Discover Turtles
This turtle-filled encounter will introduce you to our land-loving African spurred tortoises and seafaring sea turtles at our C.A.R.E. Center. Come get an up-close, personal experience with our beautiful tortoises, and learn about our long-running sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation program!

Slow down… go with the flow
We will begin with a brief overview of the C.A.R.E. Center to learn all about what it takes to rehabilitate a sick or injured wild sea turtle. There, you’ll also get to learn some of the stories of our current sea turtle patients. To continue our time together you’ll get to meet and feed our African spurred tortoises. You’ll learn about our two male tortoises, Squirt and Tractor, and all the remarkable things about them and their species!
* Participants under eight (8) years of age must be accompanied by a participating (paying) adult over the age of eighteen (18).
