There's so much to do on Grand
Cayman that's fun, plan on visiting for several days. On Land
Turtle Farm
On land, be sure to visit the Cayman Turtle Farm, the only breeding and research facility
of its kind in the world. A trip to the Turtle Farm is both entertaining and educational.
Visitors observe first-hand how the farm operates and also get a rare chance to handle
some of its shelled inhabitants. A number of signs placed throughout the farm provide
interesting information about turtles and turtle farming. Tours are self-guided, so
visitors may wander freely around the many tanks separating young hatchlings from the
mid-aged turtles and the adult breeding specimens which can weigh as much as 600 pounds
and live to the ripe old age of 100. Open 7 days, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Visit Hell
You REALLY can go to Hell in Grand Cayman - in fact, you can even mail post cards to
friends to prove it! Hell is a site in the district of West Bay where black limestone rock
emerges from the ground resembling some unearthly place. It's a fun photo opportunity, and
a post office there will postmark your postcard, "Hell, Grand Cayman."
Cayman Islands National Museum
Located on Harbour Drive in in the small capital city of George Town,
the national museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the county's past.
The museum's natural history exhibition features a three-dimensional map
of the undersea mountains and canyons surrounding the islands. A laserdisk
presentation features colorful marine life so realistic that visitors
will be convinced they are looking through a porthole of a submarine!
The cultural history exhibit reveals how early Caymanians made their living
through turtling, rope making and shipbuilding. The museum itself is an
artifact. During its 150-year existence it has served as everything from
town jail and courthouse to a meeting hall for church services and dances.
