Cape May County Park and Zoo
Zoo · Cape May Court House, New Jersey
An eighty-five-acre zoo inside a county park in the middle of the Cape May peninsula, holding around five hundred and fifty animals of two hundred and fifty species — AND IT IS COMPLETELY FREE. No admission, no parking charge, and it is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which most free zoos in America are not. There is a genuine African savanna paddock with giraffe, zebra and ostrich sharing open ground, lions, snow leopards and a walk-through aviary. It is funded by the county and by donations, and it is consistently rated among the best free zoos in the United States.
