5 star rating Took the grands(5 of them)on a rainy day. They had a blast. We loved the jellyfish also. Took some time to shop in the gift shop. Even that was fun. The turtles won the show though. Tank to tank they roamed. Thanks so much for Loggerheads' hard work and dedication.

5 star rating First and foremost: this place is free to get in to and see everything, however, there are voluntary donations at the front desk when you walk in to the lobby. We went on a Sunday afternoon and spent about 4 hours checking out the turtles, hearing their stories, and talking with the staff. This is an awesome place to spend a few hours to a half a day IF you are in to animals and some learning; it will be what you make it. There are a good bit of displays that have a lot of cool information mostly on turtles and some of the other marine life. Tips; - Listen to the staff, they're personable and they have good stories and information on the animal residents - If you want to watch the free movie, make sure to get on the list at the lobby front desk when you walk in to the place. - After your trip to Loggerhead Marinelife Center, look up the FPL Manatee Lagoon. It's relatively close by and sometimes (depending on the time of year), you can see a bunch of Manatee (Sea Potatos).

I booked the sunrise excavation and my girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience. Chris was our tour guide and he did an amazing job. He was very informative and made the experience fun, Chris was also very accommodating to any and all questions. The following night we booked the night time hatchling release and that was also very fun, the two volunteers who taught an educational class beforehand were funny and informative . Everyone, with an exception of one staff member with no customer service skills, that we met with at the Loggerhead marine life center were extremely friendly. Would highly recommend the sunrise excavation, request Chris if you can!

Participated with the turtle nesting guided tour. It was an incredible experience! The staff were knowledgeable and kept the educational conversation interesting and fun while we waited for a female turtle to begin her nesting process. I was so impressed by the Loggehead nesting tour, that i will visit the center during the day! I highly recommend the Loggerhead Marinelife Center!

Nice place to visit with kids. Lots of displays, live experiences and fun area for kids. Located on US Hwh1, near Juno Beach. If ate going towards Juno Beach Ocean Drive you’ll get it on your right before the Ocean Drive traffic signal.

Absolutely love this place!!! It is huge!! The work that they do for sea turtles is so vital! Lots of room to walk around and the staff is very knowledgeable. I love, love, love the fact that admission is on a donation basis. If I was local- I would be here everyday checking these amazing animals out!

5 star rating 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.

5 star rating I took my 3 and 5 year old here for the first day of summer and we were overly impressed. The new facility is well made and gorgeous. There was a summer camp or two present but they did not get in our way. There was plenty of room. The educators are knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and more. We were able to see large turtles in the ICU. We saw turtle feedings, turtle skeletons, and many fish tanks too. My kids were impressed with the sharks. I learned a lot as an adult including the different types of sea turtles, what they eat, and how they nest. There was an indoor area with glowing jellyfish and some additional fish tanks. The kids can design their own fish on this large projector screen. There was even a small cafe outside, but we didn't eat there. Lots of shade. The facility right across the street from Juno beach, you can walk there. Small playground outside of the facility too. Gopher tortoise walking path. Free to get in. Instead they accept donations. Great gift shop. I would highly recommend this place for locals and any visitors (adults or kids). Unique experience.

5 star rating This was an amazing experience. The kids (8) & (5) joined the Junior Research lab. The class was small and very educational. Lots of fun!! The kids got to experience what the researchers do when they find a turtle nest. We got to observe baby turtles (hatchlings) that had been rescued immediately after the class. The interactive aquarium wall was fun for kids to see their drawing come to life. It was thunderstorming so we could not get close to tanks, but could still see them from a distance. The gift shop had a great collection of souvenirs. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Tip: call ahead to see how many turtles are there before taking a trip.

Amazing experience! Up close to turtles getting care including hatchlings. Great gift shop. Able to adopt/sponsor turtles. Inside there is a fun digital reef scene you can design and then release your digital creation into the digital cove. Highly recommend!! Free entry but donations help the cause.
