School Field Trips

• Monday through Friday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
• Fees are $5 per child for an hour-long program or $7 per child for an hour and a half-long program.
(Chaperones are free but donations are welcome and greatly appreciated)
• All programs are by reservation only.
• Maximum of 60 students. If your group exceeds this number, please call 561.627.8280 ext. 119
or email eorellana@marinelife.org to discuss.
Our field trips offer an extensive education into the world of sea turtles. The guides will discuss sea turtle behavior, morphology, habitats, nesting, etc. We are happy to tailor our field trips to fit your needs! Our education team will design a customized program for you. The following area highlights may be included in your field trip depending on circumstance, weather, and other factors. Each portion of your trip will last 20-30 minutes.
Exhibit Hall - Our up front exhibit hall is hands-on and informative with native salt water tanks and a replica of Archelon, the largest sea turtle to ever live.
Education Room - The education room is great for groups to see, up close, actual specimens of the five species of turtles that inhabit the waters off the Florida Coast along with a short talk about the differences between each.
Sea Turtle Yard - The FPL turtle yard offers a front row opportunity for the students to see our rehab patients and learn a little about what brought them to the facility and their prognosis.
Beach - A quick trip to one of the most prolific loggerhead nesting beaches in the world - right in our back yard! Your guide will highlight this and other topics discussed during your trip. With any luck, we may be able to spot a nest location and figure out what species of sea turtle left the tracks leading up to it.
Please inform your field trip guide if your students want time to shop.
All proceeds from our gift shop go directly to feeding and caring for the turtles!
