The Audubon House and Tropical Gardens is a historic house museum located in Key West, Florida. The house was built in the 1840s by Captain John Huling Geiger, a prominent shipwreck salvager and master wrecker.

The gardens feature a wide variety of exotic plants, including orchids, bromeliads, and palm trees.
