Key West bound

Indoor rock climbing parties Looking for a different activity to celebrate a birthday, promotion or whatever? Why not an indoor rock climbing party at our place! Stop by for more details and check out the wall.

March 16-21, 2016 Still a U.S. territory, but closer to Cuba than Miami, Key West, Florida is a dynamic collage of culture, food, nature and people.

Without a doubt, one of the most “laid back” cities on the planet, Key West is known for its easy-going lifestyle, great weather and nearly 24/7 party atmosphere. Travel with us in March to experience four days and five nights of this quirky, unique and sometime eccentric piece of real estate. The $450 per person cost based on double occupancy covers transportation, five nights lodging and some meals. This is a super St. Patrick’s Day party destination. Space is limited and advanced reservations are required because this trip always fills up fast.

Discount tickets

We have discount tickets for dozens of Charleston attractions and tours, along with great discounts for Stingrays hockey games, the Wild Blue Ropes park and the South Carolina Aquarium. We also have super discounts for Orlando attractions such as Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. Check out the complete listing of great deals at www.JBCharleston.com.
