If you go to NAS be sure and take a tour of the lighthouse. They even offer night tours or haunted tours! Too cool! I didn't have time to do the haunted tour but it sounded like fun! At NAS there are many different things to do and you can easily spend a whole day or even a weekend looking... More

We had only a few hours but could have easily spent the day touring this amazing museum. The exhibits were so well presented and the eras clearly marked made this museum stand out as a quality place to visit.

One of the coolest, most well-equipped museums I've ever been to. The museum covers everything from World War I planes to the role of Naval and Marine Aviators in America's space program. If you're really lucky like we were, You'll catch a retirement/commissioning ceremony for naval aviators, held in the Blue Angels Pavillion. There is always an Imax or two... More

Absolutely superb for any aviation enthusiast or anyone with an intersest in the Naval aviation history of our nation. Excellent for children of all ages! From the aircraft exhibits to the movies and simulators, your day will be filled with adventure. Additionally, the Blue Angels perform a practice airshow on most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 0830 from April to... More

This is a fantastic museum for all ages. There are simulators, airplanes from the start of aviation to the present, hands on experiences for children (school age and older toddlers), IMAX theater, and free tour guide through the two or more buildings.

Visited the Naval Air Museum at Pensacola, FL last week. It is truly amazing, and best of all, it's free. Even if you have no interest in aviation, you will like this from an historical point of view. The volunteer guides are so great at covering all the information on the older planes. There are lots of exhibits, as well.... More

This is the second time we have visited the National Navel Air Museum in Pensacola and it just gets better and better. There have been a few additions since May 2012 but the 3d 360 degree simulators that allow you take control of a Blue Angel and turn yourself and your co pilot (long suffering wife) every which way but...
