Fall at the Cape May County Park & Zoo

Posted August 30th 2021

Have a wild time and be sure to explore this world-renowned Park and Zoo for a full day of family fun. The Cape May County Park & Zoo features more than 500 animals representing over 200 different species with up-close viewing. Be sure to travel through the World of Birds Aviary, the Reptile House, the Arc in the Park Gift Shop and more! Jump on the carousel, hop around two great playground areas, or get a bird’s eye view with the Tree to Tree Adventure Park featuring an aerial adventure course with zip lines, nets, Tarzan swings and obstacles for all ages and ability!

What’s new at the zoo? A lot! This zoo is always up to something, and this summer welcomed a variety of new species and habitats. Capybara pups were born June 15 and are the cutest! What are their names? We’ll find out as the zoo is hosting a naming contest and will announce the winning male and female names in early fall.

The Cape May County Zoological Society is currently in the midst of a Habitat Fundraising Campaign to build two new exhibits to house Red Kangaroos, Emus, and Toco Toucans. And some of these animals are already here, awaiting their new digs! Be sure to meet Delta and Echo the new emus, and three female kangaroos: Proodence, Gertroode, and Roothie!

Donations are still being accepted at capemayzoosociety.org to finish the project.

Plus, the zoo has a great schedule of special events through the fall including Night Walks, Yoga, Snow Leopard Day, Trunk or Treat, and the popular Boo at the Zoo! Check the website for news and announcements, and a full schedule of events.
