5 star rating Such a cool experience to see these turtles being rehabilitated so their journey can continue. I asked the staff lots of questions and they were all so genuinely interested in talking about each one. I love to see the caring environment surrounding a great cause.

Gevonden op Googlemaps en omdat we niet wisten wat te doen er gewoon naartoe gereden. Entree is donatie voor het centrum. Er worden zieke of gewonde zeeschildpadden opgevangen. Er zijn haaien te zien en andere vissoorten. Ook is er een dierenkliniek waar de dieren verzorgd worden. Erg leuk en leerzaam.

5 star rating I would highly recommend the guided turtle walk to any nature lover. Firstly, we watched an excellent and informative presentation about turtles. Then we got the green light to go down to the beach and watch a female loggerhead lay her eggs! A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable, and you can tell they truly care about the health, safety, and wellbeing of these stunning creatures.

5 star rating What a wonderful way to spend a few hours - viewing turtles, preciously injured or ill, that are being well-cared for and rehabilitated to be released back into the water. Friendly and knowledgeable staff welcomed us and answered our questions. We were immersed in a compelling part of nature and learned a lot. We walked through the marine center ourselves but there are also guided tours that are well worth the money. Highly recommend a visit!

5 star rating I attended a hatchling release. The presentation prior to the release was well organized and the staff were very knowledgeable. Once we were on the beach the staff were professional in handling the hatchling. These people are passionate about what they do!

5 star rating Ce lieu était fantastique. Nous avions réservé un tour privé avant l’ouverture du centre au public. C’était super d’avoir des explications à propos des différentes espèces de tortues qui étaient simples et précises. Merci beaucoup à Jack de nous avoir transmis sa passion et ses explications très clairs. Nous avons passé un super moment et remercions le centre pour leur travail accompli envers ses tortues.

5 star rating What a happy place. We always stop by Loggerhead Marinelife Center. This year was a great visit. The newly enhanced center was a delightful surprise. On one of the exhibit’s my grandkids made sea creature surprises and then they found them in a very colorful aquarium. The classrooms for children especially the vet class experience was just perfect for my 6, 9, and 10 year olds. Pam was a great teacher! Very enjoyable 🐢🐠🐟🐡

Went here yesterday and it was great. Staff was very knowledgeable and nice. I read some of the one star reviews and they are pathetic. This facility and all efforts are by donation only. They do not require any admission fees. However, I donated $10 initially when I walked in, but after seeing how much good they are doing to rehabilitate the sea turtles in their tanks, surgery’s and so forth, I donated an additional $20 on my way out. It may not be everybody’s cup of tea to see the turtles, but they are doing good for the ecosystem & that is what it is about. It is not an aquarium, it is to show the public what they are doing. Now to someone like me, who is big on water conservation, I personally find it very interesting. Be respectful.

5 star rating Stephen and Mary gave an excellent tour. They provided very interesting, informative and comprehensive information about the lives of the sea turtles that inhabit the Treasure Coast region and demonstrated the wonderful work being done at the center to benefit these beautiful animals.

5 star rating Great place to see and learn about this great resource. They accept injured turtles and rehab them til they are released back into the ocean. Donations are voluntary. Turtles range from hatchlings to adults and many have names. They are staffed by volunteers who care and administer treatments for each turtle.

Absolutelust if you love wildlife as our family does. The staff is amazing and very informative. Really opens your mild to the havock humans cause. virtual reality medical lab to show you where the turtles come in for medical help. The kids and adults both enjoyed the interactive Jr. Veterinarian Lab. Can't wait to see it after construction

5 star rating This is an amazing facility! The animals are receiving the best care as they recover from injuries and the staff is friendly and full of wisdom and information. You will not regret stopping here and soaking in the experience! These turtles are amazing creatures and the classes and nature hike are wonderful! Our children participated in the JR. Veterinarian Lab and we came back the following day for the Juno Dunes hike.
