This is a great place to view sea animals in rehabilitation. They have interpretive programs at various times throughout the day, The admission is only $5.00 so it is not an expensive thing to do with your family.

Very small but not expensive. I think it was like $3.00 a person. Very informative and had some cool birds to see.

This was a pretty interesting place to visit, especially with kids. They have a lot of different tanks and exhibits to look at. They also have a touch pool with cow nose rays in it. You can also see turtles that are getting treatment. There is also a bird sanctuary across the parking lot.

Learned a lot at this center. Great for any age. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They do a great service for the wild life in the area. The price is right and is located in a beautiful spot.
