Island hopping down to Key West along the scenic Overseas Highway, travelers will encounter numerous parks and special attractions sure to enchant and excite the entire family. In Islamorada, families can visit the famous Theater of the Sea, where porpoises and sea lions cavort in spacious, coral rock-lined natural ponds, and barracuda, tarpon and shark can sometimes be spotted.

For a close encounter of the unforgettable kind, try swimming with friendly dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key. The center is one of three facilities in the Keys that provide visitors with an opportunity to interact with the intelligent and curious animals. It also serves as a retirement home for dolphins from other aquariums and as a hospital for sick and wounded dolphins.

Marathon Key, heart of the Florida Keys, is home to Crane Point Hammock, a 63-acre land tract that is one of the most important ecological, historical and archaeological sites in the Keys. The area contains evidence of pre-Colombian and prehistoric Bahamian artifacts and was once the site of an entire Indian village. Vacationers can explore these and other historical landmarks at the Museum of Natural History of the Florida Keys and the adjacent children’s museum, the first of its kind in the Keys.

On Big Pine Key, a dwindling herd of tiny Key deer - each no larger than a medium-sized dog - can be spotted in the National Key Deer Refuge and are sure to charm the kids. The refuge provides ample hiking and bird watching among tropical forests and alongside Blue Hole, the largest body of fresh water in the Florida Keys, where Key deer are joined by various birds, turtles and alligators for nourishment.
