Georgia Sea Turtle Center

Had an amazing experience! The staff were fantastic answering our questions, they are really passionate about turtles and about sharing this! Really cute and happy to have contributed to preserving turtles

Joy one of the volunteers is an absolute gem! Her passion for the turtles is amazing - she was full of knowledge and spent a good amount of time answering our questions and showing us how she feeds some of the little turtles. Would highly recommend spending some time in the tank area viewing the rescued turtles and talking with the volunteers and staff. The interior of the museum was educational but could use a little refresh in my opinion. Otherwise a delightful experience!

The visit here was the highlight of our trip into Jekyll Island. It was very educational. The staff and volunteers here are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you may have. We also loved getting to see the turtles (and a small alligator) that are currently there being rehabilitated. It's not a terribly big place, but great for what it is. They dont receive any state or federal funds, so I'm happy knowing that our admission tickets, as well as purchases from the gift shop, can help to fund the important work that they do. We would enjoy a return trip upon returning to Jekyll Island.

We took the behind the scenes tour with Kristen. We were given a tour of the hospital area and introduced to the staff. They were busy working on a sea turtle and a small alligator both had been hit by cars. It was a fantastic tour so interesting. I can’t recommend this tour enough, worth every penny.

We absolutely loved our visit to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. It’s educational, engaging, and inspiring…perfect for both kids and adults. The exhibits are well-designed and interactive, offering fascinating insights into the life cycle, rescue, and rehabilitation of sea turtles. Watching the turtles being cared for in the rehab center was a highlight, you can tell the staff are truly passionate about their work. The staff and volunteers were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to answer questions. The behind-the-scenes tour added an extra layer of appreciation for the incredible effort that goes into protecting these animals. We especially enjoyed the educational videos and hands-on stations that helped us understand the challenges turtles face in the wild. The gift shop has a great sel
