Daddy's Taking Me To The Zoo Tomorrow, Zoo Tomorrow, Zoo Tomorrow...

Have you ever heard the song, "Daddy taking me to the zoo, tomorrow..."

Well, the kids have been asking to go to Turtle Back Zoo to ride the train, feed the birds, ride a pony and more. But there are some other zoos in NJ too.

Here they are:

Adventure Aquarium
1 Riverside Drive
Camden, NJ 08103-1060
Tel: (856) 365-3300 Fax: (856) 365-3311
E-Mail: info@adventureaquarium.com

A great aquarium facility - watching the scuba divers interact with the audience through the huge glass tank was neat. Kids like the hippos, although the porcupines were afraid of them apparently. There's a neat glass tube you can walk through and see sharks swimming all around you. We pet some sting rays and sharks too. Our kids loved going to this one. We spent about 3 hours. Well worth the trip.

Adventure Aquarium features nearly 200,000 square feet of sea life and wildlife. Visitors will be in for an ADVENTURE as they visit the West African River Experience featuring hippopotamuses, crocodiles, porcupines and over 20 species of African birds in a free-flight aviary; surround themselves with sharks in a suspended 40-foot walk-through tunnel; explore the wonders of the deep sea in the Jules Verne Gallery; and even have an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Swim with the Sharks.




Bergen County Zoological Park
216 Forest Avenue
Paramus, NJ 07652-5349
Tel: (201) 262-3771 Fax: (201) 986-1788
E-Mail: zooofc@bergen.org


This great zoo, located in Van Saun County Park, is home to a wide variety of wild and domestic animals, living in recreated habitats natural to each species. The grounds are well-maintained, and the animals well cared for -- important for you and me. Without zoos like this that participate in the Species Survival Plan, the world would be a much poorer place.
This zoo has many different species of birds, some exotic and rare, such as the endangered Andean condor. Reptiles, likethe Red-footed Tortoise, the Green Iguana, Boa Constrictor, and American Alligator will be found here, as will mammalssuch as the Ferret, Opossum, Arctic Fox, American Bison, Mountain Lion, Golden Lion, Tamarin, and many, many others.


Cape May County Park Zoo

Haven't been to the Aquarium, but you may want to try going on a Friday when the amusement park is P.O.P. (pay one price) all you can ride for $15. Great deal if you're going to let you kids have some fun on the boardwalk rides.


Turtle Back Zoo
