点评:This is a review for Christmas experience at the Zoo
Wow… can’t believe I didn’t know about this despite living in NJ for 8 years!
Turtle Back Zoo turns into a complete Christmas paradise after 5 PM, and it’s absolutely magical.
I recently found out about this and, after seeing the lights and activities, I was genuinely impressed. During the holiday season, entry is free after 5 PM through sponsorship, which is a huge plus.
Timings are 5 PM – 9 PM. Parts of the zoo remain open, so you can still see animals and birds like bison, giraffes, toucans, and more, which makes it extra special for kids.
The entire park is beautifully lit with festive decorations and multiple Christmas trees. The area near the carousel looks amazing.
For Kids’ Activities - There’s no shortage of fun for children- Face painting, Meet & greet with Santa (on specific days/times), Carousel rides, Pony rides etc…
Food and beverages are well taken care of, like Starbucks or Zoo’s own food sections spread across the park Perfect for grabbing a warm drink while walking around.
They also have private igloos available: You can rent for 4 hours that can accommodates up to 10 guests, Includes hot chocolate and snacks
Its located in West Orange, Essex County
Parking: Two multi-level parking garages—parking is hassle-free and well organized.
Overall, it was an amazing 2–3 hour evening spent with friends. Festive, family-friendly, and surprisingly delightful.
Highly recommended—especially if you have kids!
翻译:这是一篇关于动物园圣诞体验的点评
哇……真不敢相信我在新泽西州住了八年竟然不知道有这么棒的圣诞活动!
龟背动物园(Turtle Back Zoo)下午五点以后就变成了一个彻头彻尾的圣诞天堂,简直美得像仙境一样。
我最近才发现这个活动,看到灯光和各种活动后,真的被惊艳到了。节日期间,下午五点以后免费入园,这要感谢赞助商,真是太棒了!
活动时间是下午五点到晚上九点。动物园的部分区域仍然开放,所以你仍然可以看到野牛、长颈鹿、巨嘴鸟等动物和鸟类,这对孩子们来说尤其特别。
整个园区都装饰着美丽的节日彩灯和各式各样的圣诞树。旋转木马附近的区域看起来尤其令人惊艳。
儿童活动——这里为孩子们准备了丰富多彩的娱乐活动,包括脸部彩绘、与圣诞老人见面(特定日期/时间)、旋转木马、骑小马等等。
餐饮方面也考虑周到,园内设有星巴克和动物园自营的餐饮区,方便您在游览时享用一杯热饮。
此外,这里还提供私人冰屋租赁服务:您可以租用4小时,最多可容纳10位客人,包含热巧克力和小吃。
地点位于埃塞克斯郡西奥兰治。
停车:设有两座多层停车场,停车方便有序。
总而言之,与朋友们度过了一个美好的2-3小时夜晚。这里充满节日气氛,适合家庭游玩,而且出乎意料地令人愉快。
强烈推荐——尤其适合带孩子来!
