Join us for this extra special planetarium event that celebrates the brilliant and brave women who wrote their names in the stars by pushing back against discrimination and gender roles. We’ll travel around the solar system to celebrate some of the earliest female astronomers, NASA scientists, and astronauts. You’ll also learn about the brother/sister duo who discovered Uranus, the two planets that are named after goddesses (and three dwarf planets), the only constellation named after a historical figure, and the best mom ever who won a trip to space and decided to take her 18-year-old daughter. Buckle your seat belts, because these amazing women will blow you away.

Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Due to size, space is limited to 25 patrons at a time. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. On Planetarium Nights, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. In case of no-shows/late shows: reserved spots will be released at show time to make space for the next party.

Shows begin at 6 and 7 pm and last approximately 45 minutes.

Seating is limited and very popular. We encourage purchasing your tickets in advance, as this is a first come, first served event. Please call 850-664-1261, stop by the Science Center, or use our online ticketing option to purchase your tickets.

Our planetarium is powered by FPL

Join Bike Pensacola for the most popular bike ride in town—the Slow Ride! Each month we explore the quiet, scenic streets of Pensacola's many historic neighborhoods for a fun and leisurely ride among friends.

For September our host is From the Ground Up Community Garden, and our sponsor is IMEG--an employee-owned engineering design company with an office in downtown Pensacola. The Garden is hosting a “Really Really Really Free Market" as part of the event, a community yard sale where everything is FREE.
Because most cyclists are “self taught,” each month we offer information about bicycle laws, safety tips, and addressing different bicycling skills that will help keep rides safe and enjoyable. There is no charge for the ride and no registration required.

The ride will be about one hour and ten minutes long, at a casual pace. Nobody will be “dropped” or left behind. Children ages 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult; no kids under 10 on their own bicycle. Cyclists under 16 must wear a helmet by law; ages 16 and up helmets are recommended but are not required by law. And we will enjoy a ride escort by officers of the Pensacola Police Department.

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

SEPT 13 - 22, 2024
A MAINSTAGE PRODUCTION

WRITTEN BY ROBERT BOLT

DIRECTED BY JEFF GLICKMAN

A Man For All Seasons is a captivating historical drama originally set in 16th-century England during the reign of King Henry VIII. This production will transport the story to the Cold War era, offering a unique perspective on the timeless themes of morality and political struggle.

The play delves into the moral and political challenges faced by Sir Thomas More, a devout Catholic and loyal subject of the King. As Henry VIII, driven by his desire to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, clashes with the Catholic Church, he demands unwavering loyalty from his subjects.

Amidst the political turmoil of the mid-20th century, More refuses to endorse Henry's divorce and breaks with the Pope, citing his conscience and principles. Despite pressure from friends, family, and the King, Moore remains steadfast in his beliefs, ultimately leading to his downfall.
