About Marine Science Center
Marine Science Center operates a sea turtle hospital and bird rehabilitation facility alongside exhibit galleries where visitors touch sea rays in the touch pool and observe mangroves from an observation tower. The center features the Mary Keller Seabird Sanctuary, Turtle Terrace, and a nature trail. Daily presentations and camps educate visitors about marine life and coastal conservation. Since opening in 2002, the center has welcomed more than a million visitors drawn by its combination of rehabilitation hospitals with interactive exhibits. Located in Ponce Inlet just south of Daytona Beach, between the ocean and Halifax River, the center sits near Lighthouse Point Park and the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. The Marine Science Center charges admission, with prices published on marinesciencecenter.com. U.S. military veterans receive free individual general admission. Veterans also qualify for a one-dollar discount on the Veteran Family Pass and Veteran Family Yearly Pass, reducing each to fifty-nine dollars.
