A must if you come to Marathon. Lots of great information. You get to see sea turtles on their way to recovery.

Incredibly important work they are doing to save, treat and care for sea turtles. The educational opportunities for the public about the turtles and general environmental stewardship is invaluable. I had a custom tour today led by Bette, General Manager. She is the best cheerleader and advocate sea turtles could have. I highly recommend a visit.

We had such an amazing time here! The work that is done to save all the turtles is awesome. The hospitality shown to myself, husband and daughter was wonderful. Thank you guys for all you do. You welcomed Copout Adventures and Home Town Hero Alliance (with the camera crew) with open arms. ����

Can’t say that I hated it, cause I didn’t get a chance to see anything. Says it’s open till 6. Got here at 4:45 and got shot down. Their merchandise shop is open till 6. Drove a long way for nothing. Their website should state this. Not happy!
