Very interesting place! The kids fell in love with the turtles so much that we adopted Bender, the ghost turtle. The staff was very friendly and helpful at answering the many questions we had. We learned a lot about the sea turtles so now they have an even more special place in our hearts! ❤️

We adopted Rebel in June. Heard some great things about this wonderful and caring hospital. We are in the Keys and scheduled the tour on January 18th. Great experience. Thank you to Vets and all the staff for saving the turtles.

Incredible work that these people do.. for these sea turtles! Loved being able to see them in person and learn all about these beautiful creatures/ and all the hard work that goes into rehab- to be released. If I could make one suggestion it would be if you adopted a turtle.. and he is released- sent the tracking link to that family so they could watch where they go. This would be great for kids to see .. very educational and may inspire more to do the same or more

The Turtle Hospital is a “must” when visit the Florida Keys. You will have a guided tour that lets you get up and close to 5 different turtle species currently in their care. I was able to witness some amazing people care for these injured, sweet creatures. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and took his time answering anyone’s question. A great tour - highly recommend!
