I'm a big fan of the Turtle Back Zoo! They renovated it a while back and I think they did a great job. It's not as extensive as the Bronx Zoo, but so much easier to get to if you're based in NJ and to navigate if you are with young kids. The train ride is a classic! They also opened up a rooftop bar if Mom & Dad take a break for a beverage :)
