RecommendedInteresting to see how they care for these creatures. There was a release scheduled but we were unable to stay and watch. Amazing work!
We toured the Turtle Hospital this morning. It was very interesting and informative. We not only learned the plight of the sea turtles but also measures being taken to save them and what we as average Joe can do to help. This is a must see when visiting the Keys.
it was informative and clean. lots of turtles to gaze at.
Fantastic knowledgeable tour guide on beautiful grounds with a wide variety of turtles and in various stages of healing. Definitely educational and recommend for families. This hospital receives turtles from all over the country.
Amazing job done there. Super interesting. Super cool
A must see for anyone visiting the Florida Keys. Great educational tours given by Miriam and Sarah that teach you about the five different species of sea turtles that are in the Keys, why the hospital exists, the different reasons the patients come in, and what each person can do to help the turtles. You will even get to meet the permanent residents of the hospital (turtles that cannot be released) and have the chance to feed them some “turtle chow.” I enjoyed my visit so much that I went another two times during my trip to ... read more
Such wonderful work........ an up close look and education of rehab for these amazing creature.
What a wonderful organization!
Great organization, admirable mission and very knowledgeable guide. No touching, but we were able to get up close to these fascinating creatures and understand what they’re up against. The only down side — we became much more conscious of trash on the beach afterwards, pockets filled with plastic bags and bottle caps! Thanks for your good work.
