If you're looking for a family friendly good time in the Turtle Mountain reservation, try visiting Tommy the Turtle anytime year round. He is a 30 foot tall turtle, riding on a 34 foot long snowmobile. His job is to guard the tennis courts of the local park.
He was built by Boots Reynolds in 1978, a 3-ton 6-color fiberglass statue that marks the gateway into the Turtle Mountains, a range of mountains that were destroyed about 12,000 years ago, which is easy to tell from the wide, long plains.
He is at 103 South 11th street, in Bottineau, North Dakota.
Tommy not enough turtle for you?
Check out how we reinvent the Wee'l
Constructed of 2,000 old wheels, the Wee'l Turtle in Dunseith, North Dakota. However, don't let his looks deceive you. He has a big motor in his neck, to make anyone confused know his status as a turtle (Not a lizard!). A truly festive monument, the W'eel Turtle rocks a big Santa Claus hat in the holiday seasons.
You can visit the W'eel near the intersection of Main Street and 96th Street in Dunseith, North Dakota.
