Just enter a comment here with your favorite zoo resident! What's your favorite animal?
Good luck!
I'm a big fan of the Emu's. Watching them roam around in their 'Turtle Back' enclosure takes me on a quick trip down memory lane to my homeland of Australia. I've been living in America for 12 yrs now and my children and I love to spot all the Australian animals at the zoo!
I love the Gibbons!
I love the bears and their habitat. I like the "house" that abuts it with hints on how to keeps bears from coming into your house...
Mel the gibbon is the best!
The boys and I love to watch the penguins and the prairie dogs!
i like the aligator, especially during feeding time.
Where else can you run around with the peacocks?!
Cool contest! My fave animals are the turtles. :D
The otters!! Followed by the big pig, Arbuckle (?) in the petting zoo.
hard to pick our favorite really...the sloth, the penguins or perhaps the fastest turtle ever?!... the reptile house is the first thing we have to see when we are there...and no stop is complete without the prairie dogs...oh and of course the peacock families!!!
We love the Alpaca's--I'm a big fan of their fur (love to knit with it! lol)
After that, my daughter always enjoys the pony rides and feeding the goats...
I've been a fan of the prairie dogs since I was a little kid. Now my own kids are fans!
The sloth actually posed for me to take his picture this summer
The prairie dogs are so cute (and funny, too!)
I love the Budgies! Last time I visited they were really hungry!
My family and me love the prairie dogs the most, but we enjoy seeing all the animals.
The best is Dante the horse! HE'S HUGE!! My wife and boys and I all agree - his head is larger than my torso!
My son and I love Onyx and Gumbie the alpacas.
Been visiting for years and years but I have to say I love the otters the best of all.
I am a nanny and have been taking my charges their for over 15 years. My favorite exhibit is the prairie dogs.
We love all the exhibits but the new bird exhibit is a favorite with my kids!
My Kids love the new bird exhibit and visiting the farm every time we go!
My son loves to feed the sheep and goats, and we always look for the chicken with the "funny hair".
Sweet! 1 Year free!
We like the prairie dogs :)
Walking through the bird cage and having all of the birds flapping around you!!! Pure excitment for lil ones and even still myself still!!! Love the fact that you can feed them too!!
I have to say Peanut Butter and Jelly.. have become a favorite this past year.. when we can find them:)My family loves the zoo and cannot wait to return!
otters are fun
My favorite is the wolves
We love the penguins! My girls wanted to just stand there and watch all day.
I agree.. the prairie dogs are the best!!!
Penguins and prairie dogs (especially the one on the left) have been favorites for many years, but the last time I spent a lot of time watching the wallabies. I watched one patient "mom" for a long time as her joey kept repositioning itself, and a male who couldn't find anyone to "play" with him. It was quit a show.
But it's all looking great these days.
(Please do the bird feeding again next year. I'm anxious to bring my nephew)
My son loves the sheep and goats because when they eat out of his hands he can feel their toungs tickling him!!
Even though they are hard to see I am a fan of the axolotl and am happy to see them at the Zoo!
I have never been to the Turtle Back Zoo, so I would love to win and take my grandchildren. I want to see the penguins and the bird exhibit.
At Turtle Back, I love the Wolves :) At other Zoos, my favorite would be the Giraffes or Zebras.
I love the Snow Owl. It is so majestic looking, with its huge eyes and soft feathers. its just a beautiful animal i enjoying seeing every time i visit
My son who will be 3 loves turtle back zoo especially for the penguins - he can sit there for hours and watch them, for me to enjoy the expression on his face as he watches them, its worth the commute to take him
Scout and Sage ! ! ! ! !
We love the bald eagles ~ so majestic.
My husband and I went last Wednesday. I hadnt been there in YEARS! Wow! I was so surprised at the new areas, landscaping etc. I got some great pics, and we enjoyed a really nice day. It was definately not the same Turtle Back Zoo of the 70's I remember as a small child! We will be back!
Our family favorites are the penguins and the bald eagles.
The zoo has improved so much since I went there as a child. The exhibits are so much more animal friendly - more like an environment than a cage. And the new carousel is beautiful!
I love the Eagles! Actually I loved the entire bird exhibit.
My boys love going to turtleback zoo. That's their home away from home. ;) we love watching the aligarors and reptile exhibit. The zoo actually inspired my 9 yr old to want to work at a zoo because he loves the animals so much...
Love the birds - always have & always will!
The red panda is our family favorite! I can't believe nobody's mentioned him yet!
My son loves the owls. So cute to hear him say Great Horned owl.
The CAPYBARAS! What an odd yet cute lil rodent! Capybaras rule! :)
I went to see the Red Fox because I heard he was a funny comedian! He was a real sly guy :)
My kids love going to the turtle back zoo! We always have a fun filled day there! We love seeing the pengiuns and the prairie dogs!! To see a smile on my childrens face is priceless!! We have been going to the turtle back zoo since they were babies!! Great Job to all the people who make the zoo such a fun place to be!!
My two-and-a-half-year-old son loves the Big Bad Wolves.....
We love the llamas and the sheep. Our second son could not get enough of the llamas, I think because their chewing made him laugh and because their habitat is kind of dug out they were at his eye level. Our eldest loves feeding the sheep. He just giggled and giggled every time.
We love the animals in the barn - my son has always had the best time up there. His favorite is the sheep when it goes BAAAA! :) I look forward to taking my newborn twins there soon!

My daughter loves the red panda because she is from China. I love the budgies - if only my own backyard birdies were as friendly!
My niece's favorite animal at the zoo is actually the reticulated python. I like the roaming peacock and peahen!
We love Jam and Jelly! I always look forward to seeing them. we also love the cougars and the horse rides!!!
What's better than the penguins diving into the pool?
I like monkeys the most. QE
My family loves the penguins & the wolves.
Whenever we go, we have to visit the aligator multiple times. My son is obsessed!
I really like the huge tortoise in the Reptile House!
My son and I love the penguins. It is especially fun to watch them swim. They always seem to act like little hams when people are watching, and my son always gets a chuckle from watching the way they flaunt for people.
I love the little kangaroos!
My favorites are the cougars, the Kean University mascots!
The bird exhibit is by far the best!!!
My two year old says his favorite animals at the zoo are the otters. There is an episode of Maurice Sendak's "Little Bear" where the otters come out to play and Emily and Little Bear are their teachers. My son loves to watch the otters swim in their pool and he always wants to know why they cant talk!!
We love the otters, we can spend a lot of time watching them frolic in the water!
We love all of the animals, but my daughter's favorites are the penguins!
My girls and I loved the Prairie Dogs!
We love the Bald Eagles and bears!!!
Gotta love the pairie dogs.....thy are like that funnt relative everyone wants at family dinners
When we started house hunting (pre Kids) my main concerns were taxes, schools, and activities! Turtleback is one of the nicest venues to have so close to home! All the animals at Turtleback are awesome...but my favorite, because they are also my 23 month old's favorite are the Penguing or as he says "pinguin, pinguin!" he gets so excited when he sees them! :)

Love the wolves..and how well all the animals are taken care of at the zoo. Have been coming to the zoo for about 10 years on and off. Have a daughter now and she already visited the zoo at 6months old. Looking forward to many more visits
My children always hear me talk about Wolves and when they finally saw the wolves at the Zoo they could not believe their eyes. They are magnificants animals they do not get enough praise. The Red Panda was absolutely beautiful too. We all agree that every animal, reptile & creature made from GOD is magnificant!
