Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Any fan of Hemingway or American history needs this tour on your bucket list... Any fan of classic architecture, lush gardens and old fashioned decor will also love this place. Cat lovers? You'll be in heaven. Allergies for cats? Try the Butterfly observatory instead 😉 You will see it all, where he slept, ate, relaxed and most importantly, his writing studio with typewriters in place... 10 outa 10!!

    Although the beach is narrow and rocky, I luv it here, they have a small snack bar and clean bathrooms, sunsets are beautiful. Added bonus of a wedding on the beach today- beautiful
    Would recommend and can’t wait to return

    I got free admission because it was my birthday, which was incredibly kind and appreciated. It's a terrific butterfly/nature house, with so many butterflies, birds, and some beautiful flamingos. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

    Mallory Square delivers on the Trip Advisor tip. We went there and enjoyed the restaurants, shopping, and perusing the harbor, and just enjoyed the whole experience of being in Key West. So much to do in the Mallory Square area. Very friendly people and easy access for all pedestrians. Wish we could be there more often.

    We visited the Little White House in Key West and were thrilled to read about the story of how presidents and other dignitaries arrived at this special place to have meetings about presidential topics and real-life problems that existed all over the world. Nice piece of history that should not be missed.

    We were thrilled to visit Duval Street in Key West. There are so many restaurants, pubs, live music going on, shopping, and so much more. You can walk, bike, or use your car, to peruse the area. So many things to do. From Lighthouses, to museums, to historic houses, are just some of the things to do. So many shops and vendors, you will find something for everyone.

    Bucket list item- definitely drive it once. Beware there are traffic cops/speed traps everywhere and a lot of decoy cop cars without cops in them. There are a lot of older, broken down bridges in the way of photography opportunities. I wouldn’t do it again, but glad we drove it once to experience it.
