About

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.

Resident Entry Prices
The resident rate for adults is CI$15 and CI$10 for children 12 years and under with free admission for children two years and under. There is a courtesy shuttle bus that picks up guests from hotels along Seven Mile Beach or plenty of parking if you drive.

Children's Birthday Parties
Host your child’s next birthday party at the Cayman Turtle Centre. With interactive games, activities, entertainment, and prizes for kids of all ages, the Cayman Turtle Centre really is the place to be.

Wedding Location
The Cayman Turtle Centre offers a unique setting to say ‘I do’. Whether you’re looking for an intimate wedding or an elaborate affair, the Turtle Centre offers a perfectly distinctive ceremony and reception location in a beautiful natural setting with unique photo opportunities. The Centre offers full-service catering, a full bar, and plenty of support to make your special day seamless. The venue is also a wonderful choice for engagement parties, and has even hosted a memorable proposal surrounded by our juvenile turtles — a moment the couple and their guests will never forget
