Gumbo Limbo's Turtle Programs always sell out fast

SouthFloridaSunrise.com Staff report

May 1--Last year, Gumbo Limbo nature Center in Boca Raton had a record high loggerhead nesting. For those that attend the Center's ever-popular Turtle Walk programs, this equated to a nesting loggerhead turtle being seen during 75% of the programs.

Tickets must be purchased in advance for their programs, and tickets sell out. Children ages 8 & up (with an adult) are welcome.

This year, tickets go on sale to members only on May 4, and to the general public on May 11.

Savage Ancient Seas at South Florida Science Center

Traveling exhibit highlights things to do in Palm Beach County

SouthFloridaSunrise.com Staff report

May 9--On May 17, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, formerly known as the South Florida Science Museum, opens – Savage Ancient Seas: Dinosaurs of the Deep – as the first traveling exhibit to fill its newly renovated exhibit hall.

Savage Ancient Seas is the aquatic world of huge carnivorous marine reptiles with double-hinged jaws and teeth in the middle of their palates, gigantic flesh-eating fish big enough to swallow an adult human being whole, flying reptiles with 3 foot skulls and the biggest sea turtles to have ever lived.  Unrivaled for their amazing varieties, voracious appetites, incredible teeth and gaping jaws, the creatures of the Savage Ancient Seas are unlike anything known in today’s world.
