This is my favorite zoo in the area. They've got nearly every animal you could want to see and the zoo is laid out well. The exhibits allow you to get up close and personal with animals you'd never want to get up close and personal with in the wild - big cats, bears, and more.

If you're in North Jersey, getting here is super easy and it's very accessible. They've got a huge parking garage, and the lines through admission moved quickly. If you've got kids, this would be a great place to take them as they seem to be very kid friendly (like most zoos). I'm sure I'll be back soon!
