Judy is a sweet lady and as the owner of the gallery, she actually cares for the artists she represents. It's always a pleasure to visit the gallery and talk with shoppers and buyers.

Looking for things to do on an overcast day in the keys, we found a few museums in the area and…read moredecided to check out the Florida Keys history museum. First thing is that, yes, there's a big sign on the street to enter but, you feel like you're going the wrong direction after you have to navigate through a resort gate and drive-through what appears to be there maintenance area before arriving at the discovery center. The building itself looks newer and is very large and there's plenty of parking. Upon entering, we had no idea what to expect because we couldn't find the cost of admission anywhere so we had to ask and make the determination if we wanted to go. For $15 per adult and six dollars per student we decided why not. The museum itself is set out nicely with the first floor, including a history of the Florida indigenous people, and then the development of the keys. These are lots of computer screens with interactive items but, they need to be locked because we accidentally got to the desktop and saw we went this first with a variety of windows open, various search items and even Roblox and other games open that kids were playing. There is also a small aquarium section with three tanks. Upstairs there is a small art gallery and a theater that plays a rotation of historical movies. We saw one about state parks (1/5) and one about the overseas highway (4/5). So kind of hit and miss there. If you are a history or museum buff or really interested in the keys then this might be worth a stop but, would not recommend for a family with kids as they will get bored easily.

This place is amazing. What a celebration of human achievement. It makes me respect all of the progress and innovation. Takes about 45 minutes to see it all and it's well worth the admission. Do yourself a favor and stop at this museum. You won't be sorry. Key West will wait!

Lobster Shack Cafe - Rain Barrel Village…read more Beautiful spot in the Keys with friendly staff and solid food quality. The seafood is fresh and the sandwiches are well-made. The manatee cafe vibe is perfect for the location. Worth stopping by if you're in the area. My one significant gap: if you have a dairy allergy, this isn't the place. Nearly everything on the menu relies on milk, cream, or cheese. I couldn't find a single non-dairy option, and the staff didn't have substitutions to offer. I know Key West locations nearby have dairy-free choices, so it's possible here too--just not on the menu or offered as an accommodation. That's a miss for an inclusive food business in 2026.

The upper keys can often feel like a "drive-through" town, and it's nice to have a central area where people gather and where there are shops and restaurants for people to hang out in.
