Lovely nice place with a lot of useful information about marine life and its environment.The staff is super friendly and take the time for all the questions you may have.The admission is free, but a small donation is appreciated

A gem. Found it on a bike ride on the Broad Walk. Good educational opportunities for adults and kids.

Very nice! Easy access to the beach.

This place was adorable! Staff was amazing, and they seemed to really love Carpenter.

Small but loaded with information!Totally worth the visit. Staff was fantastic!They taught us about the different turtles and we were invited to touch the shells and see the little turtles upstairs.“Captain” the Sea turtle was magical!It is free but we were happy to donate to the cause!

Its a great education center on the beach. The staff are amazing and loaded with information about turtles and local marine life. The entree is free and if you enjoyed your visit I do recommend donating.

IF YOU ARE ON VACATION READ MY REVIEW!!! This place was one of the most amazing welcoming and educational places on my whole trip. I was walking from dania to Hollywood and there was A/C while I was cooling off I took a chance to read the many displays they had available. It made me conscious of the ecosystem that I was calling a vacation spot. I became very conscious of my footprint and did my part like we all should to protect marine life and their enviorment.

We just walked by. It was a nice flip grouper there.

I love what you are doing for the turtles. Thank you all

Stumbled upon this place by accident.Great place to visit! We will return.

Cozy hidden place... it is a must to walk-in and visit... get to know what they do...

Friendly and informative staff. Located on the Beach.

A beautiful sanctuary and historic place in Broward County Florida that predominantly focuses on Sea Turtles and their care. Must see!

Wonderful staff with great educational experience of turtles. The best time to go is when they feed the turtle(s)

Meet Captain, a female teenager turtle who has had quite a life! She survived a boat-crash. They have converted The Carpenter House into her new permanent home after having visited several facilities. She seems very happy during her meal at 3:30pm you can enjoy a brief story of her life and ask questions to the feeder in turn. It does not open sundays and mondays. It does have a wheelchair access and there is parking right on the streets

This was a private home built in 1941 but recently turned into an education center focused on marine life; specifically sea turtles. It is on the north end of Hollywood Beach, Florida.The place is full of up to date and full of informative displays. But the most interesting attraction is Captain, their resident green sea turtle.Time your arrival right and you can see Captain fed and ask questions to the marine biologists caring for herIts free although parking is a bit pricey. You can access the beach via a nearby boardwalk.

Excellent environmental and marine education center, located on beachfront property.

Stopped by to learn about turtle conservation efforts. Always a good place to take kids. It raises awareness of the actions needed to preserve our environment.

We came upon Carpenter House while out walking past the Hollywood Boardwalk. What a wonderful surprise. We enjoyed reading all the history of Carpenter House and on the various sea turtles. Meeting Captain was wonderful and her history amazing. We recommend you visit if in the area and bring children and grandchildren. Gift shop offered a variety of age appropriate items.

Please visit and donate to this important institution!

Very beautiful and educational. Great place to take the kids

Great experience for me and the kids.

We had a great day touring Carpenter house with family. Captain the sea turtle is very friendly. She will not be able to return to the ocean because of her injuries. While there Captain ate breakfast.Our guide Derek is very knowledgeable about the turtles, sharks, coral, beaches and our salt water ecosystem. You dont want to miss an opportunity to visit Carpenter House, Captain and the view all the museum exhibits in the main house and beach house.Carpenter House is open Tuesday thru Saturday.

This place is small, but really nice. Very educational for my kids and I. We loved seeing Captain the sea turtle. Its right along the beach and there is plenty of meter parking nearby.

Great place. Had no idea it was even there. Loved the gift shop as well.

Another great Hollywood Beach stop. TURTLES!!!!

A revised sea turtle, Captain, resides here in a converted backyard swimming pool. Gift shop, mini museum. Free to get in but has suggested donation. Right off the broadwalk
