It was nice to see the treasure, but I was much more interested in the long journey to find the treasure by Mel Fisher. Dedication and persistence definitely paid off for him in the long run. The artifacts are amazing and definitely worth the price of admission.

This is probably the best museum on the island in terms of history and accuracy. I found that several of the museums in KW are somewhat haphazardly arranged, but this is not the case here. The artifacts are in excellent condition, they are labeled properly, and the museum provides historical background for each grouping of artifacts. This is a well-done... More

We loved this museum. Shipwrecks, buried treasure, and pirates. Beautifully layed out, clear easy to read information. Friendly lady at front desk and very nice gift shop.

After seeing the Discovery Channel program on Mel Fisher I couldn't wait to go see this gem. It was so great to see the artifacts and they did a great job on the displays. I wish I hadn't missed this museum the first time I was in Key West. It was a truely great museum and not just a tourist... More

My boyfriend and I recently visited Mel Fisher's in Key West and I was pleasantly surprised. If you're interested in scuba diving, maritime history, slavery history, and/or treasures from shipwrecks, spend a few hours here. All of the artifacts are originals, not replicas. The staff are all friendly and knowledgable. The exhibit on the Atocha was my favorite, and has... More

If you enjoy history shipwrecks and all, Mel Fisher Museum is a good visit. It's not too expensive to get in, and there are a lot of interesting artifacts there. There are two shops on site. One is a gift shop that has a lot of selection of your normal travel relics. The other is a shop of jewelry and... More

Great story how one man found treasures beyond belief from a Spanish galleon shipwreck in the 1600's. Good displays and some pirate stuff thrown in as well. The tour should take roughly an hour.

Don't think this has been updated since its inception. To add to the disappointment of this tired exhibit, there is a charge for head phones which are totally unecessary. Wish we would have paid one admission to check the attraction and we would have saved our money! They do have a great gift shop and, of course, youy don't have... More

I was 17 and on spring break. There were a million other things I could've done, but this museum is just wonderful. And I'm not typically all that fond of museums... So part of it may have been that I got to go behind the scenes since my cousin works at Mel Fisher and has for...well, forever. He showed us... More
