Moonlight, Sea Turtles and You!
The whole family can participate in an evening of discovery while uncovering the natural history and myths of turtles. Your adventure begins at 9 p.m. in the Museum with an informative hands-on session about turtles (land, fresh water and salt water) with an expanded focus on sea turtles. You’ll get answers to questions about nesting, threats, conservation, and you’ll even find out if sea turtle tears are a result of sadness. The adventure continues on the beach where your expert guides will lead you to the nesting grounds. Nature permitting, participants will have a chance to watch a 400-pound Loggerhead sea turtle venture out of the ocean to lay her eggs.
Be prepared to walk one to two miles. You will need to provide your own transportation and snacks. Turtle Walks run from 9 p.m. to approximately 1 a.m. The Cost is $16 for members and $18 for non-members. Advance reservations are required. Please call 954.713.0930.
