Conch Republic, Est. 1828

Old Key West house with artwork by John J. Audubon, illustrator of birds. Historic rooms and furniture, artwork, and a beautiful garden. Learn the ironic reason why it's called the Audubon House.

It's more than butterflies. You'll spot exotic birds in the trees, turtles in the creek, and little (what are they called!) scuttling by. And of course, the two flamingos, Rhett and Scarlet, who can steal the show.

John works here! He won't be working the weekend you're in town, but it's still a great place to visit, because tours and tastings are free. If you mention to John that you went, he'll talk your ear off about rum!

Freak out the squares and show up at the 801 drag show, 9 and 11 at night. A bit raunchy, perhaps. But hey, remember when you used to live your life to the fullest and tried new things?

Danger Charters, don't let the name worry you, it's quite safe! But they're a fun company with which to take a sail, snorkel, or kayak (and spot dolphins!). Maybe you'll even get to sail with Captain Meg! Options range from the relaxing to the athletic.
