    Very nice place. The turtles are huge! Lots of fun things to do, for adults and kids: you can feed turtles ($5/bag; a bag is huge, so one is enough), pet small turtles, snorkel with them (there could be like 15 turtles around you), watch crocodile feeding, turtle feeding and shark feeding. And you can relax on chairs on the small "beach", or go to a restaurant. We had a very nice day spent. The highlight was snorkeling and feeding/petting. This is probably #2 thing to do around the island after Stingray City. You can get there by bus, $2.5 per person. When going back, walk north to the next big intersection (7 min walk), you will catch a bus there much faster.

    Excellent interactive wildlife center. Can get crowded when the cruise ship is in town. Definitely recommend snorkeling with the turtles.

  • 5/5 Paul H. 10 months ago on Google • 105 reviews
    Fun day had by all in our group. The swim experience with the turtles was great. Staff very friendly and informative. Had a good look around the breeding ponds lots of info on the conservation efforts made by the centre. The world needs more centre's like this one. The extra aviary was good to visit and get very close to the birds, definitely try feeding them they love it, buy the grain from the attendant and follow their instructions. The shark tank was great to see and watch them being fed, very informative session helped me to identify nurse sharks snorkeling in the sea the following day. Finally the fresh water swimming pool is a great way to finish the visit and cool off before visiting the gift shop. My advice book your visit now.

    Ett ställe där man föder upp utrotningshotade sköldpaddor. Stort miljötänkande. Gäster som besöker platsen får även möjlighet att snorkla med sköldpaddorna i en större sjö.

    A wonderful place in which you can learn and experience the large green turtles. We saw huge turtles and some small and young ones that you can gently pet with 2 fingers. We were also fortunate to watch the turtles feeding tine which is an out of this world experience.

    Fantastic place to visit when you are on the island. One of the must do attractions. There are turtles swimming in the crystal clear water. You can snorkel with them if you want but keep in mind, the water has algae in it. It may put some people off, but if you can, you must go snorkeling. In addition to turtles, they have plenty of vivid colored fishes as well. On a separate tank, they have sharks!! There is also a bird park and a water slide.

    This is definitely an experience worth having if you're visiting the island. The park is well maintained, swimming with the turtles and fish in the main pond is something you'll remember for a long while. The bird house is calming and the turtle nursery is serving the world. If you're visiting and staying on the island, be sure to go during a day there aren't any cruise ships visiting Grand Cayman, the crowds can get a bit unbearable but booking your ticket(s) outside of the cruise ship port of calls, will give you the time to peacefully make your way through the entire park.

  • 4/5 Daniel S. 2 years ago on Google
    It was good. We spent about 5hrs here. PROS: TONS of turtles, duh...ranging from all sizes...you had different tanks and opportunities to interact, learn about, ans swim. CONS: Algae was too much to swim in...yes algae us a good sign of good habitat, but not when you can't see through it and brown. Otherwise we ate lunch, which was surprisingly good. Predator tank has two sharks (nurse, I think) couple large tarpon, and a barracuda. Bird sanctuary was ok. All small areas required a mask...which I thought was idiotic...since we were all required a negative test to be in the country. My kids were 17,15, 12. Get only one bag of treats for feeding large turtles..plenty. Gift shop was affordable for cayman rates.

    An amazing place to spend your day with kids or without. Different packages offered and would recommend getting the package that allows you to snorkel with the turtles. Also has a pool and water slide for kids to enjoy. Better to start early and then relax on the beach area and also has restaurant on site to eat at. Be sure to note the timings of the feedings and activities. Also has small butterfly area and aviary, but not much to see. They have information center with a video and lots of information about turtles which is a good break to enjoy.

    Imagine an empty parking lot and put a bunch of ponds and put turtles in it. You have this place. It is a small park with a bunch of ponds that have sea turtles in it, and they all come to you expecting to get fed. Do not expect much, but think of it as a donation to help the sea turtle population. The park does a great job helping the sea turtles from going extinct. There are touch tanks that you can feel what the sea turtle's skin and shell feels like. Also, you get to see the last Cayman's crocodile and the history of how the islands got its name. If you pay more for the entrance, you get to snorkel in their big pond with the fishes and sea turtles. There is a small water park for he kids with slides next to it. Parking is free, and there are so many spots that you do not have to worry about finding one any time of the day.

    Great experience to learn about turtles and their habitat. This was an excellent hands on experience for our 10 year old. He enjoyed interacting with turtles in their large lagoon. There are holding tanks you can walk into and touch the smaller turtles. You can also feed them. Take a GoPro camera so you can take pics and videos of the turtles and the variety of fish in the lagoon. The snorkeling and water park areas were amazing. This is a place we'd definitely return to.

    I can’t say enough about the property and the interactions we had. A beautiful lagoon filled with sea life including dozens of sea turtles. You can don snorkel and mask and essentially swim in an aquarium. We arrived early and had the place to our selves. Having such a close up view of tropical fish and sea turtles will likely be a core memory as it was such a great experience.

    Cool to see all the turtles. From just hatched to really big. We didn't have time to swim with the turtles but it looked like a fun experience.

  • 2/5 Nataly L. 5 months ago on Google • 215 reviews
    Don't go. It is a farm! Nice experience to swim with the turtles in a lagoon. But to see turtles of 20-30 years locked in concrete basins knowing they will apend the rest of their 120 year long life there, I am against. They kill the turtles for restaurants menu. The babies born and stay in a plastic box for the tourists. They search the sea and will never see it and live free. So sad.

  • 4/5 Judy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great educational centre and lots of opportunities to interact with the turtles. Very affordable excursion as well. The only negative I had was that we saw many visitors not being respectful of the rules, such as washing up before touching the turtles, so as not to cross contaminate. Also, during the snorkel with turtles in the lagoon, we witnessed some snorkelers chasing and cornering the turtles in an attempt to touch them. Otherwise, it was a fun outing.

    The Turtle Centre was a lot of fun. Plenty to do here, and the staff were really friendly. It was a great excursion while our cruise was stopped at this port.

  • 4/5 Nicole L. 7 months ago on Google • 107 reviews
    Neat place where you can see the life cycle of a turtle. There's a spot where you can wash your hands and feet and get into a turtle pool. An interact with some of these smaller turtles. We were lucky enough to experience feeding time for the largest turtles. This turtle center is much larger than it looks from the outside. I think it was a neat experience would recommend trying.

    Beautiful turtles and other aquatic life. I personally went there for the turtles and a little shopping! 😊 They did not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Belinda L. 7 months ago on Google • 151 reviews
    This was a wonderful experience. We got to observe adult turtles and touch several juveniles. We then we able to swim and snorkel in a lagoon with turtles of all sizes. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 5 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    What a cool experience. My 12 and 14 year old kids loved the snorkeling with the turtles. Truth be told the algae was a little gross looking but it was manageable. They have showers as soon as you get out of the water so just rinse off. Unknown fact baby turtles try to eat nail polish. The nibbled on my daughters when she was swimming. Staff said that’s very common. But it was such an amazing experience. One other item, do not take a taxi over. They charge $8 a person, one way. Take the public bus. It’s the same van and it’s $2.00 per person. Only downfall is you do go around the entire island on the way back. Which we thought was pretty cool.

    Turtles here were humongous! Best part was getting in with the turtles in the touch tank...very cool place to visit!

  • 4/5 N. c. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent choice for a family. There's a few things to do here, not just looking at turtles. They have a crocodile on site. They also allow you the ability to swim/snorkel with the turtles and other fishes. There is a mini beach area and splash pad. There's a restaurant on site, however I read the food was okay so we decided to eat off-site. They had a butterfly observatory. However it was not butterfly season, so we did not see any. There was also a bird observatory. It was a very cool experience. Everyone was friendly. Took time to educate us and the kids really really enjoyed it. I will definitely go back and participate in the swimming with the turtles. Also if you took a cruise to the Caymans it's way cheaper to catch a taxi there and pay for your ticket at the center. The cruise charges hundreds as an excursion, and it's just a $8 taxi and $20 ticket at the door. And across the street is a dolphin observatory as well.

    Loved seeing all the turtles of all sizes. You can even touch them in the wading pool! My family had fun feeding the birds at the bird area. The predator pool had a nice spot where you can view the fish swimming past the glass.

    I am next level obsessed with sea turtles, so this was the perfect excursion on our celebrity cruise. I loved it so much! Especially the touch tank where you can get in and touch the younger turtles. Gorgeous creatures and highly recommend this experience if you get a chance!

  • 5/5 Not Your Ordinary C. 4 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    Loved this place and ladies the bathing suits are less expensive here than in America!!! You get to swim with the turtles. Pet them and enjoy the walk around. I love this better than dolphins but they’re across from one another. Definitely a must go to!

  • 1/5 Samantha C. 1 month ago on Google • 77 reviews New
    Underwhelming and sad. It's very run down looking and the employees are miserable. I also didn't find out until we were there that the turtles are bred for their meat, not released into the ocean. It's a slaughterhouse.

  • 5/5 E. J. 1 month ago on Google • 71 reviews New
    Snorkeling was fun and a great intro to snorkel for kids. Swam with turtles and fish. We arrived before a cruise ship group and walked right in, had snorkel gear within 10 minutes. Lockers were great to keep phones and eye glasses in. Have cash to buy/borrow a lock. Enjoyed lunch on the property too. If staying at resorts, the turtle center offers a free shuttle. We taxied there and shuttled after. Have fun!

  • 5/5 Paulo S. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Fun place, for adults and kids. Come in time to see feedings. Don’t forget to check out experience/educational center, as well as birds. Shop is great and has good variety. Bring a hat and water. You learn, witness, contribute to a great cause and play.

  • 5/5 V J. 1 month ago on Google • 61 reviews New
    You must snorkel here. So many turtles and fish! In fact, compared to actual beaches and outdoor snorkeling spots, this place is incredible. Here, you’ll see tons of fish and plenty of turtles. The first pond you see after entering the park has huge turtles, and I was a bit scared because of their size (I’ve seen many turtles in nature before, but these were almost twice as big). The snorkeling pond, however, is a different one with much smaller turtles (different species or just younger? I’m not sure). The Predator Reef was cool, but there weren’t many sharks. In fact, the “sharks” aren’t real sharks—they’re cleaner fish that stay at the bottom of the tank eating moss. Tip: Plan to arrive before 11 AM to see the feeding events. ------- 바람불고 비오는날 갔는데도 스노클하기 좋았어요. 거북이 진짜많음. 베이직 옵션은 스노클 못하니까 더비산표로 끊으시기를 추천. 11시전에오셔서 먹이주는거 꼭 보세요. 온라인으로 티켓사면 10%할인되는데, 현장에서도 말만 잘하면 해줘요.

  • 5/5 Greg D. 1 month ago on Google • 60 reviews New
    Relatively inexpensive compared to the dolphin discovery option and a quick hitter. We didn’t swim with the turtles given we snorkel a ton all around world. They have an area with large turtles - they are massive. They have an area where you can pet turtles. They have a crocodile (or alligator). They have the area to swim. There is a hatching education center. The day after our visit our private boat captain said this place releases 50,000 turtles a year. If a fraction of that - very impressive. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Brittany L. 2 years ago on Google
    We explored the Turtle Center as part of the excursion on our cruise. We enjoyed the park very much! But had to give a special shout out to Tony our tour guide. He did a great job explaining the facility and how they help the turtles year round. He was very funny and kind! There were two different places to eat but we ate the bigger place in the park. It was lunch type foods with a bar. We were able look at the VERY large turtles and then enter into small tanks with smaller turtles. There was an area to snorkel and a few other activities but we didn’t do any of those. Would be a fun place to bring kids!

    A neat place to visit they are all about the turtles. Though they do have a bird and butterfly Avery . They have paces where you can pet them and if you pay extra you can swing with them. For the lower entry fee you can wade in a small tank and pet them also. Surprisingly the gift shop is not over priced things were actually the same price or lower than other places we look at. It is a little run down but I feel like they are doing a good job of education and helping the population of turtles grow. It is a good way to help out a good cause and experience some neat stuff.

    Snorkeling with the turtles was the most amazing experience. Worth every penny! The only sad thing was the turtles forced to be in small enclosures that clearly didn't want to be there so people had them trapped to touch. If you want to touch them pay extra to snorkel with them. It's unfair to keep them trapped! Lots of learning while there too. Babies to breeding age. Amazing!

    Excellent place to spend the day with the family. They have different fees based on the activities that you are interested in. There are restaurants at the turtle center with decent prices. You are allowed to touch some of the turtles in the smaller ponds. You can also snorkel (if part of your package) to see the turtles and fish. The water is not deep and it's very safe for children. There is also a bird and butterfly sanctuary at the center, where you get to feed the birds and see beautiful butterflies up close. It's definitely a place worth visiting if you are in the Cayman Islands.

    Great fun experience for kids and adults. Turtles are great, but there are sharks and birds too that entertain a lot the kids !!! Kids and adults can even touch turtles and birds fly directly on your hands and arms, for kids this is just magic !!!

  • 5/5 Megan 1 month ago on Google • 48 reviews New
    I was able to visit this center as an excursion stop through my vacation on a cruise... and this was an absolute dream for me as I love sea turtles!! A must stop to check out. You can swim, play & interact with the turtles.. or snorkel with the fish as well. They also have a butterfly and bird aviary. Fair warning.. if you walk into the bird aviary, be prepared for the birds to land on your shoulder... or head! Lol. It was quite an experience! One I will always remember... especially being able to interact with the turtles 🐢 💙

  • 5/5 Chae L. 2 months ago on Google • 43 reviews New
    Best part of my trip to Grand Cayman! I read a lot of mixed reviews about this place, including some folks saying the turtles were mistreated. That was not my experience. They purposely breed and release green sea turtles to replenish the wild population. All of the turtles were in clean tanks and not overcrowded. Swimming with the turtles was the highlight of my trip to the island. I could have stayed in that lagoon all day. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

  • 5/5 Kristien K. 1 month ago on Google • 35 reviews New
    Overall one of my favorite stops in Grand Cayman. Turtles everywhere and at all different stages. Sea turtles are one of my favorite animals and this was a great place to see them.  The feeding wasn’t much to see, just pellets throw in the water, so I could have skipped. I loved snorkeling with them too even though I've done in the wild. A lot of fun! Interesting to see other animals too, like the crocodile and shark. The pool area was pretty interesting, but crowded and not really anywhere to sit. Did appreciate they had drinks and some food, but not really vegetarian friendly (restaurant either). There isn't really anything nearby so you kind of just eat there. The store had a lot of stuff and was nice because it had AC to cool down. I did wish they had better lockers for when snorkeling and bathrooms could use some care. Overall seeing all those turtles was worth it. I’d definitely would recommend.

    Always visit the Turtle Centre when we come to Grand Cayman but this is the first time snorkeling in Turtle Lagoon (so much fun!) and eating at the lagoon side restaurant (great drinks!!).

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 3 months ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    Best attraction on the island aside from the ocean & beaches. They have more sea turtles than you’d expect and you can get right up close to them. This made for a wonderful half-day excursion along with lunch at Macabuca across the street.

  • 3/5 Irena O. 3 weeks ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Fun for kids, but that place needs a serious deep cleaning and some love. You couldn’t pay me to snorkel in that turtle/human sass pool. The same with the pool/waterslide - dirty water and dirty grounds. The learning center was disappointing - so much missed opportunity to teach kids; instead it’s a 5 minute blurry video. Bird and butterfly enclosures are a joke. So much unrealized potential!

    The Cayman Turtle Centre offers a unique opportunity to get up close with sea turtles and learn about their conservation. The center provides informative exhibits and interactive experiences that are both educational and engaging. Visitors can observe turtles at various stages of their development and participate in feeding sessions. While the center is well-maintained and has a dedicated staff, some might find the experience somewhat commercialized and less immersive than expected. Nonetheless, it’s a worthwhile stop for those interested in marine life and conservation efforts.

  • 4/5 Jennifer G. 6 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    This was a cool experience. My family and I enjoyed it. We never got to swim with turtles before so it was really exciting. However, the turtle pool is full of algae. It was a little hard to see sometimes and gets a little gross when you come out and there is algae all over your face and body. I wouldn't plan to stay here for more than a few hours as it gets crazy hot. My kids were over it after awhile. Bring lots of water. We did go to the restaurant for lunch. The food and drinks were delicious! Try the Pina colada!

    I don't normally go to attractions where they have animals prefer to see them in their natural habitat, so I'll give it a miss Save your money for the sting ray coral reef tour Theyre in the wild at least Video footage and photographs from the farm show thousands of endangered sea turtles being kept in dirty, packed touch tanks. Swimming in water filled with their own waste, the turtles fight for food, bite each other and even resort to cannibalism. Many suffer from disease and birth defects, such as injured fins or missing eyes. “Life on the Cayman Turtle Farm is a far contrast from how sea turtles live in the wild,” said Elizabeth Hogan, Oceans and Wildlife Campaigns Manager at WSPA. “It’s truly horrific to see this type of neglect and cruelty taking place at a tourist attraction. Not to mention the fact that these foul conditions aren’t only affecting the resident turtles—humans could be at risk, as well.” As part of its attraction, the farm encourages visitors to touch and pick up the sea turtles. However, WSPA tested and found traces of Salmonella, E. coli, and Vibrio vulnificus in the turtle touch tank waters—meaning that visitors who touch the turtles are at risk for contracting these diseases and then possibly spreading them to fellow passengers back on board their cruise ships. According to a 2012 poll conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, 69% of cruise ship passengers who visited the Cayman Turtle Farm since 2009 were unaware of these health risks, and the majority would not have touched the sea turtles, had they known. “The bottom line is that the farm is currently posing great threats to sea turtle welfare and human health,” added Hogan. “We want to help the farm change for the better, but its unwillingness to meet us halfway is posing a great challenge.”

    Lots to do and enjoy, from turtles to sharks, a bird aviary, butterfly garden, and crocodiles (aka a "cayman"). Also, a place to swim and snorkel with turtles and fish, and a waterslide for visitors 42" and taller. The kids really enjoyed it.

    This is a very sad place to visit. Large sea turtles kept in small ponds for tourists to touch. Large old sea turtles kept in appalling conditions for breeding. As somebody passionate about turtles and conservation this place is appalling and should be closed. Shame on the Cayman Islands and the British for what’s allowed to happen here. Depressing to see in the 21st century. Shame on Royal Caribbean cruises for promoting the place as well for mass tourism.

    We booked a day at the Cayman Turtle Center independently while on a cruise last week. It was easy to catch a shuttle from the port to the Turtle Center for $8 each. We arrived as they were opening and I’m so glad we did by the time we were leaving there was a huge line at the snorkel/life jacket shack. We checked out the wading pool and a few other areas but we were definitely there for the snorkeling and it did not disappoint! I will absolutely visit again. The front desk called a shuttle back for us and it was our fault for assuming that it was going to be the same amount for the shuttle coming back but it was actually $47 for a group of 2.

    The Cayman Turtle Centre is a great for families. We stopped in during a cruise and loved it. You can swim with the animals, feed birds, even stand in the baby turtle tanks and pet them as they swim by. There is a restaurant on site that offers beverages (including alcohol) and food. They have a very nice gift shop with reasonable prices too

  • 4/5 Amy D. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited last week while our cruise ship was in port. We took a public bus ($2.50 USD per person) which was about a 20-25 minute ride from the port. We really enjoyed our time here, though wish we would've had more. We felt a little underwhelmed at the other animal exhibits besides the turtles, but understand that's not their focus. The snorkeling experience with the turtles was great and worth the price of admission on its own. All of the staff members we encountered were friendly and helpful. We tried the restaurant on site and thought the service was great!

    Loved it, have been several times in the last 21 years. It only gets better. Swimming with Turtles is the best and of course chasing Heihei! The food is great, there is plenty for everyone of all ages to see and do. Highly recommend this adventure

    Amazing experience. Totally worth it if you are on the island especially if you like turtles. You can swim with them, touch the little ones in the pool. It is a kid friendly experience. They offer snorkels at no extra charge. There is a water park for the kids. Really good experience!

  • 5/5 Larry 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to visit. The food was good and the staff was helpful. We loved the turtles and we're excited to return as soon as we are able to. Our "exit through the gift shop" went better than expected. One guest said it was the most reasonably priced gift shop he had seen and I agreed.

  • 5/5 Alarice 1 year ago on Google
    It was such an awesome experience! I started my time there swimming in turtle bay. The attendant there was very helpful and nice. Then I dried off and explored the other areas of the park. I learned so much about the turtles, the crocodile, sharks, and birds you take care of at the centre! I would definitely visit again when I come back to Cayman.

    Turtles are so cool. Lots to see and touch and swim with. Only reason it's just a 4 is that they really seem to be missing more of the informational aspect. They do so much great work but outside a little "information center" it's mostly non-existent. I think plenty of people would want to learn more too, not just splash on a water slide.

    Had a really nice time at the Cayman Islands turtle center. Here you can see turtles of all different ages from baby to adult. You have a chance to snorkel with the turtles They also have a nice restaurant to grab a bite to eat

    Not what. I was expecting but we still had a great time. We've snorkled with stingrays before and we're sectioned off to a small part of the beach. This experience was totally different. The Turtle tanks are located in an outdoor type aquarium. I was a little grossed out at first, but I quickly got used to it and glad I went. The turtles are sweet/gentle and will swim right up to you for pets.

    Wow! Book this before you go. Pricing was incredibly reasonable and the Centre is beautiful and educational! We loved it all! The turtles, sharks, the restaurant, the gift shop, everything!!! We came in from the port and took the public bus for $2.50 USD each. Dropped us off and picked us up right in front of the Centre.
