Remember when you were
a kid and the idea of racing turtles came
to mind. Hey, wait, turtles are supposed to
be slow, but they can sure get speed up. All
of the box turtles at the World Aquarium are
orphans and now they get a chance to run like
the bulls of Pamplona, every Saturday at 2:00
PM.
Racing the turtles is good for them since
they get extra exercise and who doesn't need
a little extra exercise. The turtles are also
put on a special high performance diet during
the racing season in order to get them in
the spirit and mode for get-up and go. Racing
turtles also gives them enrichment especially
when being cheered on by the energetic on
lookers.
Visitors can also choose which turtles might
win the race. People who choose the winner
of the turtle race will receive a certificate
to redeem at the World Aquarium's Wonders
of Waters giftshop.
