to expect to see on your visit |

Educational
presentations are offered throughout the day. These turtle talks teach
the public about the mission of Sea Turtle, Inc and the species of sea
turtles found in the area. Depending on the time of year and the number
of visitors present for the "turtle talk" a Sea Turtle, Inc.
staff member will present to you in one of two ways. If there are a large
number of visitors present, the talk will be in our amphitheatre. If the
number of visitors is small then the staff member may be able to take
you around our outside tanks as a group. |

Sea Turtle, Inc. is happy to accommodate groups if a reservation is made. We will alter the presentations to be age appropriate for school groups. For more information on how to book a group presentation please call us at (956) 761- 4511. We often use our very own sea turtle costume to show children the anatomy of sea turtles (pictured below). The turtle costume is a fun way for kids to understand the difference between sea turtles and land turtles. A main mission of this organization is to educate the public. Make an appointment for your school or group to join in on the fun! Click Here For Outreach Program Prices Around The Rio Grande Valley |
