Gumbo Limbo Nature Center


My sister and I took Ariana to the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton Florida to see some sea turtles and other marine life. Ariana is posing with the Loggerhead statue out front. She loved these life-size replicas!





There weren't a lot of big turtles on display as they were renovating the rehabilitation center when we were there. 

We only saw a couple through a fence.



But, they did have a new batch of baby bonnet head sharks and those were neat! We loved watching them swimming in their tank and we got to see the momma too!


There was a few larger turtles in tubs and lots of babies waiting to get stronger for release.


Watching the seahorse feeding was pretty awesome too!

It was free to get in, they run off donations only. It was a nice little trip and Ariana loved seeing how big the full grown turtles can get. I think Ariana's favorite part was seeing how big the turtles can grow!
