At SEA LIFE Grapevine, you’ll meet our beloved rescued sea turtles—Eddie, Boomerang, and Thalley, all green sea turtles injured by boat strikes, and Scotti, a Hawksbill sea turtle who survived predation. These curious and friendly turtles now live in our Ocean Tunnel and Sea Turtle Rescue Center, where they receive lifelong care and attention.
