   Turtle Back Zoo Map & Rules   

     Turtle Back Zoo is quickly becoming the pride of Essex County, earning a reputation as one of the recreational and educational jewels of the region as well as one of New Jersey's prime zoological resources. Combining a park-like setting with amenities that cater to both visitor and animal comfort, Turtle Back Zoo is a destination that can truly be enjoyed by all. The facility is constantly being improved, with new habitats designed to accommodate the unique characteristics of each of the species in residence, while balancing visitor accessibility with animal privacy. And with new additions, new exhibits and new programs being added every day, the Turtle Back Zoo experience is constantly evolving.

We look forward to seeing you...and bring along a friend!!!

Donate Your Old Cell Phone

 

The Zoological Society will receive a donation from ECO-CELL,
a cell phone recycling company, for every working digital
headset it collects. Usable cell phones are then donated to
charities, senior citizen groups and the police. The rest are
disposed of responsibly. So bring your old cell phone and/or
accessories to TBZ and drop them in the collection boxes that
are set up at the zoo.


Animal Adoption

 

 

From the 1,000 pound Bison and Elk, to the tiniest frog, all of
the more than 500 animals at Turtle Back Zoo get hungry everyday.
Their basic dietary needs are provided by a yearly budget
administered by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Affairs of the County Of Essex. Your sponsorship money goes
towards helping with special dietary items and animal care when
the budget projection fails to stretch as far as anticipated. Not
only food but maintenance and medical needs when necessary,
will be assured through your interest.
 

. . . to help!

TBZ's Penny Machine

 

Looking for a great memento of your wonderful day at Turtle Back Zoo?

Why not try the penny machine located in front of the Souvenir Shop.
Put in two quarters and a penny and choose from among four popular
animal designs. You get back a flattened penny stamped with the animal
of your choice, plus the words "Turtle Back Zoo." A portion of the
proceeds from the penny machine goes to the Zoological Society
for the care and purchase of zoo animals.
