HRW Worcester did a better job of getting this angle but I didn’t so so bad either. Make sure you check out “Shocking the turtle” while you are here. It’s a great one!

This is the base of the fountain/statue from yet another angle.

Turtle Boy is not just a statue - it’s a fountain, or was a fountain for horses and dogs. That was a long time ago. Now, Turtle Boy is a beloved landmark of the city of Worcester, MA. Ok, maybe “beloved” is a bit over the top. It’s certainly a conversation piece though.

I love Turtle Boy! Judging from my stats, everyone else loves Turtle Boy too.
This is not an "official" web site. I'm just having some fun. Even though this site is for fun, I have included actual background information about the statue and links to resources for those who are curious. If you are not from Worcester, this statue is one of the quirky, fun things in our city. Downtown would not be the same without him. Enjoy!
Send me your Turtle Boy pictures and stories and I'll post them on the site. Please, keep it as clean as possible. I won't post stuff that's nasty, hateful or full of potty-mouth. Thanks!
