This center houses and rehabilitates green and loggerhead sea turtles. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Tours are available. Outdoor tanks house the turtles in ICU and there are fish tanks and a children's ed center. There is a Cafe with great food overlooking the turtle tanks and a wonderful gift shop.
This place is really amazing. It was great seeing the turtles from baby, to adult. It's great what they're doing to help the turtles here. Great for young kids as well.
Amazing staff, wonder place. I did the VIP walk through and it was very informative and Jenny our tour guide was so cool and nice, and did interactive things with everyone in the tour. There is a cafe and gift shop too for extra activities.
Nette Einrichtung mit kostenlosen Eintritt. Einige Aquarien mit verschieden Fischen. Freies Parken.
What a neat place to see the rescued turtles up close! The staff is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. There weren't as many turtles today, but that is a good thing!! We got to watch the "fish feeding" while we were there too. This is a quick, fun stop. We spent about an hour there altogether.
