Sea Turtle Day | Gumbo Limbo Nature Center

Healthy Beaches Start With YOU!

Join us for our 7th annual festival celebrating sea turtles and our ocean environment! This FREE event will take place at Gumbo Limbo on Saturday, March 3, 2012! The fun begins at 10 am and lasts until 4 pm.

Stroll around our grounds, visit environmentally friendly exhibitors, attend a performance by Sol Children Theatre, and learn how to make leaf prints! There will be plenty of fun for all ages, from arts, crafts, and games, to educational talks and guided walks through the hammock. Keep your eyes open for Luna, our NEW Green Sea Turtle mascot – a great photo opportunity!

The construction of the tanks will be complete! Come see are beautiful new tanks!! Friends of Gumbo Limbo is now raising funds to Fill the Tanks with sea life, habitat, and educational interpretive signage and exhibits. If all goes as planned, one tank will be fully stocked and open to visitors!

Food, drinks, and ice cream will be for sale from our concessionaires, and dining areas will be available. This year we have added additional food vendors! GO GREEN: bring a reusable water bottle and fill it for free at our water station, provided by the City of Boca Raton's Utility Services.
