Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center

We're open! Well, it's a soft open, but you can visit every Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Our Eco-Discovery Center is FREE! Come see our remarkable renovation in Truman Annex at 35 Quay Road, Key West, FL 33040.

We have been working hard with our partners to bring the community and visitors new, interactive and engaging exhibits that encourage exploration of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Visitors will dive into the reef with immersive digital interactives, audio, and tactile objects. "Paddle" through the mangroves and hear what creatures call this unique environment home. Learn about the maritime heritage

Do you have any questions? Contact EDC Manager Emily Kovacs at: Emily.Kovacs@noaa.gov or call 305-‪809-4753.
