Take a walk along theEco-Trail on Pensacola Beach where you’ll learn about local plants and common wildlife as you walk along and see the 29 signs along the trail.

Head out to the northern shoreline of Big Lagoon State Park and climb the three-story Observation Tower for a bird’s eye of the park’s 655 acres overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Kayaks, paddleboards and canoes are available to rent. The Pensacola Bay Area’s many places to relax and unplug, or stay busy in the outdoors is gaining national attention.

Step back in time, 450 years, to walk through HISTORY. History buffs can explore historic Pensacola where the past comes to life with colonial-era costumed staff, guided walking tours and hands-on activities including butter churning and open-hearth cooking.  Climb through old military forts, a lighthouse or spend a day or two at the National Naval Aviation Museum with nearly 350,000 square feet of indoor exhibits. When you need a break from the sun, it’s the perfect place to let the kids have fun in the Kitty Hawk play area, or spend time testing out simulators, seeing a movie on the giant screen theater or meeting the Blue Angels for autographs after a weekly practice flight.

Pensacola has ART. Explore galleries, museums, music and the theater. At the First City Arts Center  everyone has a chance to find the artist within through hands-on classes in glassblowing, glass bead making, clay sculpting, pottery on the wheel, drawing and painting.

SCIENCE minds who like to tinker will find plenty to inspire their creativity.  One such stop is thePensacola MESS Hall, where making a mess is encouraged. MESS stands for Math, Engineering, Science and Stuff and different MESS kits each day encourage experimenting. What kids and parents find out is that getting to the answer isn’t the best part; what’s most interesting and exciting is what you learn in the process.
