Turtle Back Zoo is a zoo in West Orange, New Jersey. Situated on 20 acres (8.1 ha) in the South Mountain Reservation, it is part of the South Mountain Recreation Complex, which is managed as part of the Essex County Park System, the oldest county park system in the United States.
Turtle Back Zoo is a good place to spend a day, but it needs improvement and customer service. The zoo is beautiful, something unique in the middle of a town, but the over crowd does not allow too much space for enjoyment.
Turtle Back Zoo is your zoo! Membership in the Zoological Society of New Jersey is your key to supporting your zoo experience to the fullest. The upgraded Society membership program packs more value, fun, and exciting new features into being a member.
You can go at your own pace enjoying the Zoo, stop into the cafe on-site for food/drinks, and go to the gift shop. When you're done, you can pop over to the adventure site which hosts paddle boats, a zip-line course, mini golf, and more.
Bobcats, cougars, hawks, pythons, bison, alligators, otters, monkeys and penguins! There's even a pony ride for the kids or take a short train ride around a reservoir at a station aptly named Turtle Junction. The ride is very serene and very peaceful.
