Rick was THE BEST tour guide at the museum (aka Asa and very knowledgable). The museum was fun overall and there's an overlook spot up a flight of stairs so you can see a beautiful view of Key West. Rick made the whole experience worth wild and we appreciate it! Thank you so much!!
I have been to the island at least 10 times in the past 2 years, and have gotten numerous pictures and videos of haunting and apparitions at the Shipwreck Museum. The Ghosts and Gravestones Tour is wonderful. I suggest a good camera and taking LOTS of pictures, and then going through them a couple of days later.
Affordable tour. Interesting film to start and lots of old relics and information about the ship wreck history in Key West. The tower really is worth the steps to see the 360° view of KW. Don’t miss the candy bar wreck story at the end.
This was such a fun and informative experience! We loved being able to walk through the exhibits and see all of the educational artifacts throughout the museum.
If you get the trolley hop on and hop off bus for even 1 day, you can get a discounted ticket for this. Honestly, it's not really worth the full price. It was interesting and gives a lot of information about the shipwrecks, but it's pretty quick to get through. However, the tower at the top is worth the beautiful view!
Highly disappointed. It took us under 30 min. It’s two rooms and that is it. I do not recommend this even as a 30 min distraction because the price is so high!
