We purchased our tickets online in advanced so not sure how much on the spot. I wouldnt want to pay any more than 10 dollars. But, it is Key west .It was a bit bigger than what we were expecting. We went late Sunday, so no crowd. Some of the exhibits are the usual stuff, some unique to this museum.... more

It was an interesting place with lots to look at. It was rather small, and can be looked at quickly. But if you read all there is to read then that could take a few hours. It you like history, treasure, or diving then I think you would enjoy it. And If you think a whole $11 is to much... more

Nice exhibit. You get to see a 78 carat emerald and pick up a gold bar (secured under a plexiglass box). Lots of history and treasure hunting details. more

It is truly amazing to gaze upon artifacts that have been buried-at-sea for over 300 years. There is so much to learn at this museum. It is not a high-tech interactive museum; if you are truly interested in understanding what you are seeing and the history behind it, you will be reading a lot of posted information. But, the content... more

We went to the museum in February and were plesantly surprised. Our guidebooks and Trip Advisor were not high on this place but we found it informative and very interesting. Yes, it is $12/adult to get in but every attraction in the Keys is expensive to get in. If you are visiting the Hemingway House as well you can buy... more

There are a lot better ways to spend your time and money. It is simply a boring museum. Most intersting part is just imagining the thrill when after 13 years or so searching for the sunken ship that one day they find it and it is worth like 400 million. Now you don't have to go. Browse the gift shop... more

I was in port on a cruise and had been to Key West before (it's one of my favourite travel destinations). We had a little extra time and happened upon this museum. If you are interested in naval history, it's really cool. There are displays of a recovered Spanish treasure as well as remnants of a slave ship. You can... more

Paid $11 per person for this museum. Although the story is compelling, the museum itself is quite small and the trip through it is very short. You can see the whole thing in under a half an hour. Compared to the Hemingway house guided tour for the same price, this place just didn't measure up. You'd think that, having found... more
