Cape May County Park and Zoo is just a perfect spot for anyone who loves nature. Whether you're hanging out with the family, escaping for a chill day as a couple, or just passionate about wildlife, this place is a total win. Seriously, it's a must-visit – totally exceeded all our expectations!

Was very happy it was free. We had 4 people with us. Only problem is the price of foods was way to expensive. 2 fries 2 hamburgers 2 drinks 2 cookies ended up being around fifty dollars. Next time eat outside of the zoo.

Can’t rate it high enough. Clean, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend giraffe encounter with beau and Jenna. Best time ever. Play scape outside zoo is great for 8 and under.

Great zoo. Entry fee is a donation. Animals appear well cared for and walking paths are kept clean. Love coming here. Always a must visit when in the area. Also has a beautiful playground for kids.

Outstanding experience feeding the giraffes at the zoo! After buying a few reasonable priced tickets for the "Giraffe Encounter" at the Cape May Zoo, I didn't expect much but received an amazing gift! We had beautiful weather to meet thse majestic animals up close while feeding them sassafras leaves and learning all about their lives in the wild. Great job Cape May Zoo!

This is a great zoo, with more attractions and animals than expected. Nicely laid out with easy viewing. And best of all, it's FREE (though you really should put some cash in the donation box, because this place is wonderful). Easy to get to...very crowded, but well worth it.

While there were several empty or “under construction” displays, you’re just not going to find more species in one place than here in NJ. It’s free, but don’t be a freeloading slimeball—put in a domination upon entering the parking lot! Just with the sheer volume of people visiting here, plan on at least a 90 minute visit. There were several docents stationed indifferent areas to give mini-lectures about features and skeleton replicas for children and adults to learn about the animals in the nearby exhibits. We saw at least 30 species in an hour and a half, probably closer to 36. Not sure where they get the “550 animals representing 250 species” numbers from…nowhere near that is on display, but anyway…

Beautiful place, tons to see and no charge just a donation. It’s huge, and has an adventure zip line for more adventurous people. Make sure you bring water and snacks for the kids, it can be hot and humid in the summer. They do have a cafe if you don’t want to bring your own.

A good place to visit when visiting Cape May . Cant believe this zoo is free … we actually didn’t plan to go to zoo, but when we went to tree to tree adventure, and it was in the same place as the zoo. Kids wanted to see the animals and since it was free , we just went in. Good collection of animals . We liked the birds 🦅 and few other animals .. kids were able to feed farm animals etc. food inside was ok, and expensive too. Had a good time inside .. parking outside was a bit crazy ! We had to walk a long way from the parking to the entrance .

Lovely visit to the Cape May Zoo. Free admission (no tickets or reservations required) to the zoo but donations are accepted. Great zoo, especially given the free admission. Lots of animals and exhibits to see. The reptile house was particularly interesting. There was a crowd on a Friday afternoon but it wasn't overcrowded...more than enough space to view the animals and exhibits an maneuver strollers, if needed. There is a zoo cafe which has some reasonably-priced food options ($8 burger/personal pizza). There are a few gift shops as well. There is a large and free parking lot the zoo shares with the surrounding park. The park also contains tree top/zipline activities...so be sure to plan this into your day if you want.
