I'm a former Navy Chief Petty Officer, and love the history of all things Navy. This gem of a museum did not disappoint. It is first-rate by anyone's measure, and if you are in Pensacola, you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not spend time touring this museum. It would be like going to Pearl Harbor and NOT... more

My wife and I had a great time at the museum! The exhibits are numerous and in excellent condition. We especially enjoyed the guided tour of the aircraft on display outside of the museum. It takes three or four hours to do this museum justice! more

My family LOVES going to the Naval Museum. My children are 9, 11 and 19. They have enjoyed it since they were babies, they never get tired of going. They are fascinated by the history, the videos and of course the PLANES. You can see plenty of adults getting into the planes as well. Absolutely wonderful destination. Can't recommend highly... more

I have been going to the Naval Air Museum for over 30 years and it continues to grow and improve. I think it rates up there with Air and Space in Washington. I great new addition is the re-creation on the Officers Club from Cobi Bay. I normaly do not eat at museum cafeterias but this is well worth it.... more

The Naval Aviation Museum was great. There is a hugh collection of war planes, loads of information, fun for kids and adults alike. The only part I didn't like was entering the air base check point. Some kid in a naval uniform had an attitude with us. I was traveling with my two little girls and gave him no reason... more

We went on Wed morning for the practice show of the Blue Angels. Show will start at 8:30 so be there for 8:00 and you will have time to park and walk to the backside. The show lasted 30 mins. We started heading back to museum within 25 mins and it's a good thing because the crowd of people were... more

We visited the museum on a recent trip to the Gulf coast. I had been to the museum so many times as a kid. Pensacola was the vacation destination of choice for my family. My grandparents actually still visit the museum every summer. They continue to add exhibits & update things. It was an amazing visit. The museum is free.... more

This was the COOLEST museum! The walking tour was long, but VERY interesting. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. We learned a lot! There are both stairs and elevators. The museum also has a Top Gun school where you fly simulator jets. They have planes from every period of history: the first navy commissioned airplane, the british "camel" planes... more
