Turtle Back Zoo Holiday Lights

Each year during the holiday season, the Turtle Back Zoo turns into a glittering trail of lights for individuals to enjoy in the month of December. For our guests with short term leases in New Jersey this month, the event runs 5 pm to 9 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, starting from November 17 to December 3, and nightly from December 8 to December 31 (closed on December 24 & 25). Admission is free, and attendees can engage in various activities such as visiting the carousel, touch tank, face painting, reptile house, farm, train, and gift shop (some activities may have associated fees). Reservations are not required. This special event offers a unique backdrop with some animals, focusing on an evening stroll through light displays and photo opportunities with friends and family.
