Very informative! I loved all the information about my swimming buddies of the sea. I enjoyed all the turtles! Just wished I could have kissed one on the head!
I loved visiting The Sea Turtle Hospital whilst in Key West for vacation. Marine life is so precious and this experience made me appreciate it that little bit more! This is an up close and personal experience that you’d never get at an aquarium and it’s all charitable. We picked up Tshirts as well which are so reasonably priced for a charity organisation 😊
RecommendedVery interesting to learn about the struggles and what the staff does for them
You can see the love and care felt for the turtles by the employees and medical staff. Wonderful place to be educated, inspired and enthralled by the beautiful sea turtles, many given second chances at life.
This place is doing good stuff here! Love that they are educating people on how to better take care of our sea life and the oceans.
Definitely stop here on your way to or from the Keys. The 90 min tours are so interesting and the turtles are so well cared for. I’m not sure if you can call/book ahead but check the schedules as we just missed the noon tour, but ended up grabbing lunch while waiting for the 1:00 group.
Awesome place to visit!!! They rescue turtles and then treat them with the proper antibiotics or operation and then they release them back in the ocean if possible. As humans, we need to start keeping our beaches a lot cleaner. Cause out trash can be very dangerous to the turtles, not only them but to all the creatures of the sea. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place is AWESOME! I think this place should be a required attraction when visiting the Keys! So informative and the work they do is fabulous. The fact that it was a motel turned into a hospital for turtles was an ingenious idea and seems like it was meant to be since the motel had an existing salt water pool that gets fresh ocean water with the tide. If you get the chance it is a must see!!! ���
I haven't been in person, but I follow the web site! Love it! Love the care they give to the beautiful turtles! Thank you for the awesome job! ����
