Our baby Loggerhead turtles hatching and taking their first swim in saltwater tanks are a festival favourite each year.
Unfortunately, there are always a limited number of tickets, and this year is no exception. We are adhering to social distancing and visitor numbers have been reduced – so tickets are limited.
BUT we are live streaming the turtles 24 hours a day over the festival! Live streamed from 24 to 28 March with support from AARNET.
The health and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers to WSFB and Queensland Museum is our priority.
