An excellent volunteer job, great place to learn and love endangered species. Protect them before the economic vultures take them all.
My best friend took me there for the first time and it's so amazing. They tell you about what they do and it's safe and fun for all kids. I recommend this place for any family.
Nice visit for some learning about local wildlife. There is also a turtle hospital. Chances are you'll run into recently rescued turtles 🐢 You will be able to see what the veterinarians are working on from the main windows inside the center. Very neat! Must visit.
Absolutely loved this place. My husband and I showed up just in time to feed the stingrays and that was so awesome. The entrance fee is inexpensive and I really enjoyed seeing the turtles and all the other animals.
Fun and affordable. There could be a couple more exhibits/ animals. It was very interesting and the kids enjoyed it. The staff was also very friendly.
Such a great little place. The staff interact with the guests, answer questions, and educate. Petting and feeding the stingrays is a highlight for sure. Also seeing the turtles in the hospital area is pretty fascinating. And the cost is beyond reasonable. If you come often get the family membership. It more than pays for itself.
Great place to take the children. Cheap, educational and fun for all ages. You can touch stingrays and learn about ocean life. I would recommend everyone go to the marine science center.
My children loved feeding and petting the rays. They also loved being able to ask the staff questions. Shannon was absolutely wonderful and really took the time to explain things to my children at levels they understand. Then, they got the added joy of seeing the octopus playing! They were so excited to see that as well as being able to hold all the sea urchins and sea cucumbers. They were really excited to see the not very full sea turtle hospital because that means there aren't a lot of sick or injured turtles! We are already planning another visit. This place is wonderful for teaching conservation and care. I highly recommend it!
This place is beautiful in the since of what they do for injured/sick marine life! The staff is great and so much knowledge. I took my one year young here to break up a rainy day. He was free and I was only $5. He loves fish. All the tanks are at his height to see, he bounced from aquarium to aquarium so excitedly. There is a octopus in a tank that plays ball, so fascinating. The touch sting ray tank is fun, just keep a eye on the little ones so the pacifier doesn't end up with taking a swim. We will be purchasing a pass to continue to learn from this facility. There website is full of details. Enjoy
The entire family loves this place. They have rehabilitated more than 20,000sea turtles and 13,000 birds since 2002. Admission price is low: Currently $5 for adults and $3 for kids under 12. The octopus is my favorite animal. Learn something new every visit.
Good place for children to learn about sea creatures. It is a small place and parking is extremely limited! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Good rainy day activity.
Brought our 19 month old daughter and she loved it! It's a very non-commercial small aquarium, science center, and rehab for injured birds and sea turtles! The staff were great and interactive.
The lady guide was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job informing everyone about the stingrays, horseshoe crab and hermit crab. She had the patience of Job with the people, mostly the adults, who did not listen to her instructions for petting the stingrays in the touch pool.
A very pleasant and informative experience. Thank you do much!!!
