Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum

Beautiful! What a wonderful experience. I could totally envision myself living the life of a lighthouse keeper during that Era. The amount of duties, daily tasks like cleaning and polishing the lens, trimming wicks, and polishing brass, as well as maintenance, repairs, and emergency response to maritime incidents - WOW! The light keeper's house was gorgeous and built incredibly strong! The engineering and architectural design of the lighthouse, and the innovative advancements throughout time - Impressive! It would be a delight to see this again after dark!

This was a nice place to visit and see, especially for those who like history. The museum has a lot of information about how the lighthouse was maintained in the past. The admission price was a bit steep in my opinion (I think $9.50/person for those that aren’t seniors/military).

We did the sunset and full moon tour of the lighthouse and it was fantastic! Though it said sold out online, we were able to call and see if there had been cancellations the day of the tour and get in! We had a small group. Cheryl led an interesting tour around the keepers quarters and museum for us while Wanda provided a wealth of information at the top of the lighthouse. The view was magnificent. We had a gorgeous sunset and though the full moon was blocked by clouds, Wanda told us some local stories while we waited for the moon to come above the clouds. This lighthouse is so well maintained and full of history. The view is amazing. The staff was so great and we’re so thankful we got this experience!

I am a big lighthouse fan and this one did not disappoint. Very well maintained. Well worth the 219 step climb to look out over the oldest city in the United States. The staff at the gift shop and on the grounds were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the lighthouse also.

Beautiful place to visit in July. Very hot but the views from the top were well worth the 170+ steps to climb up. Just don’t look down!

A must visit when in or around Pensacola. The view from the lighthouse is spectacular! It's even better if you happen to catch the Navy's Blue Angels practicing. The Blue Angels and Aviation Museum are directly across from the lighthouse.

Pretty cool lighthouse that let's you climb all the way to the top. It actually still works and is moving while you are up there. Their is a museum on-site of how the light keeper lived and worked on a day to day basis. Its just under $10 a person.

This was an awesome place to visit. The light house staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. Never enjoyed a gift shop near as much as the one attached to this tour.
