contact
Thank you for contacting SDTTS. The Society is all-volunteer, enjoys strong corporate support, and has a dedicated and experienced leadership team. Our volunteers work hard to keep up with the hundreds of information requests, rescues and relinquishments brought to our attention each month - along with the many hours required to care for the animals in their charge.
Monthly Zoom meetings are free, friendly and informative, open to the public, and feature local veterinarians, care consultants, and nationally known specialists. Every year the Society presents exhibits at many local events, holds monthly public educational meetings, and each summer hosts the amazing San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Show in Balboa Park

The Casa Del Prado Building is located in Balboa Park on the El Prado, due west of the Natural History Museum. Entrances to the Casa Del Prado all lead to an inner court, and the meeting rooms are accessible from the court. Room 101 is downstairs on the east end of the court.
There will be greeters at the door.
Parking
When you pull into Village Place you can park in the first lot on the left, at the Natural History Museum, and proceed west on foot to Casa Del Prado (as shown.)
Or you might try your luck at street parking on Village Place as it continues around the Giant Fig Tree. Access to Room 101 is from the central courtyard within the Casa Del Prado.
The Room 101 door will be open at the east end of the courtyard. Look for the Society’s turtle signs.
