I’ll be cruising to the Bahamas and Florida next week and one of the ports of call is
Key West. I’m looking forward to finding
a restaurant for an al fresco seafood lunch, an afternoon of strolling in and
out of the many specialty boutiques and a quick visit to the Hemingway
house. It will be just my husband and
myself but it got me wondering, if we were traveling with children would there
be kid-friendly things to do? The answer is yes, absolutely!
The Conch Train: Most
people take this wonderful little train to get a better lay of the land, and
become acquainted with everything in Key West. The "engineers" are
entertaining and have so much interesting information to share. But kids just love the ride while waving to
people they pass along the way!
Shipwreck Treasure Museum: This is a multi-media
experience. Actors dressed in period
costumes, films, audio visual aids and actual shipwreck treasure give guests an
interesting perspective on the life of shipwreck salvage operators. Kids will
love climbing the tower at the top of the museum for a spectacular view of KeyWest and the surrounding area.
Key West Aquarium: This is small, friendly aquarium that you
can get through in a couple of hours. It’s a nice place to see sharks, local
fish, rays, and get some education about the local waters. Frequent feedings
and interactive events really keep the kids engaged.
