Interactive exhibits like the "Live Like a Sea Turtle" experience, educational displays, the turtle hospital, and public education programs make this a fantastic venue for visiting families. Kids can enjoy summer programs, and take a nighttime walk to discover turtle nesting sites. The center offers Memberships and accepts donations to help offset operating costs, and families can "adopt" a rehabilitating turtle and follow it's progress online from diagnosis through treatment to release back to the ocean - even beyond, where they can track the turtle online as it travels through a GPS transponder attached to its shell.

Our family has been going to Jekyll Island for years. They have magical beaches perfect for families, flat and wide with kid-friendly waves. Wonderful place to introduce young ones to the ocean.

Try: flying kites on the beach; shell hunting; kid games with Mom and Dad; sand castle building; surf wrestling; dolphin sighting.

We've always thought Jekyll Island had plenty to do for young kids, maybe needs more for teens. Try Summer Waves Water Park; Tidelands Nature Center for kayaking, nature walks; the Georgia Sea Turtle Center; 4 golf courses and two mini-golf courses; 13 Har-tru tennis courts; lots of places to picnic, swim and explore.
