That Turtle Place

Definitely must visit! So convenient to Tuscaloosa/Northport and worth the price of admission. We took our grandchildren, stayed about 2 hours and everyone had a great time. The owner is incredibly welcoming and equally knowledgeable. The interaction with the animals is up close, and the property is well taken care of. Go support this local place!

The owner's are very knowledgeable and patient with children. The animals are very well cared for and friendly. We got to hold a snake, feed a camel and tortoises and see lots of very interesting animals.

This is a great place for the whole family. We had our daughter’s 10th birthday party here and the Bigham family was great to work with. Their farm is family friendly and the kids were able to run around and play freely without any concern. All the animals were in well built areas tailored to each of them in a way that displayed them perfectly. In addition to being able to walk through the petting zoo, they regularly brought out exotic animals for us to hold and play with. The lemur and their python were both big hits with the family, and their camel Woody was loved by everyone. It’s easy to see that the Bigham family are passionate about their farm and they treat their animals as family. All their animals were clean and well fed while also being very friendly to everyone who came through. The Bigham’s went above expectations and felt like they were part of the birthday party. I can’t compliment them enough for the great experience and we’re already looking forward to going back.

Went here for an educational tour and was so impressed! You can tell the animals are well taken care of and the farm is extremely clean. The owners are so knowledgeable about their animals and other animals in general! We learned SO much during our tour and will definitely be back when they're open for the season!

My family visited here on Saturday August 27th. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This is not your typical zoo it's a very hands on experience! They had traditional farm animals you could pet and feed as well as a camel and alpaca you can pet. There were other exotic animals you could look at but not pet. They also had a lemur, snake, and a bird you hold and pet. My children enjoyed it and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable! I highly recommend visiting this farm.
