I live in Key West and applaud you for this list. The only suggestion I would make is that, if you are only here for a couple days and want to see as much as possible and learn about our great history, take the Conch Train. For a set price, you can get on and off the train (actually a tram, all over the city; or stay on the train to learn lots of details about all the sites you mentioned. Our guests always enjoy this as a morning event. then they go back to the places that interested them the most, later in the day. It's easy to get stuck on Duval Street and miss the tropical beauty and historical building of my home. Again, thank you for this well thought out and beautiful list of things to do in Key West.

Great short, informative, and to the point video. Things you left off were Smather's beach, The Key West Aquarium, The Key West shell warehouse, the cemeteries, and Mel Fisher's sunken treasure museum featuring treasure from the Atocha shipwreck, which was the most valuable shipwreck ever discovered. Even though you did mention Duval street, but you didn't mention Fantasy fest, which is the biggest attraction of the year in Key West. Also, while mentioning the Mallory dock sunset experience, you didn't mention all of the different wild and interesting acts that goes along with it, giving it a circus-carnival like atmosphere and experience.

I've been to The Rock numerous times for over 2 decades and have to say you did it right, EXCEPT for the part about scooters. We don't recommend them, as they are expensive, not easy to park for free, most people are not familiar with them, get in accidents (one rider hit my car last year) and they make a lot of noise, which isn't cool in Old Town. Rent a bicycle for about $14/ day and you can park for free just about anywhere. Be sure to use lights at night and try to stay off the busy streets during the rush hours. Nothing better in Key West than riding a bike down a quiet street.

A great book to read about the wreckers of Key West is The Young Wrecker on the Florida Reef by Richard Meade Bache. It is a fictional story but is written by a famous explorer of the southeast US coastline whose family are like US royalty in the study of this area of the country. It was recommended by the wrecking museum and I would recommend it as well!

Love south Florida, and Key West, in particular! My mom and I took a sea plane to Fort Jefferson/Dry Tortugas years ago. So fun! An amazing experience! We did just about everything that you and your dad did. SO glad you both got to take this road trip together!

In Deerfield Massachusetts there is a similar butterfly conservatory called Magic wings. Instead of flamingos they have little fowl walking around. They have poison dart frogs as well and tons of exotic flower cuttings you can buy.

Although not in Key West, one of the best places to visit in the keys and well worth the time is John Pennekamp state park on Key Largo. The glass bottom boat tour to Molasses reef originates from there.

Took my honeymoon there. The island highest elevation is 6, very easy to rent a bicycle and enjoy the amazing weather. Love all your videos. Glad you (and Pops) could make the cross-country journey.

While in Key West, we did a night Haunted Walking Tour. It was so very informative and interesting. We learned about allot of local history and gave us suggestions on sites to visit later.
