In a place of wonder, big and small, look where curious kids do it all.

Due to high visitation for Spring Break this week, we are implementing Timed Ticketing for the Children's Museum.

Guests can purchase a Timed Ticket for either 10:00-12:00; 12:00-2:00; or 2:00-4:00. This will help us ensure that everyone has an opportunity to learn through play in the Museum.

To purchase your Timed Ticket, see https://ecom.roller.app/uwfhistorictrust/pensacolachildrensmuseumtimedticket/en-us/home

The Children's Museum is SUPER busy today for the first day of Spring Break. We have welcomed over 200 friends already this morning and we are a small museum.

Please be patient.

We may implement timed ticketing for the rest of the week to ensure the safety of our exhibits. Staff are working on how timed ticketing may help manage the number of visitors throughout the day.

This morning a field trip will be learning through play at the Museum. Be aware the Museum may be extra busy, extra loud, and full of extra excitement as these kindergartener classes explore the Museum!

Interested in hosting a birthday party at the Museum? We love sharing your child's special day! But, we are not for everyone. As a Museum, we ask that party goers abide by our Code of Conduct and treat our staff respectfully. A signed Party Agreement is required to book the Museum.

We are the perfect spot for small parties. Due to our museum's small size, we can not accommodate large parties. We limit birthday parties to 25 people total-that's adults and children. Guests can not block access to the Museum if they do not fit into the Party Room.

As a museum we have to ensure the safety of the exhibits, so all food, candy, and drink must remain in the Party Room.

Like our partner the Pensacola MESS Hall and other party spaces in Pensacola, you will have access to the Party Room for 2 hours. Your guests will have access to the Museum for the full day during operating hours.

We require 30 minutes between each party to ensure the Party Room is ready for the next party. Some days we have 4 parties. Some days we have only 2. You can see the list of booked parties on our website to confirm party dates and times.

Our fee is $150 with a $50 refundable deposit if there are no damages to the museum or excessive time overages. If interested in longer times, we do offer additional time for nominal fees if there are no other parties booked.

We can not book every request due to our limited staff, but we work to meet everyone's requests to the best of our ability.

According to the Association of Children's Museums, children's museums are places where children learn through play and exploration in environments designed just for them. They suggest one of the best ways to support your child's learning is by asking questions and participating in the exploration.

To do that, we've included prompts throughout the Our Town exhibit to facilitate playful learning conversations. What's your favorite?

This weekend are the big Mardi Gras parades in Downtown Pensacola and we are in the heart of it!

Be mindful of the street closures around the museum this weekend. From the City of Pensacola, road closures will be in effect for the following dates and all parades during construction on South Palafox:

• Friday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m. – Krewe of Lafitte Parade
• Saturday, February 14 at 2 p.m. – Grand Mardi Gras Parade

The parade route and float staging areas will close to vehicular traffic approximately three hours prior to the start of each event. Parking is prohibited along the parade route and in designated no-parking areas. Vehicles will be towed if found on the parade route or the additional "no parking" zones when road closures begin.

Street closures will extend to Tarragona Street, DeVilliers Street, and Main Street, consistent with closures implemented during the 2025 Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and the Pensacola Christmas Parade. Heavy parade and float traffic is anticipated between Wright Street and Main Street, along with impacts to Garden Street, Palafox Street, and Spring Street.
