Turtle Back Zoo Sign

We had a blast at the Christmas lights event! What a great event. It was free, but a coffee cost $4. I highly recommend it. Get there early or else you won’t find parking.

This was such a cool Zoo. It's just the right size for any age or size group. The zoo is not so big that it takes hours to view and it's easy to walk and use strollers and wheelchairs. The animals seemed happy and affectionate with each other and the public. I was surprised to see such a nice variety of animals in a beautiful setting. There's a cafeteria and Italian ice truck in addition to vending and sitting areas throughout the zoo

A fun, family friendly zoo. Not to big so that your'e completly worn out by the end of the day. Fair warning, it's mostly up- hill, so you will get a "calf work out" in. Plenty of foreign and domestic animals to observe. The "touch pool" was weird and fun. Got my reluctant nephew to feed and touch a sting ray. Popular for Summer Camps on weekdays, so it got a little crowded in the afternoon. Got there at opening and avoided the crowd. We skipped lunch at the popular meal time (had a snack from the back pack), and had no wait when we did go in for a bite and beer around 3 pm (the bar is upstairs Dads and Moms, buy and bring your food up to the terrace. No alcohol is served downstairs in the cafeteria). Had a good time, and will go back.

Loads of animals and beautiful landscape throughout the whole zoo, the main thing why I prefer this place is because they have a few hands-on activities for the kids, they can touch the fish, feed the animals, (there is also a horse back riding which was closed) and also a very nice park for the kids to play.

For the Christmas lights event, it was ok. Me and my family thought it was unorganized. People bumping into each other and super pack. They should've had arrows to one direction. The donation tent should've been inside, making sure everyone donated.
