The Pensacola MESS Hall is not a typical science museum. Rather than exhibits with planned outcomes, visitors get to work like real scientists, developing questions and creating experiments, engaging in complex reasoning and learning science just through tinkering. It’s all hands-on science. Learn more.
We are located at 116 N. Tarragona St. in downtown Pensacola, right behind Caldwell Associated Architects. (Need directions?)
The Pensacola MESS Hall’s summer hours of operation are 10am to 5pm on Tuesday through Saturday and 1pm to 5pm on Sunday. Admission is $8 per person, or free with a family membership.
Design your own marble racetrack and race your friends! The same track pieces and tubes can have very different results depending on angles and other factors.
