Come dressed in Halloween costumes, get your Trick-or-Treat candy, and prepare to be scared! We're ready to celebrate Halloween under the night sky in our inflatable planetarium. Join us for a fun and scary night of monster stories, inspired by our planets, moons, and stars. There will be stories of familiar monsters (werewolves, vampires, and minotaurs), unfamiliar monsters (Karakondzula, Chimera, and Coatlicue), and the heroes who battled them. In a battle between good and evil, who will win?

Join our 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. show for family-friendly stories about the creepy creatures of mythology hidden in the night sky. These showings are appropriate for ages 5-6 and up. Our 7 p.m. Spooktacular Show is more appropriate for ages 8 and up as the tales told during this show are spookier.

All shows last approximately 45 minutes.

Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Space is limited. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. 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.

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.

Pensacola’s historic downtown streets—aglow with more than half a million white lights—form a magical backdrop for Winterfest, an iconic celebration that kicks off on November 6th and ends Christmas eve, offering up a multitude of live performances, trolley tours, cascades of “snow,” visits with Santa and more.

This year, Winterfest has a brand new tour, “Christmas Tree Heist”! The trolley tour takes guests on a tour of Whoville when suddenly, news of the Grinch stealing Christmas trees breaks, and the trolley is hijacked to hunt him down.

Hosted by MGM College Services, this virtual event is being held Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024, from 11 am to 2 pm CST as a bridge between high school and college. With a direct focus on 2024 high school graduates, college freshmen, and their parents, the organizer, Marilyn Gilbert-Mitchell, strongly encourages high school students and supportive adults to attend and prepare early.

According to Gilbert-Mitchell, a veteran educator and college access professional, “so often parents and students focus on scholarships, which is an enormous concern for many families, yet they start the process late and overlook other critical parts of college success. That is a major reason speakers will share Academic Tools & Campus Support for Success; Campus and Home Safety; and Mental and Physical Wellness. Added this year are discussions on multiple benefits of being multilingual, family insights on military benefits for education and careers, and going beyond scholarships to pay for college.

As every year, this conference is for the entire family with topics, resources, and action steps for everyone. Presenters are experts in their fields with roles and experiences across ages, levels, and demographics. Panelists include over 60 years of combined experience as educators, a decorated lieutenant with the Chicago Fire Department, and board-certified family nurse practitioner.

As colleges shift their focus areas, expand or eliminate programs, and increase college costs in this post-pandemic environment, millions of students, especially those in underserved and overlooked schools and communities need more access, preparation, and practice preparing for college, career, and life success.

Families are encouraged to attend the conference and afterwards have a family discussion to extend the conference experience and discuss college and career goals.

Registration is free and open now at https://collegetransitionconf2024.eventbrite.com.
