About

Because it is an active hospital, visitors join a guided program of roughly 70 to 90 minutes that covers the rescue process, a look at treatment areas and a walk past rehab tanks, then ends with feeding non-releasable residents. Turtles cannot be handled. Programs run rain or shine and space is limited, so booking ahead is wise.
