Man in the Sea Museum - Panama City Beach (FL)

5 /5 Rachael Hudson: This place is super cool. We came on a Thursday late in the morning. They have a bunch of historically significant submarines and submersible containers on site, and quite a lot of interesting artifacts inside. They have a 45 minute documentary you can watch, then walk around and look at all the artifacts. You can even go inside the husk of the Sealab I, which theyve turned into an exhibit.

5 /5 Joven Martinez: A wonderful learning experience for me and my family. We saw the 45 minute video on deep sea exploration and the development of the Sealab projects. My 17 year old really enjoyed it all. We good to enter the original Sealab. OMG! It was so small! Its a small fee for the museum and so worth it if you like diving, the oceans, the Navy or military life/history. If I would have had more room in my suitcase, I would have bought one of the model submarines! Lol

5 /5 William McNeal: Very interesting! One of the less expensive entertainment options in the area. In a tourist area where entertaining a family of 6 cost about $120/hr. This museum was a brief relief on my wallet. Entry fee is very reasonable and the museum is quite interesting/educational with tons of neat things to look at. Could spend about 2 hours here.

5 /5 Alex Fedoryshyn: If you visit Panama City or Panama City Beach, you should visit the Man in the Sea Museum. In about 2 hours, you can see vintage submarines and scuba equipment, as well as artifacts used in the famous SEALAB experiments. You can even walk inside the original SEALAB 1 underwater habitat. There is a documentary that is about 35 minutes long and gives important details about the SEALAB experiments and a Q&A session afterwards that is hosted by a museum staff member. The nice thing about the exhibits is that they are laid out well and have information plaques near them so you can understand what things are even if you are not familiar with diving.

5 /5 Bike Rider: This place is great. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are excited about the history, a really cool collection of helmets (star wars anyone?!) and other artifacts. My wife and I from a more rural, mountainous area and this was a great change of pace from vacation land. We had our puppy in the parking lot and the staff were gracious to invited him in and reassure us that he couldnt hurt anything in there. There is access inside of sealab 2, one diving bell and an old 10,000 leagues style helmet for kids to try out. We were glad we stopped by.
