Extra time in Key West

[sydney dog]

I have a walking food tour from 11-2 (starts and ends at El Siboney 900 Catherine St). Ship is in port from 8-4.  Any ideas what I can do with my "extra time".  Going in October with my husband.  Both of us about 50 yrs old but would be up to almost anything.  Thanks

Sorry I messed up my meet and end location.  Meet at El Siboney 900 Catherine St and end at Cuban Coffee Queen Downtown (Southard and Duval), 5 Key Lime Square

Some things that are kind of between Cuban Coffee Queen and the dock, that you might do in 1-2 hours:  

Mel Fisher Maritime Museum--artifacts from shipwrecks

Truman Little White House--history

KW Museum at Custom House--art and history of KW 

(More) drinks and music at Hogs Breath or Sloppy Joe's

Thank you for this info.  I was also thinking about the butterfly conservatory.  Anyone have any info on this.  DH and I are really into animals and I thought this might be a good choice.  We would have about 1.5 hours to spend here.  Would that be enough time.  Planning on going when they open at 9.

Plenty of time.  It's a cool place, but doesn't take very long to move through.  you'll need to go back and forth a few times and sit on a bench for a while to kill 90 minutes inside.

The Duvall Loop City Bus is free and goes in a large well defined loop.  It will not, like some city busses, take you off to places that are good for commuters, etc.   (Note there are several paid bus/trolley services as well).  We walked around the marina area (get off the ship, go straight and left), DW found a nice quilt/fabric shop.  We always have lunch at the Southernmmost Beach Cafe, which feels like the Bahamas.

Not sure what that has to do with the butterfly conservatory question I was replying to
