Fun things to do in Pensacola Beach: 45 fun attractions and activities

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 💛

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Gorgeous!! Not nearly as crowded as the local city beaches and very well maintained. It’s part of the National Park system so it has nice facilities. There is a fee but it is worth it for the cleanliness, restrooms and showers.

You will find sparkling blue waters and beautiful beaches along 150-mile stretch of pristine seashore. Whether you’re shelling, swimming, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery, Gulf Islands National Seashore is a nature lover’s paradise. ☀️🐚🌊

I guess more patrols need to be added out here from the sheriffs office, third time in three weeks. People had their pets on the beach and refused to get off the beach when approached. That combination with the trash that is accumulating on the beach from people thateither are very forgetful or just don’t give a darn.

Wow! This location is beach lovers heaven. The cleanliness of the water and beaches absolutely beautiful. We were here on a Saturday in July the weather to the north was stormy but on the island it was cloudy. It made a perfect time to visit without the intense heat. It has many spots to just pull into for a more private setting or more public areas to park in a parking lot with amenities a fee is charged in some spots. Beautiful place to visit. If you wanna be away from it all this is the place. No houses condos and large crowds.

Gulf Islands National Seashore is a great place to visit! I have now been to both the Mississippi and Florida locations in which both are beautiful in their own way. The Davis Bayou Area of GINS boasts flourishing swamp ecosystems while the Florida area provided visitors with history on top of gorgeous beaches and marine ecosystems! The NPS runs each facility in the best way possible and cannot wait for my next visit!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

From the reservation to the End. Captain Kirk and his wife they are the best me and my husband went on the condor by far is one of our best experience ❤️ amazing trip very well treated i mean I gave them 5 🌟 because they don't have any more 😀 well Captain Kirk you are amazing person we glad we did the condor shout out to Condor sailing 💙 see you next year 200% Recommend

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!

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.

Had a blast! So much to see and I LOVED that I could live on some cows in the feeding zone/petting zone. Miracle Whip was the sweetest and Feta the cow is just greedy. The Boardwalk Safari was adorable, I really enjoyed it. Overall, we had a fulfilled day 🩵

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!

Smaller zoo, but they make great use of the space. The effort to animal ratio is great, and there are well placed refreshments stands. Very kid friendly with rentable wagons and a playground. The animals were all accessible and viewable. Multiple feeding and interaction opportunities with varying species.

Very nice Zoo. They have a lot of monkeys. The train ride was better than others I've been on. The food was a little more expensive than what I budgeted for. I would say eat before you go. Over all it was great!

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.

Great food and beautiful sunsets from the deck! My drink paradise punch was amazing! We got a variety of food, the seafood platter had a huge portion size! Red fish nuggets and wings were awesome! Service was good too! Highly recommend!

Overall, it was a decent experience. Not the best food or service in PB, but also not the worst. We had crab cakes (asked for them to be extra crispy and they were soggy), steak (ordered medium well and it was well done), and crab legs. The crab legs were good. The view was the best part. Probably wouldn't go back.

Our food was fantastic, the atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful. Our server Sophie was excellent, she was attentive and helped us pick the best choices of a really extensive, delicious menu! And almost forgot to mention the key lime pie was worth every calorie- phenomenal! We would definitely eat here again when in Pensacola.

We stopped in for a late lunch one rainy afternoon and were pleasantly surprised the place wasn’t slammed full of people. We had a party of four two of which were locals. The weather was not cooperating so we opted to sit at the separate bar area in back. Almost as soon as we sat down an large table opened up outside and we grabbed it! We had the nicest server and she was right on time with refills and knew the menu very well. We just decided to go with appetizers and everything was great. Crab claws fried and sautéed, redfish nuggets all delicious. The stand outs were the frisky oysters and the stuffed mushrooms. Both fabulous!!! We will definitely be going back in the near future. Urban Cowgill June 2020 Updated Sept 2021 Back on town for a week, this is becoming one of our favorite go to spots! The back porch is a perfect combination of sun, wind and dive atmosphere. The food is always good and flavorful, comes fairly quick and the staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. Anything "frisky" is good! I may go back on this trip, its that good! Urban Cowgill Sept. 2021 Updated February 2023 Same great service food and scenery. WEEKLY SPECIALS MONDAY Raw Oysters $0.89 TUESDAY Chicken Wings $0.89 WEDNESDAY Baked Oysters $2.00 Off THURSDAY Redfish, Shrimp, or Chicken Tacos $2 Off FRIDAY Fried Mullet $11.99 Subject to Availability EVERYDAY $1.50 draft, $6.00 pitchers & $3.00 fireball all day every day SATURDAY & SUNDAY Breakfast • 8AM-12PM $3.00 Mimosa's & $3.00 Bloody Mary's during Breakfast

Yummy! Yummy! We started with Bushwackers that were delicious! We had the Fried Shrimp Basket that included tater tots and coleslaw! It was delicious! There were plenty of shrimp and tater tots! The French Dip was yummy too! Bevy Boo Boo was our friendly, fast, and efficient server! We loved the colorful tables and breezy outside dining area! The center Sandbar with a t.v. looked like a fun spot to spend with friends to catch a football game!

Fast service. Great food for a great price. Huge portions, and comes out super fast. Cocktails are great. Lovely view of the water and the boat docks if you sit on the back deck. The staff is friendly. Crab cakes are great, and so are the fried clams.

I was worried about coming here because some recent bad reviews, but let me tellll you! Service was great, Vickie greeted us right away and gave us the DL on the oysters special. 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.

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.

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.

The Pensacola Beach Boardwalk is the perfect place to experience the best of the area, all in one lively spot. It's more than just a place to walk—it's a hub of entertainment, dining, and shopping with stunning views of the Santa Rosa Sound. You can grab a drink at a waterfront bar, listen to live music, and watch the boats go by. The variety of restaurants and boutiques means there's something for everyone, whether you want a quick snack or a full meal. With the calm waters of Quietwater Beach just steps away, it’s a truly relaxing and fun destination that captures the easygoing spirit of the Gulf Coast.

This boardwalk is perfect to spend a day at the beach. There is a ton of free parking, plenty of shops, a pay to use pier, and a variety of places to eat nearby. Even when the beach is busy there is plenty of space and it is still very quiet. Still a variety of wildlife present. A great spot all around!

We always have a nice time in Pensacola as well!! The beach was clean, nice restaurants! The beach itself was nice! We ate at crabs and it was delish! Blue angels gave a great show flying over us. It was nice.

The best entertainment you can get for 2.50 (walking pass)! The kids live for the wildlife we see from the pier. Cheap easy entertainment for the entire family!

While this beach area can be busy they have a lot of nice areas with showers to wash off. Great spots to take photos. The giant beach ball. Lots of food options. Alvins Island gift shop. Cute shops. Great place to spend a day on the Gulf or Bay, clean up, and hang on the board walk with food and drink.

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!

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’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.

My “go to” spot! Clean, safe, white sand, turquoise water and rarely crowded. It’s off the beaten path as it’s part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Make sure you have what you need before heading here; no shops or restaurants.

Nice park. I used my National Park pass to get on for free and enjoyed the well-kept beaches and the bathrooms.

Awesome beach. Cover charge should be reduced however. Nice pavilions, and amazing views.

Awesome location to come and enjoy the Emerald Water. Calm and quiet place to enjoy the beach. 100% worth the $25 for a 7 day pass. We came twice to spend the day with the white sand and great atmosphere.

Must be timing....went mid July. Ugly slimy seaweed beach. So much seaweed. And it costs $25 to get in. Sand was very soft. One bathroom had overflowing toilet. Drove over to Ft. Walton beach for dinner and sunset and beach was much better there. I won't come back or recommend.

It’s the most beautiful beach’s with white sand, crystal blue waters and accessible to bathrooms nearby.

Most beautiful peaceful beach I've ever been too we went everyday and never were we o er crowded

Langdon Beach is a beautiful, quiet beach inside Ft. Pickens national park. The parking lot is right at the beach, with the water very close. Plus, there is a nice pavilion (with picnic tables) and restrooms.

Langdon beach is Peaceful and worth every penny! We paid $25 at the gate and got access to a more private part of the beach with hardly any crowds. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Hidden gem in Pensacola Beach! Otw to the beach we seen a air show they have every year about the same time.

You can enjoy quiet sunbathing and fishing. You can also see the dazzling fine sand of the Gulf. There are also restrooms and showers to wash your salt-soaked body.

Worth the $25 entry and it's good for 7 days. Less crowds, clear water, lots of shells. Limited parking though.

We got to this beach fairly early, and the vibe was EVERYTHING we were hoping for. It was very relaxing and chill and not crowded at all. If you are looking to go shelling this is an awsome place!

Love this beach!! Lots of shells and not crowded. Plenty of parking. Showers to rinse off by the parking lot. Lots of shelters to sit under by the parking lot.

A barrier island between the Gulf of Mexico and Pensacola Bay, Fort Pickens State Park and as part of it, Langdon Beach, is BREATHTAKING!! Serene, beautiful, peaceful! Scattered with Oak Trees, natural wonders, military remnants, tons of wildlife (deer, eagles in the season, shore birds, ospreys, turles, stingrays, etc). 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!

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!!

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.

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 logging factory inside.

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.

Me and my wife had a blast! This was our first dolphin cruise we did the sunset cruise and it was not only beautiful but they clearly know what there doing the ride out was beautiful sunset and some great commentary and jokes both captains were hilarious the operating captain stood and let a little girl sit in the captains seat which I thought was above and beyond service when we got out to the bay and saw the dolphins they were very informative on the local area/wildlife and knew exactly where to go to see the dolphins we saw atleast 6/7 and saw them “playing” jumping snorting air had perfect sunset dolphin picture taking position as the sun was almost gone someone metioned the blue angels coming back home theese guys got us within prolly 3/400 yards of them flying over the bay with fat Albert in formation and on the way they asked each of us individually if we enjoyed ourselves as if they actually cared about just having fun the ride was very safe and the non operating captain even helped take selfies for some of the passengers great experience great time will definitely be back for more dolphin cruises and blue angels cruises Also I don’t remember the two captains names clearly lol but they both deserve some recognition for top tier service If yall know who worked 9/21/25 the sunset cruise we would like to schedule with them again next time for the blue angels

What a fun evening we had on our sunset dolphin cruise! Mike & Kenzie are fantastic! It was a fun, casual ride! We saw a lot of dolfins and some local sights. The boat is comfortable with cushioned seating for everyone and shade! We will be back! We highly recommend this tour!!!

We had the BEST time on our dolphin tour. Charlie and Mackenzie were absolutely amazing! So entertaining, funny, and full of energy. They kept everyone laughing while still sharing great info about the dolphins and the area. The boat ride was beautiful, and we saw so many dolphins, including a few that came right up next to us! It was definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this tour, make sure you go with Charlie and Mackenzie on the Happy Hour sunset tour if you can!

We had a great time on this dolphin cruise! We saw an unreal amount of dolphins in the two hours! Wave cutter continues to be the most fun and exciting dolphin cruise. Captains were super funny and knowledgeable on where to find the dolphins as well as showing us around some of the Pensacola coastline we will be back! 🐬🌊

We had a great time on the tour! Charlie and Mike were awesome—Charlie kept us laughing the whole time, and Mike really took care of us. There were snacks and drinks available for purchase, which was super convenient. We saw so many dolphins and overall had a pretty good time. These guys are genuinely kind and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Went here and it did not disappoint, we saw dolphins ( a. lot of dolphins )+ the Blue Angels+ the Sunset (it was awesome) & the boat ( name the happy hour) rides really smooth. Captain Joe stopped the boat when we spotted the dolphins and we got to spend 15 or 20 minutes surrounded by them, it was the best ! We got great photos and videos ! We will look forward to the next trip with these guys !

My first ever dolphin cruise and it turned out to be wonderful. Most dolphin sighting in the whole week and on top of that an absolutely majestic sunset. Mike and Cap Kinsey were so friendly and energetic and it felt like they were actually enjoying with us not just doing there jobs. A heads up tho you have to ask Mike same thing twice I bet he will tell you differently each time😂😂.

We celebrated our 24 year anniversary on an evening cruise and the captain and Mary our deckhand were amazing. The cruise was phenomenal. We were very lucky to have seen several pods of dolphins. The crew really knows so much about these amazing creatures. They shared with joy and laughter and made the experience perfect!!!

1st time in Pensacola. Found out this dolphin cruise also went to watch the Blue Angles practice. They went out of their way to make sure everyone got a good view of the practice. 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. The deckhand was amazing and got everyone involved. 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend and worth it. We will definitely be back on this cruise again.

My family and I absolutely love renting pontoon boats from the frisky mermaid. The staff is always extremely friendly and accommodating. Pensacola beach is a beautiful part of Florida and has some beautiful beaches that can be accessed by boat only. They’ve made renting their boats so easy. 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.

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!

Our family LOVED our private dolphin tour with Paul! We had the best time seeing tons of playful dolphins and stopping at the beach to slide on the sand, take some pics and relax in the water. Hope to be back again one day!

Was an amazing experience! We had a wonderful tour of the bay and saw a bunch of dolphins. Matt (first mate) was super knowledgeable about the area and the dolphin. Him and the captan were both super nice! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Such a great, family friendly area! Sadly, people leave their park trash at the water but, overall, beautiful place. Fun play area.

Nice park on the water. It has picnic tables, playground, sand ball court, and a toilet room. We did a picnic 🧺 dinner here in May 2025.

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!

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

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

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.

Unbelivable experience at Pensacola beach air show 2025

Chasing my Blues here every year for their beach home show. I love my Angels ✈️ 🛩 🛬

A beautiful place to just be.

Great beach, horrible place to watch the blue angels. The fly over the naval base. Go to fort Pickens.

Just a epic time. Can't wait till next year

That's not the location for viewing. The location is Fort Pickens FL in the national park

Amazing pilots...amazing place to watch blue angels.
