Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Diane KVenice, FL4,639 contributionsMy husband and I spent nearly three hours here. They had quite a few aircraft of all types and vintage. Displays of the space program were also included. I also enjoyed learning about the dirigibles that the navy used for a while. When we were there, the Blue Angels were not practicing - so we missed that. I would have like to see more info in the museum relating to the Blue Angels. Overall, it was a great experience.Written 27 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kerri K23 contributions177 steps, history, and cute simple museum. Nice climb and scenic view nice, also has small scenic walk on the outside. The young ladies inside were wonderful.Written 1 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mel R.56 contributionsI know Pensacola Beach is the go to beach for just about everyone who visits Pensacola, and for good reason, it's perfect for hanging out and do some people watching, plenty of bars, restaurants, gift shops, large parking lot, etc. But I feel that Johnson Beach deserves some love as well.
Johnson Beach is quite the opposite of Pensacola Beach, there are some restaurants in the area, but it's not as walkable as Pensacola Beach. It's got white sands, clear water, a nearby trail, and large gazebos. This Beach is fantastic! Perfect for walking or going on a job.
Johnson Beach is ideal for those looking for a more relax atmosphere, maybe do a little fishing, or celebrating a special occasion. I personally enjoy it a little more than Pensacola Beach, I love coming here to do a light jog, and sometimes just to be a beach bum.
You pay a fee to park, I like getting the annual pass for $45, I feel it's well worth it. They also offer free public parking a few blocks before you hit the main entrance. It's not as big as the main lot just get there early enough and you'll have more luck finding a parking spot. Orange Beach is just further down the road from Johnson Beach if you want to try something different. Johnson Beach is one of my favorite Beaches, It's truly a hidden gem in Pensacola.Written 3 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In Hawaii, the wahoo is known as ono.[4] The species is sometimes called hoo in the United States.[5] It is best known to sports, as its speed and high-quality makes it a prized and valued game fish.
It’s priceless
It’s like a county fair
It’s like dinner with baseball on the side
It’s relaxed
It’s family friendly
It’s easy parking
It’s a beautiful view
It’s go for the baseball and enjoy the party
It’s every seat is a good seat
It’s wahooingly fun!Written 24 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Its an amazing stretch of land.Written 9 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kathryn Tdetroit4 contributionsThis was a great experience. The park is small, clean and well maintained. It appears to be managed by the owners. We were able to feed several Macaws and other birds. The animals are very well cared-for. The tour was a quick (about an hour) experience, but worth the hour drive it took to get there. The manager teaches viewers how to safely feed the birds (to prevent getting your fingers nipped). I am not sure of the age-limits for visitors, our group was all adults. Loved it.Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Merry G1 contributionMy husband and I had never thrown axes before and I thought this would be a lark, but it turned out very well! Papa Grizzly came by to adjust my throwing arms and foot placement and I was actually able to throw an axe! We were repeatedly landing axes and it felt awesome. The place was clean, organized and safe. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for a date night.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jwdontenEnglewood, FL346 contributionsThe collection of historic buildings and exhibits of the Historic Pensacola Village provide a great insight into the rich history of Pensacola. The self-guided walking tour highlights the history from all eras of Pensacola history. There is a guided tour that is included and takes you into some of the historic building however the timing of the tour didn't work out on our visit. They are also doing renovation on a few building so there were some that were not accessible.Written 23 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan NLewes, DE6 contributionsThe fort is a well-curated restored historic site. The visitor's center was closed when we were there, but the brochure and historic markers filled in the information.Written 31 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RosemountChickPortsmouth, OH806 contributions$6 to enter- Great place to take some scenic walks. They have an observation tower you can climb to the top for some nice views. You can grill out at one of their covered pavilions. You can also rent paddle boards and kayaks. Pretty cool place. We enjoyed our time there.Written 9 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
