Got to learn allot at this place and see some amazing artifacts. It even kept my 17 year old nephew entertained. They also have a locals discount witch was nice & a neat gift shop as well.
If you want to see some real treasure that spent time at the bottom of the ocean this is the place to go. You can even buy some next door if you have some real deep pockets. Loved seeing all the stuff. Price of admission is fair imo for a Key West attraction and what you get to see.
Where the past meets the present! Come see where my Lorelei was created. Learn about Shipwrecks from the modern day dive masters.
Very interesting museum. Countless number of treasures from shipwrecks discovered by Mel Fisher. I knew Mel a little bit, quite the character. He owes me for something, it's a funny story, but he owes me
Very interesting. Takes 1 1/2 hours if you read everything. If you like treasure hunting stories, this is a good one. More for adults.
For my family, it cost $55. Normally, I wouldn't be to happy with that anyway, but this place was a pile of nothing. We walked every corner saying "We must have missed something! It couldn't be this lame." Unfortunately, it was. Save your time and walk around some stores instead.
There are a lot of cool treasures to see here. Each exhibit has extensive information for those who like to spend their time reading everything! The upstairs includes a photographer's large portfolio of stunning black and white photographs of Cuba. Highly recommend for those without very young children as there is a lot to see, not touch.
Fun and informative. Toutchpad a real gold bar made from treasure!
Great for divers and history buffs alike. The many, many artifacts and rare objects that can be found in the museum are a sight to see. Prepare for a LONG stop if you want to read and absorb every piece of information they have to share
Disappointingly underwhelming. Especially for $15.
I got the annoying phone thing for two extra dollars because many of the displays have no information cards, so if you want to learn anything about them you have to listen to it, but it will only mention one item in a full display case.
Just go to the museum shop. It has about as many artifacts in it.
The slave trade exhibit is the exact same images and stories you saw every year in your gradeschool textbooks, hardly worth climbing the stairs for. If you do, though, the piracy exhibit is fortunately worth a couple minutes, but it is freezing up there.
Fascinating Treasure-Hunting History. Easy to get around. Also contains a section devoted to the little-known history of.Slave Trading in the Caribbean..
I loved the displays and stories that went with them about the fabulous gold treasures that were discovered off the Florida coast. I also spent time in the store and purchased artifacts from other wrecks that they have discovered. All in all, a very worthwhile place to visit when in Key West.
