Wildlife Wonders and Family Fun, All for Free

What I love most about the Cape May Zoo is how peaceful it feels. You’re not rushed, and there’s plenty of room to wander at your own pace.

A Place to Slow Down and Soak It All In

The animal enclosures are clean and thoughtfully designed with beautiful walkways.

You might catch a lion taking a nap in the sun, a zebra trotting through its habitat, or a monkey swinging from branch to branch with ease. There’s always something exciting to see, no matter how many times you go.

Plan Your Visit and See Why Everyone Loves It

Summertime hours at the zoo are 10 am - 4:30 pm. It is FREE but they do accept donations as you drive through the gate.
