Kids get the chance to become a certified Turtle Rescuer

Sea Life Sunshine Coast Aquarium is kicking off the school holidays with a turtle-tastic activity trail, giving kids the chance to become a certified Turtle Rescuer, while learning about the incredible conservation work at the on-site Turtle Hospital.

From 5 April to 31 May, families are invited to dive into the world of turtle conservation, the challenges these magnificent creatures face and the vital work being done to protect them.

With a fun activity book in hand, young adventurers can set off on an exciting trail, uncovering cool facts and enjoying special talks along the way. At the Turtle Rescue Stations, kids can roll up their sleeves and get hands-on by identifying turtle injuries and examining turtle X-rays. To top it off, they’ll receive a reward certificate and sticker to proudly celebrate becoming a certified Turtle Rescuer.

Quinn Clarke, general manager, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium, shared, “Through our Turtle Rescue activity trail, families can enjoy a fun and engaging experience while supporting our commitment to preserving marine ecosystems and promoting responsible tourism.”

“We are proud to be recognised as an accredited Sustainable Tourism Business by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), a testament to our dedication to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.”

Families can dive deeper into the work of the turtle hospital on a Behind the Scenes Tour. To find out more head to visitsealife.com/sunshine-coast/tickets-passes/experiences/behind-the-scenes-tour
