Not Key West but we stayed in Key Largo and it was AMAZING.
We stayed at the Playa Largo Resort and Spa.
Perfection and stuff for the kids to do- daily kids' activities, fishing off the pier.
It was awesome.
A lot closer to Miami too

We stayed at casa marina. It was great. We just walked around, had some great food (and chocolate covered key lime pie). There’s a cute little aquarium there and the nightly entertainment on the pier.

Re: key west with kids??
Are you flying into Miami? I'm sure you already know, but it's about a 4 hour drive to Key West from Miami. I haven't been to Key West in a long time, but I really didn't like it. Not sure what there is for kids to do....there's a big bar scene. There aren't really any beaches but they do have a lot of boat tours. I would maybe look into the keys that are closer to Miami. Miami beaches are great!

Yes! Key Largo was an hour from Miami and soooo nice. Not a party scene like Key West.
And the place we stayed had a great beach. It was a bay, the water was warm and calm, you could see to the bottom, see fish, my dd loved it

NYC would be fun. I always fantasize about doing that- just going in and being a tourist for a bit.

we do this every year. We go 2 weeks before Christmas, Stay at a hotel near Bryant Park, and walk to everything. Usually see a show, and the tree, ice skating. It is a yearly tradition.
