The Mess Hall is an incredible destination for any visitor or native of Pensacola / Pensacola Beach or any where with in a drive. A mix of art and science - but 100% fun for all ages. It’s a great stop to burn an hour, or make it an all day trip (especially if it’s raining on your beach vacation!). There’s plenty to do and the staff is fun, helpful and engaged. Parents can easily observe or join in the fun. Plus a unique gift shop full of more fun to take home. It’s close to downtown shops and restaurants but plenty of free parking. This is a must-do!!

The ECSC is a MUST SEE in Fort Walton! It is extremely interesting as well as educational. The best part - the kids love it and earn from it. They ask us to take them back often, and the ECSC has program on a monthly basis with new presentations.
