Review:
The Turtle Hospital is one of Marathon's premiere wildlife rehabilitation facilities, opened to the public in 1986. The hospital strives to rehabilitate injured sea turtles and return them to their natural habitats, releasing more than 1,500 turtles since its founding. Turtles that cannot be returned to the wild are kept as permanent residents and can be visited as part of guided educational tours offered throughout the week. Tours last approximately 90 minutes and are led by experienced tour guides, showcasing the facility's hospital and rehabilitation areas. All tour participants are given the opportunity to get up close and personal with resident turtles and participate in daily feedings.
