Cayman Turtle Centre

Since 1968, the Cayman Turtle Centre has released close to 37,000 captive-bred and raised sea turtles back into the sea to help replenish Cayman’s wild population. The Centre, which is dedicated to the conservation and education of the green sea turtle, is home to turtles of all ages, from six-ounce hatchlings to 500lb adult breeding turtles. It is a unique educational and interactive animal-based activity centre and during your visit, you can explore exhibits, learn about the breeding and rearing process, touch and snorkel with turtles and reef fish, swim in the freshwater pool, and visit hatchlings during nesting season. You'll also encounter local wildlife, such as flora along the nature trail, Cayman Parrots in the Caribbean Aviary, and sharks in Predator Reef.

Visitors can feed birds and turtles, swim and snorkel with the turtles, and enjoy the waterfalls and Turtle Twister waterslide. Capture memorable photos in the turtle touch tanks, hand-feed birds in the aviary, and watch the Predator Reef Feeding Frenzy.

After your adventures, enjoy lunch at Schooners Restaurant, overlooking the lagoon where the resident peacock family often makes an appearance. Then, take a refreshing dip in the Island’s largest swimming pool, complete with two waterfalls, an underwater viewing panel, and the fun-filled Turtle Twister water slide.

If you're simply looking for a quick coffee break, pop into the Silver Thatch Café located in the Centre’s courtyard — no admission required. Or, treat yourself to a soft-serve ice cream or a slushie at Coco’s Cool Hut inside the Centre.
