Cape May County Zoo
It’s more than a county gem... it’s been named one of the best zoos in the world! Come see what all the fuss is about.
WHERE IS IT? Take Exit 11 on Garden State Parkway and
follow the signs.
WHY SHOULD I GO? Cape May County Zoo has, for
years, been something of a secret treasure, although its
profile was raised after it was named at number five on
the list of TripAdvisor’s best zoos in the world! Now, more
people than ever are realizing why this is one of the gems
of the county. The park and zoo are a great place to spend
a few hours to view more than 550 species of animals and
the landscaped gardens and natural wooded areas.
And not only that... now you can also engage your inner
Tarzan by taking part in the Tree to Tree Adventure Park.
It’s an aerial course featuring zip lines, nets, swings and
other fun obstacles for every age and ability. Depending
on your preference, it could be a pretty decent workout or
merely a fun day in the woods.
As for the zoo itself, visit the giraffes, lions and tigers
in the African Savanna, play spot the snow leopard, feed
a variety of farm animals, slither your way through the
Reptile and Amphibian House or watch the birds fly high in
the World of Birds Aviary.
Or how about a stroll in the park? Cameron Wildlife
Sanctuary is a wonderful place that appeals to hikers,
bikers, joggers and wildlife watchers. The park offers
several habitats including woodlands, lakes and wetlands,
crossed by easily walkable dirt and paved trails.
While the park and zoo are free, donations are greatly
appreciated to help maintain this fabulous amenity.
