I went here with somewhat lower expectations simply because Pensacola is a small town but I was very impressed with the number of exhibits within. Admission is completely free and there are three floors that cover everything from Pensacola's beginnings to its contributions to the region, wars, etc.

possibles visited when I was a kid, many decades ago. Ecclectic collection, something for everyone. Can't beat the price. I visit whenever I can. Always find something I did not see before.

I went the day they reoppened with a kids activity type center. It was fun and hectic. It was smaller then expected, but the kids seemed to love it.

This free museum has something to offer for every age range. It has three levels. The top level has a large play area. Be sure to see the mummified cat while you are there!

The crusty old chunk of Thomas Edison's birthday cake! It seems the museum has become a bit more focused on local history in recent years, which is also quite fascinating.

We only had an hour before the museum closed so we had to go through it quickly but there was definitely a lot there to see. There are two floors to go through. The upstairs has a lot of coca-cola memorabilia as well as Girl Scout memorabilia and I can't even remember all that was there. Definitely worth coming to... More

Located in beautiful downtown Pensacola next to a shaded park. Lots of exhibits to enjoy of the history of Pensacola. We enjoyed a snack in the shaded park with huge trees with the kids.
