We went in August with our grandchildren (10 & 14) and they absolutely loved it (and we had gone inadvertently gone during Lobster Fest).

The highlight for them was the jet-ski tour which they absolutely loved, it wasn't cheap but they still talk about it.

Agree re: Key West compared to Gulf but I think it’s a toss up between rest of the Keys and Gulf as both are amazing.

I think if you like Vegas, Nashville, and other similar 'party towns' in Europe, you may like it. Also if you are young and not an old git like me.

Otherwise, the drunks, homeless etc may get on your nerves a bit.

Other keys are nicer IMO.

I'd sooner go to the SW Gulf coast though across alligator alley from Miami.

Which Key would you stay on. Kids like snorkelling and fishing etc

Key largo I can recommend for snorkelling- we did the boat trip out and an amazing experience round the reefs

The keys are amazing! Especially the turtle hospital and the key lime pie factory! If your a lover of key lime pie then imagine a slice dipped in chocolate it was amazing. From key west airport I took a trip to the dry Tortuga national park by sea plane (I hate flying) but that was incredible.
