Museum of Commerce

Coming from outside of the USA this was a pleasant surprise. A great historical place referencing Pensacola's past. I was here for the Radio Live event and it did not disappoint.

Venue for wedding. Just the right size for a small wedding. Fun and unusual location. Parking was an issue but did not distract from the space.

I actually visited about 15 years ago as a teenager. No other museum has ever left such a huge impression on me and though I had forgotten the name, I did not forget the experience or local history I learned here. It opened up a love of local history that I have carried with me to every single other place I have lived in since then, which has been incredibly rewarding. I’m glad to see it is still around. Next time I’m in town I will have to make a visit.

The trees are beautiful and a fun way to begin the season

The Museum of Commerce is always a pleasure to cater at. It has a great atmosphere and history to it. It's also not at all hard to work in either. I would definitely recommend this spot for events, especially if they're moreso geared towards historical, local, or train themed events.

A terrific display for nostalgia enthusiasts! The information on the signs shared some interesting insights, and the shops and the trolley car inside were all clean and very well-kept.

Awesome preservation of history. One of the only places I can find that displays and gives information on John F. Pfeiffer's (my great great great-grandfather's) bakery. I love seeing the unique little places that made Pensacola what it is today.

So much to see!! Most displays are wheelchair accessible and lots of places to sit a spell. Take the day and introduce yourself to Florida!

We have our annual car club welcome dinner there the evening before our British car show. Also a great venue for wedding reception. Had our daughters reception there. Worked out great. Only hitch is that parking is at a premium.

We held a company retirement party at the Museum of Commerce this week. We easily fit seating for 100 people, tables for food, drinks, a cake, a DJ and gifts and still had plenty of room to move around. We didn't need too many decorations because the atmosphere of the museum is decoration enough. The price is very reasonable compared to other venues in the area. We worked with Anna to set up the event. She was very friendly and courteous, answered all our questions and made sure the process was seamless. One thing to note: set-up and clean-up are on you, so bring plenty of muscle to help set up and break down the tables and chairs. We will definitely consider this venue again when booking company functions. Thank you!

The Museum of Commerce building is a great venue for meetings, weddings, cultural events and festivals. The building also houses the University of West Florida -- Sea3D Additive Manufacturing Laboratory.

Thanks for a step back to a better time. Highly recommend!

We took our daughter for the Autism Pensacola event. The staff are amazing! it was a great time with great people.

Went to the festival of Christmas Trees. Very nice!

Regular entry to the museum is free and open several days of the week and weekend, unless there are events. UWF has teams of students that have set up 3D printing and laser cutting machinery in some rooms of the museum. However, there are still plenty of lovely old shops on display within the antique “city” that is built inside on the museum interior, along with Pensacola’s first traffic light, carriages, and an antique train car. This is a great place for a morning stroll, as it is along the path from Fountain Park to the Pensacola Historic Village, as well as being near a few breweries and restaurants.

Pensacola's enchanted hidden gem, and home to the annual Christmas artisan makers market, Little Spruce Market

Went for an award ceremony and it was a very cute and cozy space. Will be going back to check the museum itself.

Enjoyed a quiet journey through some historic building replicas. Loved the stop light!

Was apart of the Thankful Fall Market and it was an awesome venue and an amazing event!

I am a Pensacola Wedding Planner and I recently planned a beautiful wedding at The Museum of Commerce! It was an honor to have it there because of it's history and unique set-up for wedding ceremonies!
There's really no other place like it! You have to see it to truly appreciate all the wonderful and creative ways it can be set-up for beautiful, fun-filled receptions.
Krystal is the Coordinator of the Museum and is quick to respond, a true joy to work with and very organized and detail-oriented!
Book with The Museum of Commerce for your wedding and you and your guests will love every minute of it!
