This is a must see for nature lovers and a should see for those who may not be. It is very informative. Small and not overwhelming. It is a wonderful educational experience and if you don't love the turtles before you go in or go on the turtle walk you should after this experience.

If you have questions about sea turtles this is the place to go for answers. The gift shop has many different gifts and people there are knowledgeable. Sign up early for the Turtle walks. It is a great opportunity to see our sea turtles in action. The night starts out with a slide show presentation and Q and A. Then... More

Call in mMay to reserve a spot on the best deal around for June and July. They show you a nesting sea turtle at night. Great gift shop and education centter.....all not for profit. You can tell those folks like sea turtles

My family, including 2 boys (aged 10 & 5), had the pleasure of watching loggerhead turtles nest on the beach in Melbourne, Florida. It was an amazing site, that we'll never forget. It was infinitely more enjoyable to watch these turtles for 10-20 minutes than it was to spend the entire day at Sea World, with their contrived animal shows.
