Such a fun experience I would highly recommend for anyone interested in sea life. I was so incredibly impressed with the staff and the amazing hands on tour that they provide. The turtles are so so adorable and the little gift shop they have has merchandise with their actual turtles on them, making it truly unique and special. An event that holds a warm memory.
This was such an informative and amazing experience! Our guide was so good and gave us lots of information and it was so cool to get to see sea turtles so close
The people here are so kind and knowledgeable. The kids love stopping each year to visit the turtles and it’s a great reminder for all of us to be thoughtful before we head out to the island. Cute reasonably priced gift shop, clean restrooms, and easily accessible location near restaurant options make this a great family activity. Don’t forget to reserve your spot online.
What a great experience for our family! It was awesome seeing those sweet turtles being cared for. Please visit, donate, contribute, or volunteer. Loved this place! 😍 …
Have gone here for years. The old location and the new one! Love what they do. Have gone to yours and to turtle releases.
I cannot say enough good things about this place! The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful and you can tell they really care about the well being of the turtles. I’ve been wanting to visit here since I “Adopted” Lennie a few years ago. We came from Cleveland, OH!
What a wonderful place. What they do there is fabulous. All the volunteers were so friendly and full of joy, as well.
Took my small children here and we all enjoyed it! Not too long of a tour, so we didn’t lose the attention span of the kids, and they were able to see huge turtles up close! Someone take lennie to a new aquarium home!
