Join us for a late afternoon summer stroll through downtown Pensacola as we explore the old and new ways that cities can adapt to the higher temperatures and heavier rainfall of our changing climate. Along the way we’ll look at the many features of buildings, streets, and parks that can help keep cities and their inhabitants cooler and more comfortable while using less energy.

Your tour guide is Christian Wagley of the nonprofit group Healthy Gulf. Christian spends much of his time studying the traditional ways that communities were designed and built in harmony with local climate. We’ll walk where it’s hot and where it’s not, compare temperatures in different areas of the city, and see firsthand how the design of cities shapes our energy use and comfort. Participants are encouraged to dress for the heat, with light colored clothing, natural fibers like linen, hats and parasols.

Forecasts from the National Climate Assessment predict hotter summers, more rainfall and stronger hurricanes in the southern U.S. Pensacola and other cities will need to adapt to the changing conditions in order to protect their economies, public health, and quality-of-life.

The Tour begins at Martin Luther King Plaza located in the center of Palafox St—one and a half blocks north of Garden St. The Walking Tour concludes at 5:30 pm.

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.
