I love how they keep it clean and it's so informational. The turtle exhibits are amazing, and they have nice aquariums too. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Great place to visit and good for families too! Parking is free, but I went during a busy time, so had to do several laps before a spot opened up. I'd definitely visit again!

Love this place absolutely beautiful perfect place to take the kids for an outing and it's really inexpensive the staff is so nice and so willing to want to help they are incredibly informational and will do the best they can answering any questions you may have. The bathrooms are incredibly clean and so are the fish tanks as well as the living conditions of the sea turtles so worth donating to this organization. Just be CAREFUL there are alot of banana spiders in the butterfly garden as well as baby crabs I'm so glad I came here to check this place out will definitely be back.
