Join us for some social time and drinks with environmentally-minded folks. This month we visit The Grainhouse at Garden and Grain, a cocktail garden and private event space located behind Perfect Plain Brewing Co.
We'll enjoy a short discussion with Chelsea Mahan, one of the founders of the Canopy Restoration Project. This Project is bringing hundreds of trees into Pensacola neighborhoods every year, and you can find out how you can help get trees planted in your neighborhood.

Learn about some of our Animal Ambassadors during a Creature Feature! We have over 55 exotic animals that call the center home...which will you get to meet today? We like to bring out a wide variety of our creatures- from fuzzy and furry to slithery and scaly!
Stop by Wednesday-Friday at 11 a.m. to get an up-close encounter with our critters. Safely interact with our animals and learn about the creatures that call the museum home in these fun presentations. SPACE AT THE CREATURE FEATURE AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. REGISTERING ONLINE DOES NOT SECURE A SPOT.
Creature Features are subject to availability due to summer field trip bookings. Please call to confirm availability or watch this space for any potential closure dates.
sciPad featuring SMALLab Learning is an embodied learning environment where every learner is up, moving, and collaborating. You'll work together to solve puzzles, compete in trivia games, learn about the world, play memory and matching games, and so much more. Watch as our classroom becomes the fraction, letter, molecule, paintbrush, or playing piece in hundreds of educational activities...think of it like playing in an interactive, room-sized iPad. Ages 2 to 102 will have fun on the sciPad...it's unlike anything else! We'll feature a new game each day during the summer for guests to experience.
sciPad is open from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday for guests to drop in and play as they please on their visit. As such, private reservations are not available. However, you can RSVP for a selected date to help us determine the number of guests to expect on your selected day.
