These are the type of places where you want to visit & are 100% worth it! If you are visiting during the summertime they have hatchling releases where you get to see tiny little turtles heading to the ocean at 6:45 am or 7:45am you can check their Facebook page for more info. My husband & I were there a few weeks ago but they didn't have any public releases during our stay in SPI but I am looking forward to get the experience this!

The turtles were all pleasant to see and full of information that was interactive for the kids. The workers were nice and knowledgeable too. Our favorite was Mama (the cat)! We are allergic though so couldn't pet her, although she was nice to everyone who did. The Spotify playlists were also fun little treasures to take with us after our leave. Note: parking lot is small and spots are kind of tight but it's free.

Some things I…read moredidn't expect: no public restroom (even for customers), cheap (thin) clothes sold at heavy prices, and In Musk We Trust shirts - gross to see on our country's 250th after DOGE gutted our government. Sales people were nice. Lots of options overall but some quite tasteless like boob salt and pepper shakers displayed at child height (why? Put them up for adult eye line), and dead sharks in a jar (also why?).

He personally and promptly returned my call (followed up with a text since my cell reception was spotty on the island) to arrange the class the day prior. A good value and a good time that I'd highly recommend! Julie A., Dallas, TX

The quality of the clothing and other wares is a little better while staying within the same price range as those other stores.

They also have windchimes, bags, hats, glassware, swimsuits, puzzles, games and books, but I did not see much in the way of inflatables.

She followed me around the store and, on two separate occasions, came up to me and said, "We're short staffed." I genuinely wasn't sure what she meant by that. The impression I got was that she didn't want me touching or looking through the shirts. After the second time, I finally asked, "Are you offering me a job?" She immediately backtracked with, "No, no, that's not what I meant..." but I still never really understood what she was trying to communicate. What bothered me most was that I didn't see her treating the other customers that way. I spoke with the manager before leaving, and she said she would address it, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the experience left a bad enough impression that I won't be returning. There are plenty of other souvenir shops on the island where I can browse without feeling like I'm being monitored. Port Isabe/SPl has too many great places to shop to spend my vacation dollars somewhere I don't feel welcome.
