Math, Engineering, Science, and Stuff – That’s what we do at the Pensacola MESS Hall.
Our Mission
To inspire curiosity, experimentation, and creative problem solving through exploration of math, engineering, science, and stuff.
Our Vision
The Pensacola MESS Hall aspires to attract and create a community of critical and creative thinkers of all ages who are inspired by and understand the basic principles of science.
The Pensacola MESS Hall is a hands-on science museum that encourages visitors to “mess around”, to plan their own experiments to learn more about the natural world. We are a place where families can work together or explore side-by-side, having fun while learning. Whether you are looking for a family outing during school vacation, a more in-depth experience in our camps or homeschool programs, or even an adult night out at our adult program, prepare to be inspired to continue discovering even after you leave.
We look forward to seeing you at the MESS Hall soon!
