Senior Cruising to Key West

[LLKC]

I will be going to Key West with my 94 year old mother. I would appreciate any recommendations for tours that don't require a lot of walking. We have been there before and would prefer not taking the conch tour or trolley tour since we have already done that.

Thanks

Since you have been on the Conch Tour you have seen pretty much all there is in Key West Proper. Try renting an electric car and visit any places you have seen before that were of interest or just do a little exploration on your own and at your own pace.

The butterfly farm was nice and not too big. There are benches around and the butterflies are friendly. If you book through the ship they put you on the trolley and then you walk so maybe a taxi is a better option.

Considering the heat and humidity and your mother's age, perhaps the Fort East Martello Museum might be an interesting respite - certainly it is full of curiosities of Key West's history:

I don't know how well you mother walks, but my dad is 92 and I take a lightweight transfer chair for him which is very helpful in not tiring him out too much.
