bflowercar Posted July 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi! I’m taking our 13 y/o daughter on a mom/daughter trip - this is one of our ports of call - any suggestions on excursions? We like to do pretty much anything - but haven’t found a great excursion we are really excited about! Thanks so much! Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywester33 Posted July 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Without knowing your interests here are some general ideas: Visit the Butterfly Conservatory Visit the Eco Discovery Center. Visit the Aquarium Climb to the top of the Lighthouse. Take a Conch Train tour Visit the 5 toed cats at the Hemingway House Go Kayaking Rent bikes and explore town Have a Spa day Eat lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted July 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I also agree with the Butterfly Conservatory. The Eco-Discovery Museum is free and has a lovely short movie abput the reefs and marine life around the Keys. Take the free boat out to Sunset Key and eat at Latitudes. The view is glorious. You will need to make reservations for the boat through the Margaritaville Hotel concierge. Ride the Conch Train for an open air over all look at Key West. Walk along the scenic fishing, yacht and tour boat piers of Key West Harbor and dine in any one of several popular dockside restaurants there. Walk up Duval Street. You may find some interesting shops, art galleries and restaurants. There is a Coach Outlet store. If you are history buffs, check out the Truman Winter White House. It is a nostalgic walk into the 1950s. If you like water adventure take, one of the jet ski tours around the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_krynicki Posted July 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2018 You could fit in a day sail on the Jolly II Rover ---> http://schoonerjollyrover.com/ It's BYO so popular for families with younger children. Pjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pjk Totally agree. We have had a great time on the Jolly II Roger. Love the red sails. As an aside, the Jolly II Rover is sailing past the sunset in my son's wedding pictures, so we have a special sentimental connection to that ship.
