  When is the next release of the Kemp Ridley Sea Turtles?
  Anonymous user answered:

  Hatchling releases typically occur each year between June and September, so these won't be happening again until 2010. Check the Padre Island NS website for the latest info closer to the time: http://www.nps.gov/pais/naturescience/releases.htm

  What would be a good activity in the Padre Island area to include a 5 and 8 year old in?
  Anonymous user answered:

  The beach, hiking, and camping are obviously general ideas. More specifically, the Park Service offers a series of sea-turtle hatchling releases throughout the summer that might be cool for your kids to watch. More details at http://www.nps.gov/pais/naturescience/releases.htm. The park also offers some interpretative programs for kids, including the NPS Junior Ranger Program and things like nature walks, birding tours, and stargazing events.
