Things to do with kids in Key West
15 places
- 1. Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S.A.Expect a line for photos at this iconic concrete buoy where wait times often exceed thirty minutes in the sun. It is a quick five-minute stop once you reach the front, best suited for older kids who can handle a stationary wait for a family souvenir photo.
- 2. The Hemingway Home and MuseumThe main draw for kids here is the large population of polydactyl cats roaming the gardens. The guided tours last about thirty minutes and are informative, but the narrow staircases mean strollers should be left behind in favor of carriers for toddlers.
- 3. Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park BeachThis park offers a rocky beach and a historic fort that kids can explore on foot. Bring water shoes for the shore and plan for a two to three-hour visit; the shade from the pine trees provides a necessary break from the heat for younger children.
