The Cape May County Park & Zoo
– Rating: 5.0 / 5 (1,629)
– Type of activity: Zoos
– Address: 707 N Route 9, Cape May Court House, Middle Township, NJ 08210-1646
I LOVE Cape May County Park & Zoo and have such great memories of going there with my kids when they were younger.
It’s definitely one of the best free attractions in New Jersey and it’s open year-round, so if you can’t get there before the kids go back to school, hopefully you can find a day to go to the zoo this fall. Donations are appreciated.
