The indoor facility features a flow through water exchange system. Water continually pumps from the sound into the individual turtle tanks. The water then returns to the sound via an overflow pipe and drain. The indoor facility also includes fresh running hot and cold water, laundry facilities, and examination space with medical equipment and supplies. Executive Director Jean Beasley welcomes folks during visiting hours.
