"I have not taken a picture here since I was little, so coming back and taking a picture with my own children was very special. There was a line at the time and we waited about 15 minutes or so. Definitely worth it. We met other families and we all took turns taking pictures for each other."

"Fun experience and worth every penny. We had a fantastic experience walking the grounds. We took the tour and had Brian as our guide. After we were able to speak with the grounds keeper who maintains the gardens. Both were very knowledgeable, and you can tell they love what they do. What we feared would be a tourist trap turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip."

"Visiting The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory was truly a magical experience. The moment you step inside, you are transported to a tropical paradise filled with hundreds of colorful butterflies flitting around you. The conservatory is beautifully designed and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, making for a truly enjoyable experience.
One of the highlights of the visit was the butterfly feeding station, where you can watch these beautiful creatures up close as they sip nectar from flowers. It was a wonderful opportunity to observe their delicate wings and vibrant colors.
In addition to the butterflies, there are also several other species of birds and exotic plants to admire. The conservatory has a peaceful and serene atmosphere, which makes it the perfect place to relax and take in the natural beauty around you.
The staff are incredibly passionate about their work, and it's evident in the care and attention they give to the butterflies and the conservation efforts they support. They are happy to answer any questions and provide interesting facts about the different species in the conservatory.
Overall, visiting The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory was an unforgettable experience. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit to witness the beauty of these magnificent creatures and their natural habitat. I highly recommend it for nature lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful and enchanting escape."

"Another must see site here in Key West. Our Tour Guide was Charlotte Strickland and she was excellent and had a full history of the Fort and it's use over several wars that involved the United States, starting with the Civil War. All of the Civil War Guns are authentic to the Fort, and the history of how they were discovered buried around the Fort is pretty unique. They only do the Guided Tour once a day, at 11:00 AM, so don't miss it, give yourself some extra time to drive in because mostly like there will be some length of line to pay and enter. The cost to drive in is between $5-$10 depending on how many people are on your car. Walk-ins are only $1.00 and those on a bike, $2.00. The best part is you can use the parking ticket all day, so you can come back later and catch beautiful sunsets like we did overlooking the ocean. After the Tour which was about 60 minutes we walked over to the Beach Cafe and had Lunch overlooking the Ocean Front. Good service and food at the Cafe, plus Beer and Wine. Oh, did I forget to mention that the fee included access to the State Park and awesome Beach, the Southern Most Beach in the United States. This is a complete win for anyone who comes to Key West, history, cool beach, most beautiful water, a State Park with benches and shady areas to enjoy the day, and awesome sunsets that you will always remember.

"If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Words to live by this museum was a pretty fun experience. I learned quite a bit and our tour guide, Greg M., was extremely informative and pleasant. The property is very well maintained and there are a lot of cool details to look at, facts to read. The outdoors had some beautiful flowers and the grounds are very pretty to walk around or even have celebrations. President Truman made some tough choices and not everyone likes someone who goes against the grain, but now, everyone may see differently. Definitely a lot of respect for him and a big thank you to everyone who keeps this place going so generations can continue to enjoy it and learn."

"A very interesting stop that’s certainly worth the stop. Nicely maintained Keepers House where the museum is located. Found the rooms highlighting Florida Coastal Lighthouses, especially the information on General Meade’s contributions to be very interesting. The economic history of Key West was also extremely well presented.
The climb to the top of the lighthouse (88 steps) is not recommended for some. We encountered a couple of people who turned around and came back down after only a little bit of climbing. The spiral staircase is very tight. Two landings along the climb allow for passage, but they are the only places people can pass. Observe the ‘one way’ traffic up on the viewing walkway at the top - room is tight up there also. The views are worth the climb."

"I remember hearing about Mel Fisher's amazing discovery of the Atocha shipwreck when I was a kid, so I was excited to visit the museum and see many of the artifacts in person.
The museum is located near Mallory Square across from the Opal Key resort, and it is the perfect place to spend a couple hours inside especially if the weather turns rainy in Key West.
We purchased our tickets just inside the main door and I think the price was around $17 for adults plus I think we paid $1 or so extra to use a guided headset that tells more about the displays. I was happy to see that we could pay with a credit card - unlike the Ernest Hemingway house which only takes cash.
One of the displays is a short video around 15 minutes long or so that tells a bit about Mel Fisher and his discovery of the Atocha. Throughout the museum there are various artifacts including coins, gold, silver, jewelry, chains, and cannonballs. There are many wall panels containing historic information about the ship, the history of the area, and even pirates.
I enjoyed my visit to this museum and recommend it if you have a couple extra hours in Key West."

"Sara gave a great Tank Talk while we were there! We learned about a few different types of conchs and chocolate chip star fish. We loved walking by each tank and looking at each setup. There was even a coral nursery which is very important. You can order ahead online and get a combined ticket with the shipwreck museum at a discount. They even said it would get you a two day admission but we went yesterday and we're heading back to Tampa today.

"The shipwreck museum is a cool little piece of history on the different journeys and ventures to the Florida Keys from sail ships over in England. It has many artifacts that have been recovered from divers over the years. You feel like you're in an old ship but beware it does have a musky underground odor at times in the beginning of the trip especially. There are a few videos to watch along the way. The history is neat. You can touch a few things inside. The best part for sure was climbing to the top of the tower at the end. Gives you a great view probably the best on the island next to the lighthouse because you're closer to the water here. I'd go for that alone again."

"It seems odd to review a cemetery, but this is a must see when touring Key West. Sad but interesting to see the above ground burials and the varying levels of caretaking and the breadth of people who have been laid to rest here. You will experience a range of emotions as you walk from the section where 59 unknown babies were sponsored and buried, to the section where many adorned their placards with verses that will make you laugh (ex: “I always said I would own a small piece of land in The Keys”). Well worth an hour or so of your time."

"Awesome experience! Our pilot Damien was top notch, very professional and friendly. I thought I might be nervous as it was my first time in a helicopter but not at all. It was exciting taking off and very calming during the ride. Beautiful scenery surrounded by turquoise waters. We even saw a shark down below as we flew out further over the ocean! Great way to see the Keys from a birds eye view. Smooth landing also. Highly recommend!!"

"This is actually my second trip with Key West Seaplane Adventures and it was as awesome as the first I did a few years ago! We did a half-day excursion to Dry Tortugas National Park (the last one of the day) on 11/21 and basically had the entire island to ourself since the ferry was leaving as we landed. While more expensive, the sea plane is so worth it - especially as someone who gets seasick easily. 30-40 minutes of travel time each way vs 2.5-3 hours, plus the aerial views and experience of landing/taking off on the water is really cool. Britt was our pilot and did a wonderful job sharing insight and facts along the way and made sure each side of the plane had great photo opps. It was rainy (obviously not something anyone could control) but we were just glad we were able to go and had a great time regardless! Very convenient to have snorkel gear and drinks taken care of for us even though due to the rain, we didn’t end up snorkeling. We really enjoyed spending our time on the island exploring all the levels of the fort. The park is definitely a bucket list item and the team at Key West Seaplane Adventures was so helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the experience!"

All pieces are created by a husband and wife team that live in the area and occasionally come in. The shop clerk Sue was extremely knowledgeable of the technique and dye applications. She also didn’t force you to purchase and gave you space to mull over even if that meant coming back or placing an order over the phone. I purchased and had my piece shipped. It arrived maybe due to location, 48 hours later. Considering purchase a much larger piece but first need to figure out where it will go."

I lost my sunglasses (which were very expensive) at the cruise and had to go back again next day. The captain told me that one of the staff found it and I got it back! Big shout out to the staff who found it, the captain, Big Steve, and the entire crew for being so kind , helpful and their spot on hospitality !! I would recommend this cruise to everyone. You can enjoy and have a great time !"

"What a treat. If you want a chill time seeing the sunset in Key West, this is the place. You won’t be elbow to elbow trying to get a drink or getting a good position to see an incredible sun while setting. Steve the captain and Chris his first mate will get you the best view while having a cold refreshing drink in your hand. The music selection and volume allows you to talk without having to raise your voice. The price is more than reasonable. 👍🙏"

"I've been to Key West many times. This was my first sunset cruise! We absolutely loved our time on the catamaran. No one booked with us so we had the entire vessel to ourselves. A private tour! Captain Jack & First Mate Smalls made our group of six feel really special. FM Smalls answered our questions about the island and C Jack provided a very smooth sail. I wish I had taken pictures of the beautiful fruit platter FM Smalls prepared. Fresh pineapple, orange slices & strawberries. We will definitely take this trip again! A can't miss voyage!"

"Relaxing and Beautiful Time on the Tiki's. We love taking a trip on the Cruisin' Tikis in Key West. We've done this many times and know we'll do it many times more. Crew is always friendly and make the trip such a memorable one. This is a must do here in Key West and as a local I highly recommend doing this over the other sunset cruises...it's more of an intimate time and you're night crowded like on the big touristy sunset cruises."

"We booked this trip sort of on a whim, and boy am I glad we did!!! The boat was beautiful, and very well taken care of. The crew was exceptional! They let the kids be a part of the sailing experience by setting the sails, steering the boat, and playing the roll as pirates. Even though the entire crew was fantastic, I’m going to give a special shout-out to my daughters new bestie, Elio. She was hands down the person who made the boat ride a memorable and special adventure for my kids, and even us big kids. Thanks Elio🏴☠️❤️
The cannons were a lot of fun, everyone loved it.. even the other boats out on the water, and to top it all off… nothingggggg beats that sunset out on the water, with the salty breeze hitting your face, and the sound of water gently splashing up against the side of the boat.
Thank you Bill, Captain, and Crew! We’ll see ya again."

"Thanks for another great sunset cruise! We have been on three sunset cruises with Captain Ricky and crew. Enjoy a nice relaxing cruise with free wine, beer, champagne and mimosas. We had approximately 20 people on board so we had plenty of room to relax and visit with other on board and the crew. As we sailed around an watched the sunset we enjoyed some nice music. As a bonus we watched a couple dolphins sail along with us as we headed back to port."

"The sunset cruise totally exceeded our expectations and from booking to boarding to the finish, we were looked after superbly. Both the champagne and wine we were served throughout was of an excellent quality and the nibbles, both fresh and tasty, and expertly served by the crew.
Above all the talented crew of Janet, Lexi and Rae delivered an absolutely stupendous sunset cruise, exhilarating yet comfortable, which is indelibly etched on our memories.
Thank you

"What a great experience. They limited our tour to 14 adults, which was the perfect amount for the boat. The staff were incredibly kind, Sierra (I believe that was her name) was awesome and kept the glasses filled the entire trip. There was an vast array of beverages to pick from…champagne, beer, red and white wines all readily available. The sunset itself was epic and the boat was the perfect vessel in which to view it. Highly recommend this company and trip."

"We had the best time. Morgan was an excellent captain. The price was great for the six of us. The boat does have a small bathroom which is nice to have just in case. They provided a large cooler and ice. We were able to bring our own drinks and snacks. The ride out and back was nice and the sandbar was beautiful! The sun chill mat they provided was a nice extra! We will definitely book with them again in the future!!"

"Our first time in Key West so we thought we’d check out a sunset cruise. We had booked one and when we got to the dock to check-in, we decided to upgrade kind of last minute. It was kind of taking a while but the captain was kind enough to wait. The staff was so friendly and did such a great job. The singer was funny and sounded great. Would recommend to anyone considering it!"

"We booked the sunset tour, and as we have not yet mastered how to command the winds we sailed without breeze or chop. Luckily the motor was pretty quiet and it was an enjoyable time on the water. The sun did not disappoint in it’s gorgeous setting-display, we all took advantage of the light and asked the crew to take our picture in the glow of the setting sun, it was just beautiful.
Our crew were friendly, the snacks were delicious, and the beverages delightful. The boat did not sink, we made it back to shore and are still swooning over the pictures of the sunset."

"If you like the road less traveled, this is the sunset cruise for you. This is the opposite of the typical party boat where you have a small group of folks along with a crew of 2. This is a smaller tall mast sailboat with a Capt'n and first mate. The first mate this night was Trish and she was awesome making sure everyone had a fresh drink (many choices) and setting the sails when needed. We were lucky on Sept 17th with calm seas and an awesome sunset. If you are looking for a great experience on a smaller and quiet boat, the Floridays is a great choice"

They had a decent selection of beer and wine (all of which were delicious) and the food that they serve you was incredible. The boat itself is beautiful with a gorgeous lounge interior that is air-conditioned and couches outside on the back of the boat. The front and sides had room to sit so you could comfortably see any view. Amazing experience and I would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to cap off a day with a relaxing sunset cruise around the island."

"Captain Andrew was outstanding. Booking was a breeze and was able to accommodate a same-day booking for a sunset trip. Andrew's knowledge of the waters and area makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Then when you get to the sandbar your breath is taken away. As he states there is nothing between you and the sunset until Texas. Pictures do this trip no justice. I WILL be coming back again."

"My wife Amanda and I just stepped off the boat, it was a 50th birthday present to her and did not disappoint! Steve was a great Captain chatting with Amanda up on the fly bridge for the ride out. With in 10 minutes of Adam setting up we were on the Mahi. Caught a little throw back Jack and a few throw back Mahi but had a couple good keepers for dinner. Even hooked a juvenile sailfish right at the end that spot the bait out. Luckily he surfaced for me so Adam and I were able to identify him. Perfect 4 hours. Thank you so much guys!"

"What a fantastic way to literally end a Key West day! Everything from start to finish was top rate! The crew were super friendly and so accommodating! We loved that this was a smaller more chill opportunity on an amazing sailboat without the thumping party vibe and motor. We enjoyed mingling with other sunset enthusiasts while being served delicious wine and appetizers. The crew - Tony, Brianna, and Conner were outstanding! Friendly and so much fun! While they were very hard at work, they moved around so seamless. From safety, to comfort, to enjoyment...this team had it covered! Mallory Square is definitely a beauty for the sunset but out on the water is just stunning. I can't think of a better way to enjoy than with Danger Charters! We will definitely book with them again! We chase sunsets all around the world - thanks crew for giving us a front row seat to a VERY memorable one!"

The boat was spacious and there was enough room for all of our belongings and for our beverages. Raquel was attentive and made sure we were comfortable. We went to two different sand bars and got a chance to see dolphins, stingrays, puffer fish and some trials off the mangroves! I highly recommend!"

"What a lovely experience visiting the Hemingway House and Museum. Our tour started walking through the lush garden area and it was not long before we realized how much cats were a part of the experience. Yes, we saw 6-toed cats, cats on his bed, the cat house, and the cat cemetery. The home was beautiful and contained many old items. Our tour guide gave us one of the best tours I think I’ve ever experienced. He was pleasant, informative, and downright funny. I strongly recommend taking the walking guided tour. The 30 minutes is well worth it."
