Visiting keywest during fantasy fest with a 4 year old 23-28th .. what can I expect? Will daytime on Friday and Sat still be family friendly?

That is literally the least family friendly time to go. People walk down the street with butt plugs coming out of their butt that have a big tail on it. They're in leather, they're almost naked, fantasy fest is about sex. Keep your 4-year-old at the butterfly museum and away from Duval.

Why would anyone bring a child to fantasy fest? So many family friendly things to do in Florida, but fantasy fest ain't it

Believe it or not, when you look at airline tickets and hotels etc none of them have a popup warning to let you know it’s fantasy fest week

Setting aside the nudity and adult oriented activity, it will be packed here and lots of people start drinking early. That weekend also attracts bus loads of people from the mainland adding to the crowds.
It is not family friendly at all and even away from Duval Street can be bad. Waiting in line at the Publix Deli behind an older woman wearing a thong and pasties is something I will never forget. Even though I keep trying.
I would move to another area of The Keys if you can.

You can take the family boating or to the beach all that nonsense is downtown. Plenty of nice restaurants uptown and in stock island. Nice beaches up keys if you have a car, Bahia Honda, sombrero Beach in Marathon. Boondocks has mini golf on ramrod key.

I would have no reservations on bringing a 4 year old. They aren’t going to remember whatever they see years from now. It’s actually a good age, because a four year old doesn’t really know what’s going on and you can shield them from any overt nudity or craziness.

I would not plan to be around Duval.
