Discover more than 4,000 artifacts and over 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard aviation. Enjoy the thrill of flight in the Flight Simulators, catch all the drama and power of the amazing Giant Digital Screen Theater, and refuel for lunch in the authentic Cubi Bar Café. Then gear up and take home the spirit of Naval Aviation with a unique memento from the Flight Deck Store. The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Navy require visitors 18 and older to show a single government-issued identification card. State-issued driving licenses and passports are acceptable. Public access to NAS Pensacola will be available from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. through the West Gate only.

Can somebody provide an advice how I as a dutch citizen can visit the museum? I do not have family or friends that can act as an escort. Does that mean that access for foreigners is completely impossible? Thanks Theo (Netherlands)

I am not 100% sure about foreigners, but the Naval Base has two sets of gates. The gates on the west side of the installation allows visitors without DOD ID to visit the museum/national seashore site, and lighthouse. In order to continue past those attractions, at the second set of gates, you would need to have a DOD ID. From what I understand, this policy was suspended for the last few years, but is once again available for visitors.

Q:
With the new entrance requirements for the museum, as a person visiting from Canada, it says you need to be accompanied by someone with DoD clearance. Are there local operators with the necessary clearance that will escort you onto the base for a fee, kinda like a tourguide? I would think there must be some local entrepreneurs helping out foreign visitors by now, I really want to go there!!
A:
I do not know the definitive answer to the question. It is a great museum and if you are already in the area, it is worth a try. They check your documents at the perimeter entrance gate. I …

Q:
Can you now get entrance to the museum and grounds with just driver's license? I had heard it was closed to non military because of Fbi investigation. We have planned our whole trip to Florida on this museum.
A:
We just tried to access the base with Real ID complaint drivers licenses, but no military IDs. All non-military are turned away, even at the West Gate.
