A good idea for a drizzly day with school age children is to take them for a visit to this Nature center. The guide was very informative. More

This is my favorite place in Cape May. We brought our lunch and sat along the inlet and watched birds through our binoculars. The volunteers and staff are incredible. Yay Audabon Society and woman of the Nature Center. You are the best! More

The Nature center is a must on your visit to the island. I never feel like I am at the beach when we visit here, which is nice, because I don't like to just go to a beach town and sit at the beach. Numerous wildlife to see. More

Right on the Bay, the Nature Center of Cape May provides hands on experience with the sea life and bird sanctuary. The children can help capture fish, crabs and assorted aquatic life and see them up close. The knowledgeable guides make it a fun and informative time. More

The Nature Center of Cape May is not one of those fancy bells and whistles environmental education facilities, but it a wonderful, welcoming center where my family and I had a great few hours enriching ourselves about the wonders of the natural world. The welcome center building has a fantastic view of Cape May Harbor from its deck and lookout... More
