It doesn't take long to do this activity. It is $8 to get in. There is an informational area and then walk way to the turtle hospital. I enjoyed seeing the turtles and knowing there was a place that cared for injured turtles. The gift shop was nice and had a good selection.
We really enjoyed our visit here. It was very educational and interactive. There is a large viewing window that allows you to watch the routine procedures done on the turtles while they are rehabilitating them.
This is a great way to introduce some education while on vacation, especially on a rainy day. Money spent here goes to the treatment and rehabilitation of the turtles. I'm honestly not very sure why people are complaining about the prices, guess they think it should be free?
Love this place, we never miss a chance to go. Great for the young and old. There is an exhibit area, a very well supplied gift area with high quality products (No junk here), and my favorite, the hospital where you see the recovering sea turtles up close. You can spend an hour here, or the whole day, so it's easy to schedule, and most areas are inside, so a good rainy day activity as well. Make sure to check out the classes they offer and the night walks!
This is an amazing place to bring kiddos of all ages-- there are a lot of interactive activities. The staff and volunteers are very well informed and super nice. They also offer Military and Senior discounts and kids 3 and under are free.
This is great! I hovered between 4 and 5 stars only because there's not tons to see/do especially in the small exhibit room, but you can learn a lot if you read the information and watch the videos. Do bear in mind that it is a small place and half the main building is the gift shop, but for the price it's good. Some more things to do/games would be nice, especially for children. But you can pop in and out all day on your ticket and see surgery on the turtles, watch them bring animals out for the kids to see and the turtles are so cute, it was nice to be close enough to see them and we all had a great time. We even came back later in the day for the feeding time, which we loved. These guys do a fantastic job and it was a nice afternoon.
We spent about two hours here, I think two to three hours is probably the sweet spot. Take your time and read the information, don't just rush through it. It isn't very large so if you rush through it you'll be done in no time.
