The staff are all so friendly. they keep it infomral so it's not stuffly or rehersed. In our tour group there about 15 people. 4 of whuch were kids and our guide tailored it to them which both sweet and adorable. He also mentioned multiple times that if we wnated a different experance to stick aorund for the next tour. So from tour to tour you'll get a completely different experiace and infomation which is not typical and definatly a more interesting experiance (I do a lot of antique and historically signifaicnt home tours lol) The cats are amazon. Most are very used to people and are happy for some gental and respictful attention. Please if you are visiting, be respectful of the rules and don't pick htem up. If one jumps in your laslp thats fine but don't pick them up on your own. Pets and belly rubs and photos and ear scratches al welcome. We saw margarita glasses being used a water bowls an have implented this at our house now. I could have spent all day here and if we ever return to Key West we'll be back as I;m sure the experience will be different.

Mostly my wife looking at the cats and trying to get their attention. We had a cat, they do whatever they want when they want to. At a given time, we came back to the front for the house and garden tour. It was very informative and it lasted about 30 minutes. It does include some very steep stair climbing but well worth the visit. I was not aware of the whole cat thing but it was an interesting story on why and how they got there. But to see where Hemingway, certainly one of America's best writers, lived was a very cool thing to do.... in this heat and humidity :)

The servers are also the entertainers, and perform solo every 15-20 mins or so. Some acts are cute, some are acrobatic, some are burlesque. Very cool. The drinks are delicious, 2 drinks are included per ticket. There's popcorn for free and small snacks for purchase (if you buy regular tickets. I think snacks are included if you buy VIP tickets). Just go, and experience the fun for yourself!!

Whoa! IS THAT A DUDE?…read more Purely a crazy two hour drag show with three ultra energetic big dudes dressed up in women's wild attire dancing on the stage and thru the audience. We got a great front table steps from the stage for $20.00 per person and got harassed the entire time. Some unprovoked light petting was involved. The server was constantly at our table serving us lots of liquor which I recommend highly for this odd experience. FYI: make sure you bring plenty of $1 and $5 bills for tipping the entertainers. If you are not ok with foul language and sexual type dancing do not attend. Fun night and well worth the price.

How does it feel to a have an up-close and personal encounter with two exotic pink flamingos?…read moreNature lovers can find out during the exclusive "Flamingle" experience at the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory -- believed to be the only butterfly facility in the entire United States that also houses flamingos. "Flamingle" is a separate event from the regular Key West Butterfly ticket, which gives you access to the popular conservatory, which is 5,000-square-foot glass-domed rainforest-like habitat where there are about 1,000 butterflies from 50 to 60 species flying around. The flamingos, a male and female, are called Rhett and Scarlett in honor of their coloration and obvious affection for each other. Coincidentally, since the species is often associated with love and romance, these prized wading birds were born on Valentine's Day 2012. They arrived at the Key West facility in July 2013 -- and as they grew, their colorful pink plumage, social nature and foot-patting "dance" in their wading pond made them visitor favorites. During the hour-long "Flamingle" encounter, we had a chance to take many pictures with them and just enjoy the beautiful green space...just a great experience. Each experience is limited to 6 participants total, so book ahead if you are planning to do this !!!

The food is excellent--flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and consistently satisfying--but what truly sets this place apart is the service, especially when you're seated at the bar. As a bar guest, I experienced something far above exceptional. It felt like walking into a place I already loved and being shown the very best of it by people who genuinely care. To the bartenders and staff who made every visit feel that way: Dairy-ah (I'm almost certainly butchering the spelling, but the pronunciation stuck with me), thank you for the warmth, the skill, and the way you made the bar feel welcoming every time. Lucy--always with the hat on backwards--you became my spirit animal the moment I realized how perfectly that energy matched the whole vibe of the place. Thank you for being exactly who you are behind that bar. Brittney, the chillest of them all: your calm, easy presence made everything feel lighter and better. Chelsea, I only got to have you serve me once, but that one time was enough to know how good you are at this. And to the Servers, Paul and Lola: even in our brief interactions while I was at the bar, both of you brought such strong, genuine personalities that it elevated the whole experience. Thank you for that. Blue Heaven is an amazing restaurant with great food and even greater service. But more than that, it's the people who make it feel like coming home and being shown the best time in a place you love the most. Thank you--truly--to all of you for making it feel that way. And to Henry, a longtime regular at the bar, who passed away during my visit. "His" presence was clearly part of the fabric of this place, and I'm grateful I got to share that space, however briefly, with the people who knew and cared for him. Thank You All, and sorry if I didn't list your name in this review because there were far more of you than I've mentioned, just Know my early mornings sitting at the Blue Heavens Bar, was the highlight of everyday I spent in Key West.
