Sometimes, as you amble around the streets of Key West, you lose perspective of how big the island really is and how all the different components relate to each other. The climb to the top of the Key West Lighthouse brings it all together. My arthritic knees barked a bit during the climb up and down, but it was well... more

The lighthouse has a lot of history behind it. It was an easy climb to the top, and once you get up there you'll have an amazing view. The admission was a little high, being $10 per person, but worth the experience. The gift shop was kind of small and rather pricy. more

My husband and I visited the lighthouse and Keeper's Museum after visiting the Hemingway Home across the street. Enjoyed the grounds and the climb to the top for the great picture ops. Yes, we paid $10 a piece, but it was worth it. No complaints! more

Nice view, a little pricey though. I had a 2 for 1 coupon and it was well worth that. more

Located across the street from the Hemingway house nestled among trees, so unless you know its there or are looking for it you could walk right pass it. 10 dollars to get in is a bit pricey but everything in Key west is pricey. I have been in taller lighthouses, so the climb to this one was not bad at... more

I enjoyed the Lighthouse. It was an easy climb, not very busy, and has great views. It was $10 per person, I thought that was a little high but it does go to the preservation of a great piece of history. If you're squimish about heights wait by the impressive banyan tree. The museum was interesting and not overdone. more

The trip up the steps to the top of the lighthouse isn't bad-a couple of landings if you need them to rest - well worth the trip up. The view from the top is fantastic, and you can get photos from there of the Hemingway House across the street. Recorded stories have been added to the keeper's quarters and they... more

This is a low stress, low tech experience. The lighthouse climb is easy and the lighthouse keeper quarters tour is quick. The view from the top of the lighthouse provided great photo opps. The day we visited, the gift shop clerk was very friendly and informative. Please -- DON'T complain about the admission. Make the "investment" so the story can... more

My daughter and I climbed the lighthouse at Key West, Florida. It was an awesome experience. Eighty-eight steps to the top and when there, we could see everything of Key West, including the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. What is sad is that many people simply walked by the location hoping to see something else I guess. It was... more
