Amazing place and mission to save injured turtles. It's a nonprofit and exists on donations

★★★★★Geri Blish

What a great experience! Learned so much about the turtle rehab and go to see some of the long term residents! Highly recommend going and checking it all out !

★★★★★Suzie Hubbard

We’ve gone to the Sea Turtle hospital each year while we are at South Padre, Tx. The work they do with the turtles is so very important. Many times we’ve seen turtles who’ve had to have prosthetics or surgery so having the opportunity to see and learn what these people do for them is great. The facility has been renovated recently. It’s a nice family educational facility. The cost is worth the help provided to the turtles.

★★★★Zac Eckart

A little spendy but we really enjoyed

★★Maria Kryuchkova

All the tanks were filthy, we were very concerned for the health and safety of the turtles. Tanks were covered with extensive algae and debris. Lots of the tour pitch covered the new facility and building out the dome in the back for presentations. Wish it was more animal focussed. Seemed very profit driven in comparison to the alligator exhibit next door.
