the work done at this place brings tears to my eyes. Sea turtles are amazing beautiful creatures. We visited during a crazy tropical storm. They gave us all ponchos to wear but the wind was whipping, the rain actually hurt and it was flooding. Despite these conditions our host continued to show us the turtles and tell us about each...

An excellent and humbling experience. We were really pleased to pay the admission fee $15, worth every cent knowing it was going to a non profit operation that was dedicated to helping turtles. Our tour guide was a very knowledgeable young lady who we're sure had given the talk hundreds of times before but made it sound like the first... More

We enjoyed the tour of the Turtle Hospital. Good to know that the turtles have an advocate because they are on the endangered list. The gal that gave the tour was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The fee goes to keep the hospital operating. Overall we really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

I have wanted to go here for over a decade and am excited to say it was better and more educational than I ever thought. We had young kids and the crew was very patient. The older kids >5 were really interested and able to interact with the questions and the information about the turtles. This facility receives turtles from... More

We went to the Turtle Hospital because our son wanted to. They do 90 minute tours and I thought it was just going to be a junky tourist trap but it turned out to be a real hospital (complete with 2 ambulances!), where they really rescue injured and sick turtles that are brought in from all over the world. They... More

Sea turtles are hurt every day by boaters and fishermen, and the Turtle Hospital in Marathon, FL is there to help them out. Here, they take in injured and sick turtles to rehabilitate them. After they are ready to be returned to the wild, the staff here makes sure they are returned nearest to where the turtle was found. However,... More

This was an exceptional experience. The staff was very knowledgeable and passionate, and truly truly cared about their turtles. I learned so much and those turtles were just so freakin cute I couldn't stand it. My group was a fairly large group (a school group joined into my session), so it was a little cramped on the inside portions, but... More

First of all--the turtles are adorable. Secondly, you will learn so much about turtles; and they are surprisingly fascinating. The program is long and definitely worth the small expense, which all goes back to support the turtle hospital anyways. The staff is very knowledgeable and courteous. Great for kids, couples, families--everyone!

Very nice set up. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Wish they offered water for purchasing. Very hot.
