Sea Turtle Hospital

Georgia Sea Turtles


The Georgia Sea Turtle Hospital on Jekyll Island turned out to be very interesting and all of us learned a lot! We spent the whole day there, looking at various exhibits over and over again, and got a chance to visit with the injured sea turtles as well. I had called ahead and spoken with the educational director about possible homeschool opportunities and they actually changed one of the scheduled shows so that Abby would learn more about the turtles! They asked for volunteers (we already knew Abby was going to be picked so that was great) and the lady doing the show dressed Abby up as a sea turtle, complete with flippers, beak, carapace, lungs, etc. It was a great learning experience and well worth the few dollars admission!
