Best suited for a day visit with young children, the Turtle Back Zoo is a small zoo that still has fascinating animals such as the black bear and elk. A petting zoo provides a space for exploring friendly animals through touch. Visitors can relax and see the zoo's exhibits on a gentle miniature train ride. It is located to the north of the Smith Mountain Reservation, six miles west of Newark.
