My Husband and I stopped through here on our way to Key West. It was certainly worth the stop--only $15 per adult. All the proceeds go to the operations of the hospital.Make sure to arrive early so you can read the displays to educate yourself about turtles before your tour. Our guide was very friendly, and his love for these... more

The Turtle Hospital in Marathon provided 90 minutes of education and plenty of "oohs" and "aahs." My wife, daughter and just got back from a visit and we felt that it was worth the price of admission (Adults are approx $20, kids $12). It was well organized and our guide was very informative. The tour begins with a 30-40 minute... more

The staff/volunteers were all professional, knowledgeable and friendly. This is a highly recommended place to... more

Took a tour of the Turtle Hospital. It was very interesting to see how they take the turtles, nurse them back to health and if possible return them to the wild. I'd recommend this to just about everyone. more

My husband, son, and I recently visited the Turtle Hospital in Marathon. We had reservations several weeks in advance and were glad we did, as many "drop ins" attempted to find slots that same day. We absolutely loved the informative portion of the tour as well as the trip down to the pools to visit the turtles. We learned so... more
