Loggerhead Marinelife Center Reviews

great place to visit. Learned lots. Only wish there was more to see. Can't wait for the expansion project to be completed.

Wonderful work with affordable, educational tours that get you up close to turtles.

Great learning center. Turtle hospital with information for the whole family. Great place to take the kids and place to donate for a good cause!

Great place for kids and adults! After you're done in there head out back to the park by the water and have a picnic

We did the guided tour with the kids and it was great. Saw the turtles up close and learned a lot about turtles and conservation. This is great for all ages and I think everyone needs to learn about these marvelous beings.

Nice facility. Some staff worked on the turtles without explanations so the volunteers did the best they could to fill us in.

It's a wonderful example of how unselfish, dedicated, loving caring rescues and renews such gentle ocean creatures.

Interesting and informative center about turtles and their rescues.

Unique displays, hatchlings. Plan in advance, releases babies and injured adults. And quit plastic lines and none degrading hooks, do your bit!

So neat to see these huge, vulnerable animals up close. So heartening that people are trying to protect them from the damage we humans have caused to their environment. Very interesting and educational for all ages. Bring some cash for a donation to enter

So nice to see turtles up close and learn more about them. The store had a lot of great stuff to buy.

It was amazing to see how well the turtles are cared for! Really good to know they can get a second chance back in the wild!

I can't think of anything negative about this place. The cause is beautiful, the museum aspect is fun, and the distance to the beach is really convenient. I wish this place has a paid entrance because they deserve it with the amount of turtles they rehabilitate.

If you plan to visit keep in mind the Center is relatively small. A lot of space goes to some medical rooms and a space for reserved events. You might want to visit the beach right after. It's 5 minutes East, walking from the parking lot.

Great center and great mission! Highly recommend a visit!

Loved these Thic Booiiis! Thank you to everyone there helping them back to good health!

An outstanding place to visit with the kids. It's both educational and entertaining.

The center is free to enter with a suggested donation. They have a daily Turtle Talk at 10:30am and tours at 12:30 and 2:30pm that are $10 for adults. The turtle talk was interesting - volunteers go over anatomy of turtles and specifics of the seven marine turtle species worldwide. It's a fun educational event for kids and teens since they pass around turtle shells and skulls. Volunteer docents are also available to give more info about the turtles out in the tanks which are in various stages of recovery. The center has a full veterinary facility on site to help care for and treat the turtles brought to the center, and there's a big window to see them as they work. I really recommend spending an hour or two here, it's a great way to get out of the sun for a bit and learn more about endangered, local species!

This place is amazing! Love what they can do here. So glad that they save turtles.

Rene was fantastic, informative! Saw hatchlings and juveniles and adult sea turtles recovering, doing well. Thank you to all the volunteers there!

And readers of all ages, stop perpetuating plastic and other bad trash! Our planet is not disposing of it. In fact, you are probably ingesting it at this point. It does Not end up getting reused and recycled! That's a big, fat myth corporations want you to think.

Saw tons of turtles and tons of hatchlings! I love coming to this place!

Great experience. Recommend to everyone visiting this town. On top of all of that these guys are really making a difference ;)

Amazing place, doing so much with so little to help sea turtles and educate the public. Well worth the visit and your support.

The sea turtles are grateful for a place to recover here.

Wonderful rehabilitation station for the many species of sea turtles in the area. Very educational about the detrimental human impact on these animals and what we can do to help plus was free (donations welcome). The children loved it.

You are very kind to these loggerheads I wish I had more time in your area to have enjoyed this place

This place rescues hurt sea turtles and nurses them back to health. Once healed they are released back into the ocean.

Great place to visit. Take the kids and have a wonderful day.

Great informative center, big turtles and a good hospital, nice gift shop. Right next to the beach too

Wonderful work they're doing here with the sea turtles! A fun environment for adults and children. Plenty of staff to answer questions.

Loggerhead does an amazing job of caring for our area's injured turtles. I do wish there were low viewing areas or step-ups for younger children to see in all the tanks.
I'm looking forward to the expansion, for it means rescue apace door more turtles and more educational opportunities.

This place is AWESOME. A must if you are visiting and want to experience these beautiful creatures. We got to see a bunch of newly hatched sea turtles (displaced due to hurricane Dorian) which was PRICELESS. The friendly volunteers made me want to volunteer, which is how it should be! Highly recommend!

This is a very small center, so great for a quick outing or for someone who can't do much walking. The $10 hour long (went over by 15 minutes!) guided tour was very informative and enjoyable. Loved hearing about the individual personalities of the turtles currently in their care.

It's a wonderful thing what they are doing with all the rescues and educating visitors about seaturtles. One visit and you feel like volunteering and just be a part of it.

The seed for the this education, conservation, rehabilitation, and scientific center was started over 40 years by Eleanor Fletcher known locally as the "Turtle Lady". Eleanor had a real estate business in the area and she became enamored of the sea turtles on the beach. As she began to study the turtles she quickly began to realize that the hatchlings were in danger from man made development in the area.

Eleanor felt the best way to help the turtles was to educate children and the public and so in 1983 the Children's Museum of Juno Beach was born. After another incarnation in 1990 the current space that houses the center was opened in 2007. The new green facility includes research labs, a veterinarian clinic, classrooms, exhibit halls, outdoor rehabilitation tanks, and a gift shop. They suggest a $5 per person donation to tour the center. While suggested it is by no means mandatory. The money you donate and spend in the gift shop is used to help the turtles. If you look on their web site you can see a list of the current turtle patients as well as view them through a turtle cam. Another way you can help the turtles is by financially sponsoring a specific turtle. Also on the web site is a calendar listing all kinds of events like kids programs, tours, birthday parties, story times, and camps. In keeping with Eleanor's original idea to educate the children in order to ensure the sea turtles survival the center offers a lot of great kids programs.

Although sadly Eleanor is no longer with us the effort to save sea turtles lives on through the vision she had to create this amazing center. Inspired by her love for the sea turtles you can come here and see an army of volunteers carrying on her precious work. Thanks to Eleanor Juno beach has one of the most active sea turtle nesting areas in the entire world!

Great place to meet the turtles. Very informative for adults and kids.

Up close with the turtles. Very knowledgeable volunteers.

This place is not only beautiful, but the staff is friendly, caring, well educated and provide an amazing amount of information. The actual place is not large, but well worth it. Behind the institute there is a park for the kids and beach access. Our family absolutely loved it!

Up close viewing of the turtles was incredible. Great family outing

This place started with the beat of intentions.... now they run it like a business. They have turtles sponsored by Tiffany & CO.... they even have the gall to call Ted Turner a "environmentalist". Turtles are in tiny tanks.....some are sick and need this.... I understand that. Don't get me started on the amount of plastic stuff in the gift shop.

This place is there to give the perception of making a difference, it is a business.... their main sponsor is the reason most of the turtles are there!!!! According to a sign outside they have raised millions of dollars last year.... but the money is allocated for building development....the turtles are still in tiny tanks with no vegetation or anything.

I had my hopes sky high for this place and when I asked the staff about some of these inconsistencies..... they told me I was wrong and dismissed everything I said. I work in the environmental field and it truly is a passion of mine.

Amazing place. Loved the personal tour we got. It was neat to be so close to sea turtles.

This organization is doing so much for the turtles that it is a must see if you are in the area. Young, old and in between will find this a treasure. Every time I go, they have added new information, and the volunteers are so well versed in their info.

Really a amazing experience!! Parking is free! The entrance is basically free, they just asked for a small donation which can be $5.00.
You and the kids will love it. I highly recommend!!

Fun side trip. Volunteers friendly and knowledgeable. Clean, well maintained, good educational experience. Doesn't take long to cover the center-- maybe an hour or so. Lovely gift shop. Every at center was friendly and happy to be there

Small educational aquarium type area, gift shop has really cool items. There is also a snack bar.

Outdoors is the sea turtle hospital area! They have many little pools for the recovering turtles to live in. The volunteers have been super friendly and educational on each of our visits. They do not charge an admittance fee, but do request a $5 per person donation. Highly recommended!

Awesome place to bring the kids. Free to get in (though they do ask for donations). The volunteers are very nice and happy to answer any questions. They also are very engaging. You can see into their hospital quarters which is cool. If you follow the path around the building it will bring you to a playground, and if you continue on that path through the parking lot behind their building it will bring you to a tunnel that goes under the road and straight onto the beach. It's literally a five minute walk. My kids had a great time and we didn't have to spend a penny. They also have a cute gift shop, but prices are way to expensive.

One of my favorite places to be and to take friends from out of town. I love the work they do and the compassion they show to the turtles they find and rehabilitate. They have great outreach and educational programs and truly bring awareness to the endangered nature of sea turtles and their ecosystem. It's great that you're able to see so many turtles up close and can look into the turtle hospital room through the glass to watch them clean and sometimes treat turtles.

Quick note: Lots of construction going on but it doesn't impinge on the experience as far as I have seen during my visits!

Their are doing great things there. Great place to take the family and lots of things to buy in gift shop

I love touring the turtle rehab center. Great picnic area, beaches, changing rooms, and public restrooms.

Kids love the loggerheads. Very educational exhibits and staff. Money earned here goes to a good cause.

It s a fantastic place to take your family and friends to watch sea turtles. You ll learn a lot about marine wildlife. The staff is wonderful and very informative. Love the gift shop! Worth the visit every summer because there s always some new addition to the center.

What a great place. You get to interact with the turtles and learn so much

Small but very nice rehabilitation center. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their jobs of educating the public and helping the turtles. My family and I had a great time. Kid friendly, too!

Fantastic work done here to preserve nature..we saw do many beautiful turtles and learnt so much about them! A must see! Great gift shop too

Great place to visit! Interesting exposition, great service, welcoming atmosphere. Enjoyed being there

Great place to learn about the loggerhead turtle rescues.

Loved watching the turtles and knowing they are helping them have a second choice at life!

Coolest place ever. Bring your friends and family! A great learning experience for all!

I've of my daughters favorite places in the world. Staff is sweet and knowledgeable.

Very polite staff/volunteers. The CDC guidelines were enforced and we still enjoyed learning about the sea turtles.

Awesome turtle release today! Thank you to all voluteers who made this happen.

A very educational place, great for children as well as adults!

I love coming here when I go to west palm for vacation. It is amazing to witness all of the improvements the turtles make and the activities they have for kids.

Amazing place to go with free admission, went as a day trip. The museum is filled with so many facts about turtles, and the volunteers know so much about the rescue turtles they have. My favorite was the baby turtles and there gift shop!

This was a very worthwhile visit with the recovering turtles. Very knowledgeable attendants , courteous and eager to elaborate on the many questions asked. A very worthwhile project. Great visit.

We come here every time we visit the area. The kids love it!

They fix sick and injured turtles. Interpretive displays. Great for kids. Recovering patients on display. Almost enough parking. Popular.

I really liked all the exhibits given here and it was a very fun place to go. Loved all the sea animals you can see and the turtles you can learn about.

Dear Linda I like to say thank you to Jim Steve and I think it was Terry wonderful guys ,

everything I can't complain russ and Janice Digristina

Have been visiting since they started in the trailers. Wonderful & so thankful for this rescue they do wonderful work.

A bit of a walk in the Florida heat to get to the entry during construction, but worth it! This is always a spot I bring my my out of town guests. I love seeing the turtles and chatting with the friendly staff about them. Really well stocked gift shop with a good selection of eco-friendly, high quality brands. The expansion of the building is exciting and I can't wait to visit again when construction is done to see!
