Marine Science Center, Ponce Inlet

My children loved feeding and petting the rays. They also loved being able to ask the staff questions. Shannon was absolutely wonderful and really took the time to explain things to my children at levels they understand. Then, they got the added joy of seeing the octopus playing! They were so excited to see that as well as being able to hold all the sea urchins and sea cucumbers. They were really excited to see the not very full sea turtle hospital because that means there aren't a lot of sick or injured turtles! We are already planning another visit. This place is wonderful for teaching conservation and care. I highly recommend it!

This place is beautiful in the since of what they do for injured/sick marine life! The staff is great and so much knowledge. I took my one year young here to break up a rainy day. He was free and I was only $5. He loves fish. All the tanks are at his height to see, he bounced from aquarium to aquarium so excitedly. There is a octopus in a tank that plays ball, so fascinating. The touch sting ray tank is fun, just keep a eye on the little ones so the pacifier doesn't end up with taking a swim. We will be purchasing a pass to continue to learn from this facility. There website is full of details. Enjoy

Nice people helping animals that have been injured by man kind. Great little place to bring the kids. Well worth the $5. We visit every time we r down. Just helping support the cause.

The lady guide was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job informing everyone about the stingrays, horseshoe crab and hermit crab. She had the patience of Job with the people, mostly the adults, who did not listen to her instructions for petting the stingrays in the touch pool. A very pleasant and informative experience. Thank you do much!!!

The entire family loves this place. They have rehabilitated more than 20,000sea turtles and 13,000 birds since 2002. Admission price is low: Currently $5 for adults and $3 for kids under 12. The octopus is my favorite animal. Learn something new every visit.
