Pensacola MESS Hall

Pensacola MESS Hall is a science museum in downtown Pensacola that invites visitors to learn by doing. The exhibits are set up with materials and stations where you can explore scientific and mathematical concepts through your own experiments.

The museum was established in 2012 and introduced a new approach to science education in the Florida Panhandle. Its founders created a space where hands-on learning became the central idea.

The name MESS stands for Multi-Exploration Science Station, reflecting the philosophy of learning through hands-on experimentation. Throughout the space, you see people of all ages working together at stations to discover scientific phenomena for themselves.

The museum is located downtown and easy to walk to from nearby areas. Plan for at least two to three hours to move through the different stations at a comfortable pace.

The MESS Hall Express program brings mobile science stations directly to schools and communities around the region. This means science education reaches people who might not otherwise have access to these kinds of hands-on learning experiences.
