Really enjoyed visiting the centre lots of interesting facts about Darwin and the Islands.
Learning about the tortoise conservation was inspiring they really are fascinating to watch and a fitting tribute to Lonesome George

This was the most interesting bit of our holiday: learning and seeing!
Learning how the Center is providing for the “upkeep” of tortoises and all the passages to increase the birth surviving rate of these giant animal.
Seeing the various stages of the development of the tortoises and…well they were having sex when we where there…that was unexpected and priceless.
A little bit of shopping (for unrequited things) to help the center make you feel better. One of the most interesting thing to see, I think!

Lots of tortoises. I was expecting more like Jurassic Park when a baby dinosaur pops its head through a hatched egg. Instead they stand around and eat grass. A “must-do” but nothing exciting.

We loved the Charles Darwin Research Station! My eleven year old son particularly enjoyed it, and we made three trips there during our five days in Puerto Ayora.
It's an easy walk from the centre of town to the centre. There are two options when you get there, the centre itself, which is free, or the regular tours of the Tortoise Breeding Centre, for which there is a fee.
The centre has a series of exhibits about Charles Darwin and his research, and about the science of the Galapagos Islands, and is very much a standard museum.
The breeding centre includes tortoises of various ages and sizes, and our guide was helpful, entertaining and knowledgable. There were tours in both Spanish and English. The tour includes seeing the preserved remains of Lonesome George, the last of his species, who serves as a reminder as to why this work is so needed.

Charles Darwin made the Galapagos famous and I expected there to be a lot more here about Darwin and his expeditions and research and the connection between evolution and the Galapagos. There are a few small exhibits about these items, but the bulk of the Research Station is turtle enclosures with turtles of different ages. There is also Lonseome George, the last turtle of his species, taxidermied by himself (ironically/appropriately?) in a room. The Station is conveniently located and the tortoises are a big attraction of the Galapagos, but there are plenty of opportunities to see tortoises in the Galapagos and so the Station did not stand out.

A good way to start out your vacation of the Galapagos archipelago on Santa Cruz island. The interpretive center is interesting and free. It offers some basic natural history of the islands. The $10/person guided tour of the "Ruta de Tortuga" is worth it. We had a great tour guide who was fluent in English and the entire tour took us two hours: the tortoise walk and the interpretive center.
Of note: the guided tours have start times and are coordinated by language: Spanish or English. We thought we could walk up, pay and head out with a guide. Instead we had to wait 45 mins for the 11:00 am English tour.

Such a disappointing museum. I am visiting The Galapagos for the first time and I had an expectation that this museum would give me a good grasp of the history and the importance of the research and protection of this unique place in the world. Darwin is my hero.
Seriously the museum is so badly laid out and tired feeling that no one would go away with more knowledge than they arrived. What a missed opportunity- not just to sell The Galapagos but also to really understand how it is being protected.
The bill boards are tired and unfocussed and the museum layout is poor. Spend some of your money getting this right. I just read the 2022 impact report of the Charles Darwin Foundation and this magazine is much much more inspiring. Ask the Exec Director his thoughts. I bet his ideas would transform the place. Such an important thing to get right and right now it’s underwhelming.

$10 for a tour of the breeding pens of the research centre. Very cool seeing all the tortoises especially the baby ones. However experience was ruined by an awful tour guide that refused to give any relevant information and instead spoke about himself and a bunch of random unconnected topics, often dropping inappropriate comments in along the way. No time to read any signs or info and the whole experience felt uncomfortable. I’m sure with a different guide it would have been a decent experience.

Very informative tour along the ruta de Las Tortugas. Our guide Andre was very helpful in explaining basic facts about the Galapagos & their importance.
Great to see the impact on conservation that the breeding centre are having.
The clip, photography exhibition & artefacts inside the research centre are worth a visit.

Hi. I am trying to find out if people visiting the Charles Darwin Research Center in the past month or so had to make a reservation to go there (or if you could decide when you get there whether you want to visit). Thank you!
I arrive at 430pm to Puerto Ayora. Would I have enough time to visit the station? Or what other activities could we do to not waste the first day at santa cruz?

I’d leave it until tomorrow when you have more time. Walk along the waterfront because it’s Saturday night and there will surely be something to see. The big pier has lights into the water so that’s a pretty good time after dark.

No idea sorry. But if you do find it open explore every possible corner as things are tucked away. Particularly Diego and the taxidermed Lonesome George.

We had a guide but realized that we probably didn't need one. There are enough displays with information that covered everything he said. The only thing the guide added was in identifying birds snd plants as we were walking around the center.

It's free and in my opinion, the best place to start your visit to the Galapagos. We went the day we arrived in Puerto Ayora

The Charles Darwin was on our holiday itinery and we were very disappointed that this was closed. There were a few tortoises about but not really worth the walk. When was the research centre closed and why did our travel company not tell of this I wonder.

I actually do not remember when they started closing down areas for the renovation (it was told to us when you group REACHED Galapagos so that we could make a decision then whether or not we wanted to take that part of the planned excursions), so I cannot honestly answer to that part of the question. However, IF it was on your group's itinerary, I would think that they should have at least apprised you of the situation so you could make alternate plans if necessary. As this was not the focal point of our hopes for the islands, we were not that disappointed (other than suffering the heat when we could have been doing other activities that WOULDN'T cause heat exhaustion). However, I can see that if you were looking forward to this particular group of exhibits how you might have been disappointed. I hope that you found something else that made the trip special for you (like those crazily friendly sea lions at the dock!) In light of the problems being suffered by the unfortunate events in the Guayaquil region, I am not in the position to complain much about anything right now :-( I am thankful that we have heard from the Ecuadorean guides that we have since friended that they are safe.

Hola, cuando yo visité, los horarios de visita para todos los lugares pertenecientes al parque nacional cerraban a las 18:00 horas. Si te levantas temprano alcanzas a hacer varias cosas durante el día y creo que alcanzaras sin problemas a visitar la reserva. Saludos y disfruta el viaje!

Hola que tal, buen dia. Disculpa la demora en responderte.
Si habre temprano, igual tienes todo el dia para ir, no concurre mucha gente ya que estaba en reparacion y la verdad no esta muy atractivo por esta causa. Se ven pocas tortugas y unas Iguanas anaranjadas en cautiverio tambien.
Las otras Islas tambien tienen sus reservas y muy lindas como la de Isla Isabella, alli hay muchas tortugas y el parque muy arreglado , te la recomiendo.
Espero haberte sido de utildad a las ordenes.
