Very informative guide and lots of turtles to look at! You will learn so much about sea turtles that you didn't know. It is amazing that they have survived our modern world today with all of the odds stacked up against them!

We decided to go to the Turtle Hospital because our youngest saw it and asked if we could go. Our oldest (teen) wasn't exactly excited. Much to our surprise, we all really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hours we spent here. Even the teen said "that was pretty cool" as we walked away. Very informative and interesting. A unique experience to...

You Learn and see Turtles as they are healing from boatmotor injuries and turtles that have ate trash thrown in the ocean or gulf that has made them sick. Some of the turtles will live there until they died because there injuries are so severe they can't make it on there own.

We visited the turtle hospital on June 2, 2013 during our recent trip to the Florida Keys. What an amazing place! It was raining the day we stopped in and honestly I am thankful that it did otherwise we might not have done so. It was extremely educational and interesting and well worth the $15 (p.p.) given that it goes... More

I cannot begin to explain how amazing this place is. It is non profit, all proceeds go to saving (rescuing, rehabilitation and releasing ) the turtles. I had learned more than I ever imagined I would. They are truly doing amazing things!

My family loved the turtle hospital. The staff is very friendly. We learned a lot about the dangers that sea turtles face. At the end of the tour you get to visit the turtle residents and feed them.

We loved our tour at the Turtle Hospital. It was very educational and interesting. The facility and the work they do to help the injured and sick turtles is impressive. We really enjoyed seeing these beautiful creatures up close. This was definitely one of the highlights of our first trip to the Keys.
