Has anyone been to the turtle hospital in Marathon, Florida?
Yes I plan on going in September. I've been wanting to go for quite a while now. I was curious what others had to say about it. I know a reservation is a must.I can not remember which one member Kerryann just visited.
Are you planning a visit?
Awesome!!! I know that this is basically the same thing. I love sea turtles and to see them up close is amazing!!! When I went snorkeling in Hawaii and saw the most beautiful sea creatures ever...I almost started to cry lol...it was such an amazing experience. Also swimming in the ocean and to just see a sea turtle swimming is total tranquility!!!!!No, but I've been to the Gumbo Limbo Turtle Sanctuary in (or near?) Ft. Lauderdale. They have a treatment center there for injured and sick sea turtles. They seem to do a great job and release any that are rehabilitated sufficiently to stand a reasonable chance.
My husband and I plan on going to the keys in September. I heard it's crowded, but a great place to visit!! But I can't wait to visit the turtle hospital!!Yes. The whole area is cool. There are rescues and exhibits and sanctuaries and parks everywhere you look.
My wife and I go all the way down to Key West at least once a year and rarely ever see the same things twice.
Food and gas is very expensive once you cross the bridge. Bring bottled water.
The Canadians and Northerers are starting to go home now, so travel will be better/easier in the area....No offense to my YANKEE friends.
Awesome!!!! Thanks...I'm really looking forward to going!!I've been it's a very cool place.
They do amazing work. They have a tour of the hospital and the rehab facility at least 3 or 4 times a day.
I make monthly contributions to them.
We plan on going back down there this summer
