National Naval Aviation Museum Details: (Parking Lot Viewing Only)
If you have base access (refer to section above for requirements), practices may be viewed from the National Naval Aviation Museum parking lot with sound system and narrator.
Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum Details:
Viewing the practice from the balcony of the Pensacola Lighthouse, 130 feet off the ground, is an experience that you won’t soon forget! Be aware that these tickets go on sale in the Spring each year and sell out very fast! Visit their website for more information.
Target Store -or- Wal Mart (parking lot) Details:
Can’t enter the base? Want a low-key place to watch without navigating the crowds that are often found at the National Naval Aviation Museum? Target & Wal Mart are great locations! The stores are located at 2950 S. Blue Angel Parkway, Pensacola, Florida 32506 -or- 2951 S. Blue Angel Parkway. You can easily arrive to these locations 15-30 minutes prior to the demonstration beginning. While in the parking lot, make sure that you don’t impede the flow of traffic.
Fort Pickens (National Park) Details:
Are you looking for a zoomed-out, wide-angle view of the Blue Angels demonstration? Fort Pickens is a great option for you! The Fort is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore and charges an entrance fee of $25 per car. This area gets crowded and should consider arriving 60-90 minutes prior to the demonstration beginning.
