A great job is being done here. Many, mostly voluntary, helpers take care of injured turtles.

Interesting exhibition and access to the care ward. The helpers look forward to questions and provide competent answers.

There is no entry fee, but you are happy to receive a donation ($ 5 per person is certainly appropriate).

It's worth it!

These people are SO KNOWLEDGEABLE!!! This place is amazing, and very kid friendly! It's free, they just ask for a donation- which is more than fair, considering what they are accomplishing there. I highly recommend you go during a tour, it's worth it! You get an in depth explanation of everything they are doing, and a rundown on the turtles in residence.

Also, the gift shop is friggin' adorable!

Much bigger and better than I imagined. Lots of information on sea turtles, the ocean and how we can help. Good place for families. There are kids programs available. Nice gift shop. Seeing the turtles in their rehab tanks is amazing. Every so often a sea turtle is released back into the ocean at the beach across the street. Get there early! Hundreds of people show up to watch this moving spectacle. I have witnessed two released and each one brings tears of joy to my eyes . Wonderful place. A must see in Palm Beach.

A great place to take the kids for 30 minutes and let them see the turtles. The volunteers are very friendly. There s no fee, but donate a few bucks if you can. Buy an ice cream for the kids and there s a playground next to it, also the beach is across the street!

Awesome sea turtle hospital with interesting exhibits on oceanic conservation. Free admission but given how awesome their mission is you'll want to leave a donation. At the time I visited there were plenty of sea turtles to see.

Great little tour and briefing about sea turtles. Turtle rescue and hospital. Make night time reservation to hopefully witness a turtle coming ashore, digging a whole and dropping nearly 100 eggs which will hatch and with much luck return to the same spot to drop eggs and future hatchlings. Awesome experience.
Extra bonus for daytime visit. Right across the street from the ocean for a great water swim or snooze on the beach!

Wonderful, heartwarming place. You get to see the turtles in their recuperation tanks while we learn about the effects of human trash in their environment. It's a great educational, free experience.

Make sure to stop at the gift shop and "adopt/sponsor" one of the turtles. Sign up for their emails. When the turtles are well enough, they are returned to the ocean and that is quite the experience. It's a must in anyone''s bucket list.

There is nothing compariable to being able to witness a Loggerhead turtle nesting. Make sure to take the effort and sign up for the Night time Turtle walk. Within 15 minutes of our presentation a loggerhead turtle was sighted on the beach. We were led down to the beach, and paused at the steps as the full moon glowed red on the horizon . Our guide explained fully about what we were going to view. It was a quite, moving experience. Well worth the effort to sign up.

Wonderful staff. Has an animal hospital right here to care for the injured turtles and prepare for release when able. Ask do they have an upcoming scheduled release so you can come and watch.

Great place for information regarding all sea life, especially the sea turtles (loggerhead and green, specifically). The feeding time is a great time to go- it's free and a guide walks you through the various oceanic zones of aquatic life.
In the back are dozens of adorable baby sea turtles (during summer hatching season) as well as various adult turtles they are rehabilitating.
Great for the family or solo adult!

This place is a must-see if you are visiting Jupiter! The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about their "patients." It is amazing to be able to see these beautiful sea turtles up close. Be sure to leave a nice donation at the door! :)

Excellent information on all sea turtles and other marine life. Excellent place for children of all ages. My granddaughter is going to a junior marine biology camp there right now and she is loving it. They had the pleasure of being a party to the release of two sea turtles today at the beach. Highly recommend this place.

Turtles found injured or sick in the wild are brought here to receive medical attention. They are kept in open-top holding tanks that have viewing windows on the sides while they are treated for injuries and infections. When the turtles have returned to full health they are released back into the wild.

This facility offers an opportunity for the public to observe turtles of many species close up and to learn more about them. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and eager to pass on information about these fascinating creatures. There is an adjoined education center and giftshop.

The centre also is involved in conservation, ensuring the security of spawning turtles and their eggs at nearby Juno Beach and in operating the Juno Beach Pier. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is agreat place to observe and learn more about wild turtles. I highly recommend a visit. Admission is by donation.

I went here for turtle fest 2018. The staff and volunteers here are extremely passionate at what they do. It was a neat festival and the setup was good. Besides the turtle section, this place had food trucks and more to entertain us.

Really interesting to see the turtles up close. Many tanks and a host of ailments being treated. Family friendly activity with many learning opportunities. Donations of $5 asked for admission. It s a lovely way to spend an hour or two.

Best attraction in the area and the money raised goes toward saving turtles. My kids love this place! They are expanding, which is very exciting and the expansion should be done Spring 2021.

This place is great, very knowledgable staff of volunteers. Everyone is super friendly. They had a lot of turtles to look at, what we loved the most was that it is also built next to the beach so when we were done with our tour we walked over and played in the ocean. It is also free.
