What the best attraction in Key West?

My wife and I have travelled to Key West 5 times now and we want to do something new and fun. Any suggestions for something new and exciting in the southernmost place?

Have you been to the Hemingway House? That’s pretty interesting (especially if you enjoy the author) and plus you can see all the six-toed cats!

There’s also a great restaurant that’s slightly off the beaten path called Pisces (?) I think. It used to be called Cafe Des Artistes. Anyway, the food is amazing and they have original Andy Warhol prints on the walls.

Here’s also a list of attractions from Lonely Planet’s website:

And I also found the website for Pisces: http://www.pisceskeywest.com/
It’s definitely one of my all time favorite restaurants.

Lobstering, fishing and drinking. All are perfect way to spend a day in Key West.

@Kay Hemminway House is a great tour. I loved it!

@scamp: It’s such an awesome house with a great history! I really like how they let you hang out on the grounds for as long as you want after the tour. :)

The Audobon House is also great – it’s an old cottage with several original Audubon prints in it. I think it’s on the same street as the Hemingway house. We also took a tour of the Truman White House in the Truman Complex last time we were there, very pleasant. Another nice thing we did once was a small boat eco-tour to see dolphins. A sunset champagne cruise on a schooner was great; you get it on the pier in front of the Hilton. There’s a great French bakery on Duvall Street quite a ways down from the water. And Turtle Kraals is a nice pubby type place to eat at the marina….Oh – I want to go!

We love to stay at the Ocean Key House right at the end of Duvall. If you can get a room with a balcony overlooking Mallory Dock, you have a ringside seat for the Sunset Celebration. It is pricey though.
