Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow! We loved Mallory Square. Entertainment, food, drinks, ocean, and people watching. Its the hot spot for families to watch the sunset in the evening. There is plenty of room to walk around and take pictures. This is a must do for an evening in Key West.

Mallory Square is an awesome location to people watch and enjoy street performers; there is a website that is dedicated to showing you the history, and to present the current street performers. The important thing is the schedule, as they do not perform everyday.

Sunset party every night. Street entertainers. Lots of food and drink trucks. Walk down, or if your hotel is too far there is a parking garage nearby for &5/hr. Exit to garage gets busy right after sunset.
Some restaurants and shops are nearby too. I loved the square with busts of the people who have made Ket West what it is. The square is in fact named after one of those women. See if you can find her in this area.

Great view of the gorgeous sunset on the edge of the water! This is the perfect place in Key West to view the sunset and watch the boats coming and going from the island.

Visited in the evening. It was okay, nothing else to do with younger kids really. Mix of dumpy tshirt shops, higher end stores, skanky lingerie shops and ice cream stands. Nothing special.

Visited Mallory Square to wave goodbye to the sunset is a part of the Key West experience. The iguanas and chickens were nice to see walking around. But the crafters and other vendors will have wares that can be bought as well as the street performers add to the experience.

If you like to be in crowded, loud areas to celebrate the sun setting this place is your spot. To me, it was a let down. There are many other beautiful and creative spots to see sunsets in Key West.

Is it everyday? Or is it just certain days of the week?

Hi,
Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square is 365 days a year. Some times of the year may have more vendors than others, but our event is every night.

There really isn't free parking anywhere in the downtown area. However there is plenty of paid parking at Mallory Square in the city's parking lot.

How active is Mallory Square and Key West in general on a Sunday?

During the day, the shops and restaurants are open and it's nice to walk around. It's got people but not crowded. You may have to wait in line to get your photo taken at the southernmost point, but that's literally a few minutes.
At night I hear it can get crazy, but we avoided that. During the day...no problem for families.
