If you are visiting the Treasure Coast of Florida, or even live in the area and haven't done so, you must do yourself a favor and visit the Loggerhead MarineLife Center.... you won't be disappointed. This is an amazing place to get insight into the life cycle of all sea turtles and see the rehab efforts of injured ones. The Center is free, though a donation is recommended, but my wife and I took the guided tour ($20 each) and sure glad we did. The guide (Melissa) was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough in all aspects of the various sea turtles and it made the day even more special. My wife has loved sea turtles for years and we both now have a deeper appreciation for these loving creatures. I can definitely say we will be making return visits to the Loggerhead MarineLife Center.

This place satisfied three generations of females in our family, spanning 56 years. The youngest even plans on coming back again at a later date she loved it so much. The older two have been there multiple times. Check their website before going and you will have an idea of how many turtles are there for rehab, in addition to their regular marine life. We were able to see some hatchlings the last time. I always check out the seahorses and jellyfish among others. Volunteers are easily accessible to answer your marine life questions.

This facility was top notch, impressive , warm and inviting! From the lobby to the beautiful gift shop to the tour of the operating room and treatment room yo the tanks where our tour saw amazing turtles. Blew me away!

We paid for the hour-long tour + made (unnecessary but cost-free) reservations for the 1:30pm feedings at the tanks (friends told us not to miss that). Howard was our tour guide and he was terrific, answering questions along the way. It's obvious that he loves volunteering that and his enthusiasm and care came through. The work this organization is doing is incredible; literally saving one turtle at a time, and being able to see them in their individual tanks up close drove home much of what we learned from Howard. HIGHLY recommend a visit with or without kids! It's almost all outdoors (all covered) except for one activity space, which also has a few more tanks with seahorses and jellyfish.

My family very much enjoyed our visit today. I care deeply about our planet, our oceans and the creatures who call them home. This year, I have grown my interest in and love for sea turtles. This center is a rescue and hospital facility for these amazing animals, and offers wonderful education via various programs, tours and terrific volunteers. I felt like I had an intimate experience with the turtles receiving care, and waiting for the day they can be released back to their ocean home. Go, and give generously to help this worthy cause.

This is a great place to visit! The volunteers were chock full of information about the current inhabitants. There is a room with screens where kids can color in their own fish and then send them to the reef (a screen with fish swimming). There is a sculpture made completely of plastic found in the oceans.

This is a really interesting place. The docents were knowledgeable and explained a lot about the individual turtles. The number of turtles there is totally dependent on what has happened lately, so it could be a lot (we saw 25) or very few. It is free but it’s a hard sell to donate.

Highly recommended- very informative place to visit to learn about sea turtles and the incredible conservation work taking place. The public tour is worth the extra time and fee, the guides are excellent and happy to answer questions whilst explaining how the center functions and the individual turtles on site at the time. Top tip- leave plenty of time for getting through local traffic and to park on site.

We loved our experience at the center today! What a wonderful thing they are doing by helping rehabilitate all of those sea turtles. The kids loved seeing the loggerhead and green turtles, as well as one hawksbill. Very informative and even had visitors watch the shark and fish feeding sessions. Extremely clean facility, snack bar, and lovely gift shop. Highly recommend a visit for anyone in the area!

Loved this place. Its free but please leave a donation! Very organized and well kept. Everyone was nice and the turtles were adorable. It can be tough to park though…. Also, don’t forget to visit the beautiful beach just behind the building
