Awesome Zoo
We had a great time at the zoo. Although the zoo is technically free, they do ask for a donation when you arrive, which we gladly gave a few dollars. Parking was also free. I recommend arriving as early as possible. It fills up pretty fast. Overall it seemed well kept. Lots of different animals to check out. They have a nice souvenir shop at the entrance and food/drink stands throughout. You can easily spend an hour or two walking around so wear comfortable shoes. Only thing I didn’t like were the people at the front entrance. They didn’t even acknowledge you when you arrived. Not very friendly, but we still had a good time.

Don't miss this zoo!
My husband, 6-year-old, and I spent five hours at this zoo/park, and it was a highlight of our trip to Cape May. The zoo is part of a beautiful large park that offers trails, zip lines, shaded picnic pavilions, plenty of parking, and a fantastic playground. This zoo is better than Philadelphia, and we couldn't believe it was free/donations. Everything was very clean, the staff was helpful and friendly, and the impressive variety of animals had nice habitats. Best of all, on a hot summer day, there were plenty of shady places like elevated boardwalks through the woods, so we weren't in the sun on hot pavement all day. Take some quarters if you want to buy food to feed the goats. It was an easy walk back to the car and pavilions for our picnic lunch, and then back into the zoo. There were some snack bars with junk food; I'm glad we packed. If you have young children, or you enjoy nature and animals, this is a fun and affordable way to spend a good part of the day.
