Turtle Back Zoo is a great zoo that gives you a very good option outside the NYC Zoo's. It's easy to navigate with lots of animals and updated areas to visit. Having said that, I'm giving it 1 star for the HORRENDOUS Bee infestation they have! They are EVERYWHERE, every garbage had a wasp trap that did nothing along with dozens of bees swarming above. There were over 50 trash areas.. My wife is allergic and we have 2 toddlers that we don't know if also allergic. After spending 30 minutes walking *past* exhibits cause of bees chasing us we decided to just leave! It was a total waste of money! I told the staff about this and if they was any way to get a refund or even passes to a different day, say in the winter with no bees, I was told it's all part of the zoo and they can't do anything about it! I guess someone will have to go into shock from a bee sting and go after them before any changes are made.

Be warned, if you don't like bees or allergic to them to steer clear until they resolve this issue. It's a nice zoo but not worth you or your kids life!
