Coral World Marine Park on St. Thomas winds up the eight-day Turtle Fest with activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. all weekend at the park's Blue Water Terrace area. Even the retail shops, Currents and Go Fish, are in on it. Any product that has a turtle on it is 15 percent off. This means everything from plush toys to sundresses to pendants, earrings, prints, books, magnets and hand-painted birdhouses, is on sale.
Bring the family: there's a chance to choose a name for a rescued turtle hatchling, face painting,videos of the recent leatherback hatching on Coki Beach, a traveling turtle cart display, and telling of traditional animal stories.
