Had more fun here than I intended to absolutely beautiful landscapes and the Turtles genuinely seemed happy and there was even an alligator. I believe it was under three US dollars to get in as well. Cash only

Great place to take kids, my kid love seeing turtles. Please note this place is more like a rehabilitation center for turtles. Depending on what is brought to the center is what you would see on hour visit. Turtles are released once they are healed from their wounds. Staff is very friendly and it is a great way to help this good cause.

I've been living here for a long long time and I've always thought this was not a place that I would like, but boy was I wrong. Amazing place, good educational part. Price is good, lots of information and a wide variety of turtles. I would come back to show this to my friends/family.

Amazing place that helps sick turtles and baby turtles get strong to give them a better chance of survival

Fantastic. They do wonderful work helping to strengthen the indigenous turtle population after decades of commercialization deteriorated the health of the species. I'm thankful they do this. I'm thankful they share the wonderful turtles & aquatic wildlife with us, the public. Great job!! Thank you

I recently visited El Centro Mexicano de La Tortuga and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The center offers a fascinating journey through various exhibits featuring a diverse range of turtles. It’s incredibly engaging, and the experience only gets better as you progress through the exhibits. The walk-through takes about 30 minutes and provides a comprehensive look at different turtle species and their habitats. For just 45 pesos per person, it’s an incredible value. The center is both educational and enjoyable, making it a great stop for anyone interested in marine life or looking for a unique and affordable outing. Highly recommended!

Nice little outdoor museum with many different turtle species. Very reasonable entrance price (about $2.30 USD). Friendly staff. I would recommend.
