What travellers are saying
- Carrie APearl, MS12 contributionsIf you are a civilian don't even waste your time trying to drive here yourself. You will not be allowed on the base. Book a tour and you will be waved on through. We had a self guided tour. If ghosts interest you, you could read up on ghost stories about this light house before going. Stairs offer a excellent workout. My thighs hurt for three days.Written 5 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Debbie SPensacola, FL2 contributionsPapaGrizzly was so much fun. We had a great time. Worth every penny and cannot wait to go back.

- Susan NLewes, DE6 contributionsThe fort is a well-curated restored historic site. The visitor's center was closed when we were there, but the brochure and historic markers filled in the information.Written 31 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- journalmytripsGeorgia638 contributionsWe will often visit museums when we travel and we like the living history museums. This one is a small example. There were a few people dressed in costumes of the period but during our visit they were conducting school field trips. That does happen in May.
We found parking about a city block from the Tivoli House where we purchased our admissions. Our next stop was the Museum of Commerce which features shops from the early 20th century and several carriages. Across the street you find the Museum of Industry with a history of the various industries around Pensacola…fishing, railroads, forestry and sawmills. The History Museum is located a couple of blocks away. This building has exhibits on three floors and was the only one where we showed our admission slip. Be sure to visit the Trader Jon on the second floor.
We did not have enough time to visit the houses that from the outside are nicely restored. However, admissions are good for several days if you plan to stay in the area.Written 20 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plenty of parking, adequate bathrooms (which could use an upgrade), covered picnic pavilion, and not too crowded.Written 22 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SpyderWitchBaltimore, MD445 contributionsBeautiful. My husband and I were on our motorcycles and went out to Picken's fort. I wish we had more time at this beach - the island is fabulous and the beaches gorgeous.Written 30 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- retiredJBPensacola, FL1,533 contributionsOf course, a beautiful day and calm seas add to the pleasure of the cruise. Very nice indoor area and spacious outdoor area. During the Blue Angel practice, they had a connection with the #1 jet, so we could hear the commands. Crew very friendly and pleasant. They did have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.Written 12 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea FMetairie, LA20 contributionsGreat spot to walk around. There were people out and about walking, bicycling, sleeping in tents. There was a port-a-potty with no toilet paper.Written 20 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- N7938IPmelissahPetosky, United States7 contributionsPark trails were amazing, mostly sand. A few trails were closed due to prior storm damage-
RV sites were nice and not on top of each other. Showers were amazing with HOT water! It was a little to quiet for me but a nice campground.Written 28 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
