S	Shay Bachelder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 30 pesos to get in, another 30 pesos to get some turtle food. This was such a fun stop for the kids (and me, who am I kidding.) We even got to hold a tiny baby turtle. Make sure to go around the side and back of the main building to see more turtles than just what was inside.
A	Aneel Maan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is pretty small, and the entree fee reflects that. It's a cheap 30 minute thing to check out. Loses a star because they gave me change in small denomination coins (probably thinking I would just leave the coins as a tip. Literally 40 pesos in 16 coins)
L	Lynnie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Positives: Admission is reasonable, $3 US. It was fun to see the turtles in different sizes, and to feed them. This is a nonprofit turtle species restoration organization and they do what appears to be good work. Less positive: To be honest, the facility is scruffy and there was very little information about what we were seeing.
M	Melissa Madden on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The turtles are so beautiful! I love the reason behind this! We stopped in on a boat tour with the kids. It’s small and they do not walk you through or give any information or educational guides/tours while we visited. You walk yourself through the aquarium. I would’ve really loved it if they had educated tours and talked about the turtles and different species etc. I still love what they are doing! We spent maybe 20-30 minutes there inside and out. ?Visited 1/25/21
P	Paul McGlynn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A fun little trip to do on Isla mujeres especially with younger kids. This turtle farm raises sea turtles and has about 50 of them on display. Visitors are loud to purchase food and feed the turtles, but you cannot touch them. The turtle farm also has set up information stations to teach visitors about the sea turtle and why they are endangered. It will take you about 30 to 45 minutes to tour the whole farm.
K	Kirsten Anderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was fun to see and feed the turtles for sure. I wish we'd been there when the babies were hatching (but obviously that's not their fault!). I give 3 stars because I thought it was just kinda blah. Self toured around pools if sea turtles with a bag full of food - just kinda blah. But, I did enjoy educating my two kiddos while we walked around so, no regrets.
R	Russell Davis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The sea turtle attraction is affordable ($3 USD per person). They do try to sell you a small bag to feed the turtles for another $3. Parking is located across from the entrance where a lot of people parked their golf cart. There are two buildings, an aquarium and a gift shop. The aquarium has tanks along the walls with a variety of fish. The tank with the lion fish was really neat. The center had several raised pools with a variety of sizes and species of sea turtles. Outside there are several pools with more sea turtles and a pen around a sand area with smaller chicken wire pens. I believe those are around the areas with the eggs. In the water, there are two pens along a long dock with nets enclosing some of the really big sea turtles.
D	David L on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the highlights of our golf cart travel around the island. We arrived around 9:30am so we had the place almost to ourselves. After paying a very inexpensive entry fee and a cheap bag of turtle feed we explored the property. We visited the two large water pens off the beach where several turtles are housed. Then we made our way to two tanks outside where the medium-sized turtles are you could fee them. Adjacent to these is the hatchling nursery. Since we were the only ones in the area an employee let us visit with one of the hatchling - one of the coolest things ever! Lastly we made our way into the inside small turtle area where you could continue to feed the turtles. Overall an enjoyable 30-45 minute stop on the island.
