Awesome guided & self tour of this historic gem! Small fee benefits the upkeep & is worth the stop & walk thru. Extensive family heirlooms still in place. We enjoyed it!

We booked the Audubon House for our mid-day micro wedding and it was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have imagined how intimate it would feel, even being open to the public during the time of our ceremony. The garden area is lush and beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for photos. Laura was very kind and helpful. It was the perfect day!

Had the pleasure of being DJ&MC for Andrea and Alex's wedding here, and arrived early as I always do (events are typically done after the museum closes to the public) so as to be able to enjoy the venue where I'll be working and this had the added benefit of being a venue with a cool history and art, both which I love. I was able to tour the three floors of this charming home and it's mid-late 1850s art and decor. Knowledgeable, friendly docent and staff. Well worth a visit! I could feel a great vibe both in the house and especially the gardens where there was a special energy of all the celebrations that have taken place here which I channeled into my performance. It also helps the exciting energy you feel here that it's located just a short walk away from all the fun nightlife on Duval Street (good for the After-Party lol). It was nice of the management to invite wedding guests in after it was closed to the public. I was surprised to learn that John James Audubon, renowned nature lover and artist only lived here for 3 weeks. You'll enjoy it here!

I am not as enthusiastic with this tourist attraction. There is a very sketchy connection to Audubon and the gardens are not special. The house is interesting but does not justify the entrance price. There are some very cool bird paintings for sale which is probably the objective here. The tour guide provided good service in his introduction.

A fun trek through time where you get to reminisce on the story of James Audubon and the Geiger Family.I wish they was perhaps a few more authentic pieces and original furniture in the house. Over all it was a breeze to stop by and learn some history.There are no tours, it is all self guided with a brief telling of an overview of the property happening in the living room every 15 minutes.

There was nothing blatantly wrong with this place. I just found the house less entertaining that I expected. The prints of birds are all just birds. You see 3 and you know what they all look like. There were few labeled plants on the property. The cook house was interesting to see but takes 5 minutes max. The ticket was $15. I suppose it's impolite to complain about a museum but this place is only worth $5. Yeah I know it must be expensive to maintain the museums on key west. But the lady introducing us to the house narrated well.

Beautiful restored house built in 1850s’. A lot of personal artifacts to show that period of time (those furnitures belong to Geiger family show at the top floor) . A lot of Audubon’s works hanging on the wall, the bird room is unique and whimsical, which my kids adored a lot. The detached cookhouse is interesting to see, looks authentic though it’s indeed replica.Scrolling in the tropic garden, while taking photos of the beautiful orchards, or watching the dancing butterflies, made us feel away from the bustle and hustle of Key west. Our tour guide gave us a short introduce and we wandered around for another 1 hour. The gift shop is the prettiest I have ever seen. This is a special place, we love it!

As a Key West local wedding planner, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE working at Audubon. This place has so much history and the garden is so amazingly taken care of. Laura and her staff are so easy to work with and communication flows very easily.If you visit the property, do not forget to see the third floor. It is an amazing experience and will definitely surprise you.Love you guys!XOLITTLE MISS PLANNER

A beautiful and immaculately cared for piece of history. We ducked in because we needed a cool off on a hot day. It ended up being one of our favorite tours of the trip.I'm kicking myself for not coming home with a print.

Really lovely little spot - not only to get away from crowds/out of the heat, but full of beautiful original Audubon pieces. Though he was only in the Geiger home for a few months, the house itself has a fascinating history and is so interesting to meander through. Dennis (I think that was his name) gave a really thorough and interesting history of the home and then we were free to explore on our own. There are many details to pore over - take your time - and Dennis was available to answer our questions. Then, in the gallery, Mark gave us even more information and answered specific questions about process of making the prints as we browses through an impressive number of first- and second- edition works. I was surprised that many were quite affordable - and they will ship prints home for customers! This is a really neat spot with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth an hour of your time.

Key West has a lot of interesting history and this property is one of them. Beautifully preserved with lovely gardens. The staff are wonderful as well. Go visit!

I was not familiar with this family, nor was Audubon an interest. I do enjoy seeing a variety of foliage. This facility offered a broad spectrum of plants, as well as a lovely history of the home. Audubon lithographs are seen throughout the home. A replica cooking house is present that gives an interesting experience.

If you're looking for a picturesque place to get married in Key West, you should check out Audubon House. It's got a great vibe that feels like you're in a tropical paradise, even though you're right in the middle of downtown. And the best part is, it's super private so you won't feel like you're right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. It's a great spot for a wedding!

After taking the self guided tour with introduction, I’m still unclear what this house has to do with Audubon other than he stayed on his boat in the harbor and visited the gardens. More than likely it has something to do with the store where they sell Audubon prints. It would be more accurately represented as the Geiger house and garden. The house would probably be more lovely without the awkward Audubon overlay.
