I really enjoyed this museum and I have to start off by saying it definitely deserves five stars …read more The reason I cannot give it five stars is because it was so uncomfortably warm inside that we reached a point where we just had to get out of there. It's a shame because there is so much to see here, but we probably missed out on at least an 1/8 of the museum because we were sweating and felt so icky we just needed to get back out into the fresh air. This was in winter mind you, so saying that it was just too hot outside is no excuse. It was only around 68 degrees at the hottest point of the day we visited and we came in the morning so leaving the museum was literally a breath of fresh air. I cannot imagine how it gets in the summer. Although the temperature made us miss some of the museum, we made sure to get through all the cars before leaving. We spent around 2 hours here and could easily have stayed longer. This is not just a quick walk-through car museum. It's packed wall to wall, upstairs and downstairs, with cars, collectibles, Americana and lots of really unexpected items. I love rare and classic vehicles so seeing a tucker 48 in person was pretty cool. That alone made my day. The Oldsmobile futuramic 88 was another favorite and the limo that had been converted into a train car was just wild in the best way and blew my mind. You definitely don't see cars like this everyday. It's not just cars here though, they had a golden rococo style piano that was to die for! It was absolutely stunning. There were a bunch of gorgeous ornate antique cash registers that I really liked, interesting vintage radios, firearms, law enforcement badges, sports memorabilia and historical stuff like old medical equipment. They had a whole section of model trains and if you're into Batman they have a small section of vehicles dedicated to that. The bathroom was small but tidy and the employees were were quiet and perfunctory. It's also dog friendly, which is lovely but our dog did seem nervous walking on some of the matting on some sections of the floor so just be aware. On its face, this really is a five-star museum but the heat and humidity inside were just unexpected, and it was especially bad upstairs. We were sweating and physically uncomfortable. We really wanted to finish looking at the museum but we just couldn't take it anymore. I really hope they address the climate issue; not just for guests but for the preservation of all the items inside as well. It's was still def worth the $20 per person and I recommend a visit, just dress in layers and maybe start upstairs first.

Closed For Renovations Until Late 2026…read more Since Yelp requires at least 85 characters...blah, blah, blah, blah.

Great place! Friendly staff. Free parking. Nice cool A/C…read more You can donate and they have suggested donation numbers, but you're not forced to. It's actually bigger than I thought, so lots to explore. I was there during the alligator exhibit which was very neat. There was a life-size alligator in there and that was how I learned how big alligators really are! The gift shop sold gator sticks so I thought that was interesting

This place is truly at the heart of what the forgotten coast is all about. This little place here…read moreon our gorgeous, forgotten coast is dedicated to so many invaluable missions when it comes to taking care of and preserving land as well as the creatures that dwell here whether they be on the land, in the sea or most comfortable in the air. It's very clear that everybody working here has such a heart and a passion for the reptiles, marine life, animals, birds, that they help in represent here in the community. This annual fundraiser for Gulf Specimen Marine Lab is such a fun way for all of us to try to drum up awareness & support for the mission here while getting to have a wonderful time playing dress up & bidding on really cool things at the silent auction. This year alone in our area they helped take care of hundreds of stunned sea turtles when the weather got well below what it typically is persistently for this area and that mission alone is more than worth heading over for a visit getting to learn about the wildlife in this area and supporting their endeavors! Not to mention the fact that there are so many, very interactive ways for both adults and kids to be entertained here while learning about our local wildlife & conservation!

We love it here, we visit every time we vacation at the beach. My kids love seeing all the sea life…read moreup close. I wish when you were walking in they gave more instructions and required parents to watch small children closely as there are many touch tanks were small children could hurt the sea life. Probably not ideal for the animals, and the touch tanks and looking tanks are set up the same so kids are tempted to dip their hands in all of the tanks. It's a cool experience but I could see why people are concerned for the sea life that call this lab home.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Goodwood Museum & Gardens. This was my first visit to the museum…read more The Invisible Lives effort to prioritize telling the stories of enslaved individuals brought to this museum and I'm so glad I came. Everyone who played a part in the tour was excellent and you could tell that they really wanted to tell the story well and recognized the injustice that was taking place at the time. We were able to see so much of the property, including a staircase that was used by the enslaved Africans and possible other servants during slavery days. They also have a nice gift shop area with some super cute items.

The staff working at the plantation were all very nice and informative. I've been to many…read moreplantations and it's the first time that I haven't been able to go into the house unless I partake in the tour. I really did not mind at all to pay and have free range of the house but I was not allowed in unless I took the tour. This is not convenient for people that are on a time crunch or tourist that speak little to no English and don't care for a spoken tour. It has been my experience that in these old houses and plantations, there is always an attendant in the house ready to answer questions but you have free reign. Most of these houses have placards or guided tours over prerecorded phone calls. It was a big waste of time and gas because the main attraction is definitely the house.

I really like this museum, it's beautiful and informative. I found something very comical but…read moretypical of the 1800's. You will notice that there is a painting of Richard Keith Call, young and old; and in both he has brunet features. But when they made the hand painted ambrotybe photograph, they gave him blond hair instead of giving him white hair, and it looks so out of place. The grounds are vast and delightful to take a stroll in. You will also find the plantation family's cemetery on the grounds. I highly recommend this museum, it'll take you right into the past. The staff are nice and hospitable. They will accommodate you by accompanying you to the basement if you are in a hurry and cannot participate in the walk-in tour.

Attended a showing of a documentary involving a local hero - Purple Heart recipient Colonel…read moreWashington Sanchez, Jr. Great turnout of folks, good conversations, well-done piece of work. The IMAX staff was wonderful; very accommodating. It has been quite a number of years since I last visited the IMAX Theater to catch a show. I didn't remember how cramped the seating was :o), though the seats themselves are comfortable. Once seated, best to stay seated until the show is over; otherwise, it will be quite a task to get out, especially if one is seated in the middle of the row and the row is completely filled. All in all though, aside from the tiny inconvenience regarding the lack of space between seat rows, I think everyone pretty much enjoyed the show and the setting. Note, the documentary is on Youtube as well! I also want to give a "shout out" to Mission BBQ for providing a complimentary meal for those attending the documentary. The food was delicious; the meal consisted of: coleslaw, baked beans with brisket, mac and cheese, sausage, pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, buns - along with tea (sweet and non-sweet), lemonade, and water! Thanks so much Mission BBQ!

Mid-sized IMAX screen, sufficient and comfortable seating, smallish concession stand…read more All in all, just the right size for our population. I've never been to a sold-out event here and, frankly, I often forget this is an option. That said, it's the best screen in the county - and if you're really looking for the larger-than-life experience, this screen yields a beautiful IMAX experience. It's no Warren Theaters IMAX - but then again - there's only one of those (in Wichita, not in NYC!).

You begin your tour from the visitors center, where you pay admissions ($5.50 pp for the grounds & $16pp for the main house tour), watch a historical video on the plantation, and view the exhibits. Since we drove up from Panama City Beach, FL we only had time to tour the grounds, not the main house. We spend a couple hours touring the grounds and still didn't see everything. So much to see! The stables were really cool! We met a nice lady feeding the draft horses and she introduced us to all the horses and mules. She told us stories about them...you can tell the animals there are really cared for and loved. The front of the main house and gardens are gorgeous! There are fountains and bird baths throughout. We also enjoyed walking through the family cemetery...nicely manicured and very serene. The dog hospital, nurse's station, and log cabin schoolhouse were buildings we're not used to seeing on plantations. They were all so interesting. Overall we really enjoyed our time here. Would highly recommend!
