Florida Keys attractions and museums

Explore museums, wildlife centers, historic sites, visitor attractions and educational stops across the island chain.

Plan with confidence

The Keys offer more than water activities. Historic homes, maritime exhibits, wildlife rehabilitation, local art and cultural sites can anchor a hot, windy or rainy part of the day.

Admission, tour times and accessibility differ by venue. Confirm the current schedule, especially for guided experiences and animal programs with limited capacity.
