We are sorry, but the Hatchling Releae tickets are Sold Out.
Have you joined Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, Inc., upgraded or renewed your membership for 2008? Be sure to do so by April 30 in order to be eligible for the Members-Only Presale for both the 2008 Turtle Walks and Hatchling Releases.
The hatchlings released during this program are a result of the Turtle Specialists’ hard work. Nests that hatched three days earlier are excavated and inventoried by the turtle specialists; any remaining hatchlings are released during this night program. After a short video and informative discussion, participants are led out to the beach. After a line is drawn in the sand to keep feet and hatchlings from interacting, the hatchlings are freed to make their way to the water.
Hatchling Releases will be held on Monday through Thursday evenings, July 28 - September 11.
From July 28 - August 14 the program is from 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm.
Tickets must be purchased in person.
This program is for all ages, and an adult must participate with children under the age of 18.
