Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

The Conch Tour Train is probably the most touristy thing you could do in Key West. In fact, it might be the most touristy thing you could do anywhere. It was a semi-stormy, rainy day and our previous plans, which were glorious, were ruined by the weather. So we rode the little tourist train. And it was fun. Your driver will give you a live, narrated tour throughout the ride, except for when you go through a few quiet zones. You will learn history, some architecture, and just generally stuff about Key West. Our driver was quite a character--in a good way. You can hop on and off the train at their handful of stations, if you want to explore the area on foot and then re-board the train later. We wanted to give our feet a break so we just stayed on the train throughout. Yes, it is incredibly touristy and riding a train is no substitute whatsoever for hitting the pavement with your feet and checking out the surroundings on your own pace and in person. Honestly, but for the weather seriously messing with our plans, we would never have ridden the little train. But it was a fun ride, I can't deny it.

A wet day and wild waves as we rode the little train.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you had a good tour and enjoyed the historical information. It's great to know that you found the trolley tour convenient for exploring the town. We hope to see you again soon!

Pretty good way to get a lay of the land and see some important historic points and get good background. It's a little expensive for what it is though; and they added on a $5 historic book that we didn't ask for! It's still a good option for a first time visitor to the area.

May 11, 2024

We did this tour on our second day which I recommend. We stayed on the train for the entire tour so we could see all the stops then decide which ones we wanted to get off at. Our Captain was Skipper and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went to the Truman Little White House Tour at one of the stops which we recommend. Make sure to bring your ticket if you go there cuz they will give you a discount. Great shopping in the area as well

See all photos from JoAnn S. for Key West Tours- Conch Tour Train

We absolutely love this little tram!!! Great history and a fun ride. Only complaint is that we come to Key West every year and we wish they did sort of a hop on hop off for people who aren't necessarily going to stay on just for one ride, one day. We come in the low season and they are always riding around with two people. I think it's a missed opportunity not to offer a hop on hop off option for people who have already done the tram in the past.

My husband and I went to Key West on a recent cruise. We wanted to explore and have been before so decided to do the quick tour around with the train. The staff were awesome and pointed out great items and a plus was that we did get to see some areas we had not seen before. Overall, the experience was great. My only suggestion is to have a little more accommodations for those that are tall. The seats are very close the rails which led to not as comfortable of an hour as it should have been.

Apr 6, 2024

We're glad you had a great time! Thank you for the review!

Worth while if you have limited time. Hits the main stops plus if you're at one of the hotels on the stops, you won't need to drive in.

If it was sunny, I'd give this a solid four, but I wouldn't advise getting on this before/during a rainstorm. Most people know this, but I didn't. The tour train gave us white plastic ponchos but it simply wasn't enough protection. We got a lot of laughs in though. Especially funny was that the tour operator didn't even mention the pouring rain, the pelting water, the flooded streets. Instead he just keep going with the history lesson. An upside is that people on the street watching us pass by on "the train" were laughing at how ridiculous we looked, which made me laugh too.

Hello Roma, We are so glad you got a lot of laughs and that the inclement weather did not impede the guide from providing a quality tour. We hope you will reconsider your rating since it was based upon the weather and not our tour.

Not a good way to just get around. They have a free bus for that. We bought on the ferry as they said it was good for that. Haven't took the tour yet.

Absolutely worth the time & money. A long tour, very very informative. Would not have ever been able to see all the sites on our own. Wish I could remember our gal, she was awesome and so funny! Kept us informed and entertained at all times!! January 19th I think, 2024.

Train ride was fun and very informative. We saw lots of places that we didn't even know about so it was well worth it.

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Did you know that Key West was the largest city in Florida at one point?

Key West Conch Train

This beloved Key West tourist attraction has been running for over 65 years. It takes visitors on a 75-minute tour of the island, providing a fascinating glimpse into Key West’s history and culture.  

In this post, we’ll explore the history of the Key West Conch Train , its hours, stops, and other important information that you will want to know before your trip. And make sure to browse my other Key West blog posts . You may be particularly interested in learning about the Key West Old Town Trolley Tour !

History of the Key West Conch Train

The Key West Conch Train was first established in 1958 by Bill and Olive Kroll. The idea behind the train was to allow visitors to see the sights of Key West while learning about its rich history and culture. The original train, #97, was driven by Bill Kroll himself while Olive sold tickets out on Front Street.

It quickly became a hit with tourists. They bought Train #98 and then Train #99 the following year. Ten trains ran daily Key West tours when they told the company in 1972.

Over the years, the  Conch Train  has evolved and grown, but it still retains its original charm and mission. Today, the train is operated by Historic Tours of America. This company specializes in providing historical tours in various cities across the country. The Conch Train is one of the most popular tours in Key West, attracting over one million visitors each year.

Key West Conch Train Tours

Conch Train Tour Times : The Conch Train runs every day of the week, with tours departing from the Key West Depot (at least once) every half-hour from 10:15 am to 4:15 pm. The train tour takes approximately 75 minutes and covers about three miles. 

Conch Train Tour Locations : The tour   begins at 303 Front Street. You can also start your tour at the Sails to Rails Museum at 901 Caroline Street. If you board at that location, you will likely transfer to another train to complete your tour.

The Key West Conch Train Tour runs 364 days a year. It is only closed on the last Saturday in October for Fantasy Fest.

Conch Train Stops

Visitors will ride past various landmarks and historical sites during the tour, including the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, Mallory Square, Duvall Street, The Historic Seaport, the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, the Southernmost Point Buoy, and much more! 

Along the way, a knowledgeable tour guide provides commentary about the history and culture of Key West, making the ride both entertaining and educational.  

The train tour will focus on Old Town Key West with four total stops. You can hop off at these stops and catch a later train to continue. Stops A, C, and D are located along the island’s northwest edge. You can download the map and brochure  here . 

(A) Front Street Depot

The Front Street Depot is likely where you will start your tour and is adjacent to Mallory Square, in the heart of Key West. The depot is also not too far from the  Truman Little White House .

(B) Truval Village

Located at the corner of Duval Street and Truman Avenue, this is the one stop farthest from the starting point. You can get off and walk to the  Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum , the Key West Lighthouse, the Southernmost Point, the Key West Butterfly Nature Conservatory, and more.

(C) Conch Tour Train Station 

Near Duval Street, this stop is very close to the starting point (A). I would not recommend getting off and then trying to reboard another train. Just ride it through to the end. 

(D) Sails to Rails Museum at Flagler’s Station

Located near the Historic Seaport, are several waterfront restaurants in this area. It’s a great place to boat-watch. It will make you want to plan a snorkeling tour or sunset cruise in Key West !

Key West Conch Train Tips and FAQ

The Key West Conch Train is an excellent option for visitors of all ages and abilities. Since it is open air, you should bring sunscreen and plenty of water. The Key West sun can be intense! 

This popular Key West outing is one of my favorite family-friendly things to do in Key West ! It’s the perfect length and a great blend of fun for the kids and entertaining for the adults.

The Conch Train can accommodate strollers; however, they must be collapsible and stored up front with the conductor.

The train is handicap accessible, with wheelchair ramps and other accommodations available upon request. They do ask that you call 305-294-5161 24 hours before your visit. 

Except for service animals, the Key West Conch Train is not pet-friendly.

Food and non-alcoholic drinks are permitted on the train tour. 

On my recent trips, I have noticed that the train typically runs pretty full. Most people tend to stay for the entire 75 minutes. Therefore, if you get off at one of the stops, you may have difficulty getting back on if it’s a busy day. So, just be aware and be flexible. 

Book Your Key West Conch Train Tour 

Tickets for the Conch Train can be purchased at the Key West Depot or online in advance. I recommend arriving early and taking the morning tours before the mid-day temperatures rise. 

Conch Train Tickets

You can click here to purchase your tickets in advance through Key West Conch Tain Tours or use a third party such as Get Your Guide or Viator .  Often time, the 3rd party tickets are refundable, which is nice!

Visitors can also purchase combination tickets that include admission to other attractions, such as the Key West Aquarium and the Shipwreck Treasure Museum .

In conclusion, the Key West Conch Train is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Key West. Its rich history, scenic route, and knowledgeable tour guides make it an unforgettable experience that will give visitors a deeper appreciation for this unique and vibrant island community. So hop aboard the Key West Conch Train and explore the best of Old Town Key West!
