The 10 Best Museums in Florida Panhandle, Florida Panhandle

June 27, 2021 Alida England

The Florida Panhandle is known for its quaint beach towns and interesting attractions, many of which are money-saving and family friendly. Come to the Florida Panhandle and relax on glorious beaches, shop to your heart’s content and dance the night away. Santa Rosa Island is great for kids and offers a wide array of both beach-based and water-based activities. Families will enjoy a day away to tour the 150-year-old Pensacola Lighthouse. The Florida Panhandle offers exciting nightlife. Panama City, Destin and Pensacola all have numerous bars and nightclubs to suit all tastes. Panama City is home to Club La Vela, the largest nightclub in the U.S. The Florida Panhandle is a shopaholic’s dream. It offers specialty stores, antique stores and shopping malls. For those renting a home or condo, a trip to Joe Patti’s seafood market in Pensacola is a must. The market specializes in fine wine and cheese, and beautifully presented handmade chocolates to take home to friends and relatives as gifts. Mon Père et Moi in Tallahassee is also worth a visit.

Excellent customer service. We were purchasing only small items and were given as much attention as though we'd purchased a high value item. Lovely shop for browsing or buying.

Talented and cordial. Lot's of pictures and examples to choose from but does excellent free hand work also. Very good sense of humor. Packages up nicely for you to travel back with. Takes a little bit of time if having to wait but it's fun to watch and lots to do right there. Price wise not bad. Worth the price, worth the memory. Fun experience!

Redbird Art Experience

Reviewed By foxymamaruth

Oh my goodness!!!! This place is awesome and such a wonderful experience. As soon as you walk into the Redbird Art Experience, you're in awe of your surroundings. This place is so unbelievably cool. The whole concept behind this place is just fantastic. There are massive amounts of beads, glass, bottles, rocks, ribbons, etc... for you to use to create your masterpiece. Robin was so helpful and assisted me with everything. This is a great idea for kids and adults, especially if it happens to be a rainy day in Destin. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would definitely return and take family with me!!!!!!

The museum and grounds were happily open, and all staff were knowledgeable and cheerful. There were plenty of exhibits to interest all ages and a few interactive exhibits that were very cool. We enjoyed all of the buildings and would visit again. There is also a gift shop.

Museum of Florida History

Learn of Florida's rich history here.

Reviewed By Tgogators

These other comment are not lying! I've been here dozens of times since my grade school years (the mid-90s) and some parts of it (the walkthrough river boat, grandma's attic, souther farm life displays) are exactly the same and have been perfectly kept up. It's nice that is has a few revolving exhibits to add to the diversity of Florida history (which is rather vast). One of the few places in the state you can see authentic dinosaur bones! The tone of the self-guided museum starts in prehistoric times, to Spanish (later British) occupation, Civil War, onto the World Wards, and parts that reflect general Florida life. Definitely something of interest for the whole family!
