We really enjoyed our visit. Steve was well informed and had a few tools, he offered for us to use during the tour. We spoke to Robert (the doll) and Raymond (from the raft) to ask permission to take photos and enter certain areas without disturbing the spirits. The best part is it only cost $0.00 for year around locals. 7 days a week. Photo is from the top of the spiral staircase leading out to the roof...

This place is truly unique! Got in cheaper with our student ID’s. I enjoyed seeing all the interesting pieces of history, and the Stanley Papio sculptures. Loved seeing Robert the Doll, which was our main reason for coming. I love this museum’s dedication to the paranormal of Key West, including Robert. It’s awesome! Definitely check this place out.

Cute place to learn some history, support a piece of the past, and see Robert the Doll. The tickets are $10 and $5 (18 and under). The low score is due to the ‘Under Construction’. Some of the exhibits are covered up or not fully installed. We enjoyed what was available and Robert the Doll was on the bucket list. Call ahead to see the percentage of open exhibits.

Really cool fort and museum with a lot to see. We went to see Robert the Doll and were surprised at all the other interesting things to see. Going up to the the roof is a must giving great views of Smathers beach! Highly recommend a visit if it fits your travel plans.

We did the VIP ghost tour. Highly recommend! Our guides Matt & Dan were fantastic and very knowledgeable about the history and ghost activity. Definitely go for the VIP experience as a good part of our fun was roaming around the fort alone and in the dark with ghost hunting equipment! Seeing Robert the doll was really cool...but definitely follow the rules!
