly at the water was to deep… but a junger man was 🏃‍♂️😀 Never park your car side of street in the sand!!!

This is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen in our country. The white, white sugar sand, the dunes with the native plants protecting the native wildlife, is simply breathtaking. The water is pristinely clear, with turquoise/ azure gradations. I appreciated the fact that the beach was not overcrowded. I would have loved to spend much more time there. It is a natural spot, so there are no restrooms immediately available, so that is something to consider.

We stopped here mid-April on a Thursday afternoon and it was beautiful and sleepy. The water was beautiful but a bit chilly. If we’d had more time we would’ve went swimming. But the water was choppy-yellow flag. We visited 2 weeks ago and it was windy and the water cool. But it’s still one of the most beautiful and quite beaches along the Florida coast imo. And we drioe the whole way down to key west! Must less touristy that Destin.

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.

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.

Vince J. Whibbs Sr. Community Maritime Park is a picturesque bayside park in Pensacola, designed to encourage an outdoor lifestyle and wellness. It features an open-air amphitheater, a baseball park, and ample green space for various exhibitions and events such as music festivals. The park also supports local nonprofits through its Volunteer Parking Program during Blue Wahoos games.
I thought this spot was a little slice of awesomeness. NICE park to stroll with family, partner, alone. There are some interesting features; a "winding" sidewalk area, a playground that i even played on at 50yo! (I always play on playgrounds. It's fun!!) A neat pyramid style wall/ garden area. It's on the water so there is a beautiful view. You won't be disappointed if you visit!

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!

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!

If you're on the hunt for an exhilarating experience, look no further than Radical Rides! Nestled along the picturesque boardwalk of Pensacola Beach, this vibrant establishment has been a staple in the community for over 25 years. Here, you can dive into adventure by renting jet skis, kayaks, or waverunners and even try your hand at parasailing.
Such a fun family adventure! I took my 8 and 10 year old boys with me, my 8 year volunteered us first to go. We shared a boat with 2 other families a total of 10 people on board plus Captain Chandler and the muscle/photographer Jason. Captain Chandler and Jason were amazing! Not only were they professional but they were fun and playful with the kids on board. As we were heading back to the dock, my 10 year old’s hat flew off, Captain Chandler excitedly yelled they were going back for it! Charlene and Jason successfully rescued my son’s hat 😊. It was a fun side adventure. I highly recommend it!

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.

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!

Condor Sailing Adventures offers a unique and luxurious experience aboard the world-class 40-foot Condor racing trimaran, Dare II. Captain Kirk provides a fun and relaxing atmosphere for daily two-hour cruises at various times, allowing guests to enjoy the smooth sailing experience on Pensacola Bay. The trimaran is known for its stability, making it suitable even for those prone to seasickness.
Fabulous experience. Captain Kirk was very informative on safety regarding boarding, riding, and getting off of the sail boat. He was very knowledgeable and willing to share his experiences and expertise of sailing. The overall experience was both relaxing and educational. Captain Kirk was very thoughtful, from beginning to end, in making our experience genuine offering snacks and beverages to add additional comfort. The boat glided across the water and we had no bouts of sea sickness. We will be booking with him when we come back in August to share the experience with our kids.

Captain Kirk made our experience one of a kind! This was during our first family trip to the beach. We did not want to be in a crowded boat like the other dolphin cruises. This is something totally different! He is very attentive and knowledgeable, great with kids, our 4 year old was able to relax, take a nap, not be afraid of the boat rocking back and forth! It just glides through the water so smoothly. He also was very personable, and asked questions to get to know us. This is something we will always remember and will definitely do again when we return! A must do!

Amazing. Captain Kirk knows his thing. This was our second time sailing on the Condor. Both times were great. The first time the weather had been touch and go all week and Captain Kirk always communicated with us and still got us out on the water and we still had a great time. Three kids aged 6 to 11 really had a blast. We repeated our trip a year later and this time the weather was beautiful for a sunset cruise. The captain spent extra time and effort tracking down some dolphins which delighted the kids. He's always professional, informative and concerned with everybodies safety and happiness. We plan on coming back some day.

My husband and I sailed on the Condor for a sunset sail the last evening of our vacation and to say that it was the highlight of our vacation is an understatement! We had actually planned on sailing at the beginning of our vacation however the weather did not cooperate. I'm so glad we chose to reschedule and give it another shot. Captain Kirk was very knowledgeable about the boat and sailing in general and he made sure everyone was safe and comfortable at all times. We had actually brought a bottle of champagne for the evening and he chilled it for us and even got us some real wine glasses to drink out of instead of the plastic ones we brought. He even took time to take pictures to capture the moment for all of us. You can tell that he truly cares about making the experience special for his guests. The icing on the cake was not only did we see a beautiful sunset, but we saw a pod of dolphins that were feeding in the bay and they were practically swimming under our feet . If you are in the Pensacola area and you are looking for a great date night or just a memorable evening or day sail with friends I highly recommend sailing with Captain Kirk on the Condor.

What a way to celebrate my lifelong friend's birthday yesterday. So fun! Sailing on the Condor was an unforgettable experience for us both. From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Kirk made us feel both welcome and at ease, balancing professionalism with a genuine sense of fun. He went above and beyond even before the cruise. I was attempting a surprise box or two of baked goods from a bakery in Milton and he agreed to stash them (hide them) in the cabin prior to her arrival. I had so many questions with regard to ease of getting on the Condor and he assured me beforehand he'd help in any way. He was so helpful every step of the way. The trip was equal parts adventure and relaxation and we had a perfect weather day. When the sails went up and the Condor picked up speed, you could really feel the history of this racing yacht. It wasn’t just a sightseeing cruise—it felt like being part of a living piece of sailing history. At the same time, there were plenty of moments to simply sit back, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in the beautiful views. The trip made us want to learn more about sailing. What stood out most was Captain Kirk's assistance and enthusiasm. He encouraged us to get hands-on if we wanted. He explained how the sails worked and even let us take a turn at the helm. We felt like real sailors! We enjoyed the sound of Pensacola Bay and loved the feel of cutting through the water. It was way much smoother than we ever imagined. So fun letting our feet dangle in the water, too! The racing trimaran (Dare II) itself is a legend—fast, sleek, and surprisingly comfortable for such a high-performance vessel. The seats are super comfortable as well. Felt like a 'luxury' adventure. :) The Condor sailing experience, in my opinion, is perfect for anyone and/or any age looking for more than a typical excursion on the water. It blends the thrill of competitive sailing with the ease of a guided trip, making it memorable for seasoned sailors and first-timers alike. Highly recommend and can't wait to book again when my sister and brother-in-law are in town next. Thank you again for an unforgettable memory.

We originally were suppose to go out on the Condor August 15, but Captain Kirk was watching the weather and the clouds. He told us it wasn’t wise to go out and said to come back August 16. We did and it was beautiful weather. Also not as hot as the day before. We saw three dolphins and had a great time. We will go again when friends come down to visit. Highly recommend checking this out.

The most enjoyable sunset sail! My husband and I loved every second. The ride was so smooth. I typically get motion sickness and had zero! With only six seats, it was quiet, relaxing, and intimate. We saw multiple dolphins and Captain Kirk had the boat follow them and we got to watch them play for a while. Also- the sunset was incredible! Highly recommend this trip and Captain Kirk!

Nestled just a short drive from Pensacola Beach, the Gulf Breeze Zoo is an enchanting destination for animal lovers and families alike. Spanning 50 acres, this vibrant zoo boasts over 800 exotic animals, including majestic giraffes, playful rhinos, and fascinating hippos. Visitors can enjoy unique experiences like feeding the towering giraffes or participating in special animal encounters that allow for close interactions with some of these incredible creatures.
Had a blast checking this zoo out! It was easy to get to, quick to get in, and had maps. They had options to buy food to feed the goats, giraffes, and birds. You could buy “animal encounters” for a variety of different animals. The layout was nice, the animals seemed well cared for, and a fun train ride. The train is free with admission and you can ride as many times as you want. Our group ride twice trying to see the orangutan, but he was hiding. There are certain animals you can only see by rising the train which I thought was fun and made the ride exciting looking for them. We loved learning all the fun facts about the animals on the ride. There were LOTS of baby animals when we went; a hippo, lots of different monkeys, a lemur, and goats. There are multiple bathrooms and an indoor cafe that had snacks, ice cream, and drinks(including a few beer options). Definitely would go again!

Such an amazing zoo. Highly recommend you come here and do the experiences. If you can’t see those then definitely buy the bundle of snacks for the animals when you walk in. But multiple sticks for the budgies, that was one of the best parts of the entire day. You get to see quite a bit of animals. They all look very happy and well taken care of. Got to listen to one of the zoo keepers talk about how the monkeys are while he cleaned their area. Always great to learn from the staff. Everyone was so friendly.

The zoo is a small zoo, they do have a train that does a "safari" tour which is our favorite part honestly. They have all kinds of turtles, tortoises, birds, monkeys, lemurs. The more interesting animals they have are anteaters, lions, kangaroos, Indian and white Rhinos, Pigmy & Nile Hippos, Gorillas, Giraffes and Black Bears. They also have maned wolves and 3 & 2 toed slothes. They overall are a good zoo, the only water fountain is in the gift shop but you can get water refills in the snack bar. They have little wagons available to rent and it's only about $10. They have a bundle for feeding zoo animals available, they have a nice playground for kids too. You need cash to be able to get drinks from vending machines placed throughout the zoo and they only take singles and half the machines don't work. The encounters have to be bought at least 24 hours previously to going to the zoo. Hope this all helps Also, you must wait in line at the counter in order to enter whether you have already purchased your tickets or not

This is a wonderful zoo. It was very clean and very family friendly. So many different places that you could feed the animals and interact with them. There were people walking around telling you about the different animals, their names, and how long they had been there. They also have a train that's included in the price of admission. Really cool!

We visited for our sons 4th birthday! This was our first trip and we underestimated the size. Our next trip will be earlier in the day so we are able to enjoy the food, snacks, and train ride. We loved feeding the giraffes, and the highland cows were the sweetest! We enjoyed the safari walk, too!

Historic Fort Barrancas, located in Pensacola, is a well-preserved hilltop fort with a rich military history. Built in 1787 and fully established in 1844, it played a crucial role in defending the Gulf Coast. The fort features impressive brickwork, underground passageways, living stations for soldiers, and depots for weapons. Visitors can take daily tours to explore the fortress and the Spanish Water Battery while enjoying spectacular water views from the top.
A beautiful fort! Open every fourth Friday of the month. Wear sneakers to avoid sand spurs and ants. The people who work here are friendly and informative. Educational and well maintained!

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.

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.

Great affordable drinks ( $2 beers, $6.50 mixed drinks) and the oysters supreme was TO DIE FOR! For the ppl that said the food was lacking flavor, I'm not sure what they got, but everything we got had loads of flavor. Recommend the Sabine Cooler. Also, if you're uptight about mask at a open air restaurant, dont come here. This is a laid back locals' spot.

The ferry provides relief from transportation hassles and allows passengers to enjoy the beauty of the journey, with the option of sitting inside in air-conditioned comfort. While operating on a hop-on, hop-off basis, passengers can also choose to stay on board for the full loop before returning to Pensacola.
Sunset cruise was wonderful. Plenty of seating up top and below. Drinks were fairly priced. Bathrooms on board. It's $30 per person and seeing the sunset over the water horizon was priceless. Totally can't wait to do it again.

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!

I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone in the area or passing through town.

History Museums
The Pensacola Museum of History, located at the University of West Florida, offers a comprehensive exploration of northwest Florida's history and culture. Housed in the historic Mediterranean Revival architecture of the former Pensacola City Hall, this flagship museum features exhibits, artifacts, and programs that showcase Pensacola's rich heritage since 1559. Visitors can explore timelines, view famous ship anchors like Don Tristan DeLuna's, and experience rotating exhibits on the second floor.
On February 1, 2025 me and my wife visited the Pensacola Museum of history. Virtually no one was in the museum which was absolutely find with us as we had the entire place to ourselves with maybe 2 other couples. The entire museum was very quiet and peaceful. I have been to a lot of museums and I will say while this museum isn’t huge it does have a lot of artifacts that you can interact with and get up close to. The staff if very polite and the pricing of the museum was very cheap. We spend approximately 3.5 hours taking in every exhibit in the building and even got to play some ping pong on the third floor. Though we will probably only come back if we bring the kids once you have seen everything I probably wouldn’t come back unless something big came here. Well worth he the price, rich history of the city settlement in America, recommend everyone take time to visit the museum

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!

We stopped by this area for an evening during our Florida trip. It is fine for what is is, a stretch of beach with a lot of bars, restaurants and shopping, but I tend to enjoy a more low key beach experience. It has a party town feel with a lot of bars, so not the most family friendly place in the world. The actual boardwalk was nice and very scenic.

Eclectic, fun, beachy restaurant. Has something for everyone. We ate inside and it was dark and quiet. The food portions and quality are fantastic! The drinks are yummy too. And be sure to check out the gift shop as it is surprisingly big and has many cool and interesting items. We didn’t stay for the live music but we did watch people playing volleyball. This is our new go to place, and if you’re staying on Pensacola Beach you can DoorDash food and drinks from Flounders too. All around great place!

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.

White sand beaches in either direction ont he gulf side and the bay side (not a great place for shell collecting). There are hiking trails on the beach, across the bay side, and in the Fort. $25 gives you 7 days of admission. A National Parks pass gives you free admission!

The broadcast the audio from the pilots so you knew what and when they were doing it. They made sure you could see the dolphins and found a bunch of them.

I honestly wouldn’t even think of going anywhere else. Thank you to the staff.

Took a snorkel tour for my birthday and had an amazing time! MJ was our captain and she was so sweet and full of knowledge! We saw so many dolphins even some babies! To top it off, a sea turtle popped up for us for a split second! Good birthday vibes for sure! We will be back next time!❤️

My family and I took a sunset cruise this evening and even though we were moved from last night due to low numbers to tonight it was well worth it! The second captain/deck hand, Mary Jo was incredible! She was not there for just a paycheck and it showed! My little wanted to be held by her and I said “ oh no sis she doesn’t want to hold you” and Mary Jo was more than willing to pick my sweet girl up multiple times to hold her! Many dolphins so close to the boat as well and a little boat ride at the end, ending us a little over time which was nice! 10/10 will be back!

We had a blast on our 2 hour private boat tour. We saw a lot of dolphins and a couple of rays even gave us a show. Our captain was fun and educated us on a bunch of dolphin facts and fun. They even supplied cold drinks and let us hook up our playlist. Highly recommend!!!

Our guide, Ally, was awesome, fun and friendly. She let us know the different things we could do and let us decide how much time we would spend with each activity. We snorkeled, watched dolphins and went to a small island. The whole family loved this excursion. Highly recommended.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Jolly Sailing & Dolphin Cruise, where you can enjoy a private cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. As the name suggests, you're likely to encounter playful dolphins leaping out of the water during your tour. In addition to dolphin sightings, they offer various tours such as snorkeling and diving, ensuring that you make the most of your time at sea. The friendly crew is knowledgeable about where dolphins frequent and provides an entertaining experience while on board.
We took a private Sunset cruise with Jolly Sailing and Dolphin Cruises and could not be more pleased. We called several companies but chose Jolly Sailing because of the friendly and professional way Cindy handled the call. Captain Mike was just great, finding dolphins for us to view in great numbers. Very pleased.

We took the Dolphins sightseeing tour this afternoon (9/26/25). Captain Roger and Bosun Matt were fantastic. Both were very engaging, professional and very knowledgeable about all things Dolphins and Pensacola history. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Captain Roger knew exactly where to find at least 20 Dolphins while Bosun Matt must have studied Marine Biology because he was so knowledgeable about Dolphins. Lastly, a big thank you to Ms. Cindy who kept us updated with schedule and reporting to the dock etc. We absolutely loved it and can wholeheartedly recommend Jolly Sailing! You won't be disappointed.

This is a spectacular company! My husband and I booked a private dolphin/snorkeling adventure back in 2023 and had a marvelous time! Now, for our family vacation in 2025 with our kids we did a private dolphin cruise and saw a large pod of dolphins and had our same Captain, Paul, who was an awesome host! We will definitely be continuing to book with them anytime we want a dolphin experience!

Absolutely amazing. This is our 4th time going, and this time was more complicated than past times, trying to accommodate family from multiple states. The front desk woman was great, calling us back to update us on availability and check on our status. Our skipper was skilled and fun, dancing with the kids when the marine life viewing was slow. The deck hand, Mary, was also actively engaged in teaching us during down time and spent extra time keeping children on board active and excited. The view was beautiful, the ride skillfully done, and it was fun for the whole family: 3 generations worth!

Both the staff on our dolphin cruise were kind, punctual, and friendly. I know dolphin cruises can be hit or miss but we saw so many dolphins, including a pod of about 7! When anyone spotted dolphins, they went to that area, slowed down the boat to a stop, and helped us look for the dolphins as they were nearby. The staff took time to teach us some things about the wildlife and the area as well. They also gathered trash from the ocean on our trip. Very much worth the cost!

Twas a jolly good time. My husband and I wanted to find a casual, fun activity to do during our vacation and this was the perfect choice! Best part was the comedic relief waiting for the dolphins to give us a show…which they definitely did!! Cap & the other guy were absolutely the best to lead the cruise, thank you so much. Will keep this on my list of things to do next time I come back to Pensacola.

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.

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.

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.

Terry was our guide and knew more about Pensacola than I did and he's not even from here. I went with a group of friends from work and we all enjoyed it. We did the Red Light District Tour which was super interesting. Our only advise would be to remove some of the racier parts of the video.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful place, great for relaxing with family or friends. Lots of rich Pensacola history presented throughout the beach. PLEASE TAKE YOUR TRASH AND CIGARETTE BUTTS with you, this place is beautiful, let's keep it that way.

I cannot recommend this park enough! The city really did a beautiful job! I'm so proud of the work our local area did in preserving this space for the wildlife and the natural eco system. Again this park is beautiful! The photos really don't do it justice!
Jennifer S — Google review
Probably not ideal for kids. It’s a little rugged and over grown. Picnic area is over grown. Beach was small but secluded seeming. Free parking and garbage cans on site and a few picnic benches. Nice view. They may be neglecting taking care of this beach since the city is going to rebuild the entire thing.

Love this place ! Volleyball / sand / walking path! Made a useless area something people can enjoy

There’s a sign that says swim at your own risk bc of bacteria in the water. This is more a dog park than a swim beach. Not what I was looking for. Parking was $12 plus taxes. There were green beach chairs and a picnic table but no shade at all

Nestled in the vibrant downtown of Pensacola Beach, The Fun Store is a delightful family-owned gem that has been serving up excitement for over a decade. This charming establishment offers an extensive range of rentals and sales to ensure your beach getaway is packed with adventure. Whether you're looking to cruise around on a golf cart or bike, or dive into water sports with surfboards and paddleboards, The Fun Store has you covered at competitive prices.
Was planning on driving to the national seashore to watch the air show but the parking lot was full so they sent us back. Lucky to find this bike shop doing bicycle rentals... Apparently we were late to the shop as there were only two tandem bikes left... rented a tandem and rode 20 miles with my wife to the park and back... the tandem needs some tuneup, a proper seat adjustment (see picture) and chain lube but it did its job 100%. Made a difference between an unhappy wife and seeking the air show in full swing. For that I am 100% grateful for the Fun Store. 👍🙏 Price is reasonable too for a full day rental on a Tandem bike. Dear owner, if you see this message, please fix the tandem passenger seat 😁

i bought two electric bikes from the fun store in 2023 and have had my touring bike tuned and tire replacement since. Now i always direct friends in need of cycle gear or expertise here whatever their biking needs. Wonderful experience every time - certainly helpful and professional with great insight and good advice.

Rented a tandem bike. The seats had to be adjusted but my wife’s seat was moving and falling at an angle the whole ride. We had to stop and adjust it by hand but it would not stay in place. Rented for 4 hours and brought it back after 2 hours as we were not having fun. Staff was nice but owner did not offer to reimbursed part of the fee.

If you had the idea of renting a couple of bikes PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This place is not for you. The owner is very grumpy and not helping at all. All he cares about is grabbing them money off ya and providing ZERO help with the bikes. I have personally asked help with a setting of my bike and he refused to help me telling me no. Very fast at taking your money once you swipe your cc he doesn't give two fudges about your questions and or concerns. Please take your money elsewhere. 1/5 stars? Zero for me.

An extremely pleasant experience. Our reservation needed to be changed due to rain and the change was seamless. At pickup the clerk was very pleasant and accommodating. Our aunt could enjoy her first beach trip because of the service available. We are much appreciative of the customer service as well. Planning to use the fun store again !!

DO NOT GO HERE!! DO NOT GET THE SCOOT COUPES!!!!! These things are completely trash. I rented two of these and one golf cart. The golf cart made random loud popping sounds the entire drive- but at least it drove! I should have known better when one of the coupes wouldn’t start and one of the employees said “oh that’s normal for all of them.” Took them down the road and that’s as far as we got. Mine would repeatedly stop giving gas during the drive then completely gave up after 20 mins of riding. We ended up returning them after that and I “got” my return for the second hour on both coupes. Complete waste of money. I also asked when my deposits and returns of $430 would be funded and was told immediately. It’s been 4 hours and still no return. So wasted paying over $300 for 3 unridable death traps and tying up $430 for however long it takes for them to return it.

Bought 3 adult bikes for 24 hrs, this was a fun way to get around during our trip. We also rode the trolly and never had to worry about parking. Friendly staff
Evelyn J — Google review
We rented their e-bikes. We have rented other e-bikes many times and we just didn’t enjoy these. The seats were uncomfortable. They didn’t seem well-maintained; the bolts for making adjustments were rusty, the handlebars were loose, etc.
