[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Key West felt like a long drive from Key Largo. I would not do it as a day trip. I would probably just skip it. [/quote]

I went to Key West with my four year old.  In the morning.  Such a bar scene there.  It just felt like magically being transported to the morning after a frat party.  I mean, it's interesting, but there's not much there for a kid.  Or a parent of a small child, honestly.[/quote]

Wholeheartedly disagree. If you stick only to Duval street - well, yeah, it's a lot of bars. But if you exert even a modicum of adventurous attitude, there's tons to do.

- The Butterfly and Nature Conservancy is amazing and even has two roving flamingos. Kids love it! https://keywestbutterfly.com/
- The aquarium https://www.keywestaquarium.com/
- Climb the lighthouse - 88 steps for an incredible view! https://www.kwahs.org/key-west-lighthouse-keepers-quarters/
- Check out the Southernmost Point & Mile 0 signs for photo ops
- The Shipwreck museum https://www.keywestshipwreck.com/
- Rent bikes or a golf cart and cruise the town
- Stroll through the Truman Annex and the Winter White House (the real one)
- Visit the polydactyl cats at the Hemingway House
- Sunset in Mallory Square watching the street performers
- plenty of places where you can listen to live music while eating lunch or dinner - try Hank's/Garbo's or Schooner Wharf for a start
- collect shells and play at Fort Zachary Taylor Beach (and tour the fort)
- wander the streets and look at houses, gardens, art galleries, etc. 
- So much good family friendly food. Try Blue Heaven or Banana Cafe or Moondog
- go down to the marina near Conch Republic and marvel at the yachts!

There's so much to do. My family loves it there. [/quote]
