It&#8217;s located just a few miles up the Garden State Parkway at exit 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The zoo features over 550 animals representing more than 250 different species. You can walk through it in about an hour, or take your time and make it a long day! In May 2010, the birth of two Snow Leopard cubs put Cape May County&#8217;s zoo on the map. In April 2012, the zoo saw its third consecutive year of Snow Leopard births.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located within the zoo, the Safari Cafe offers to-go burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and snacks. Or stop by the Savanna Garden kiosk for beverages and ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get there: <\/strong> Off Rte. 9 in Cape May Court House. Take Exit 11 off the Parkway. Go through the traffic light into the zoo entrance. Parking is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-attachment-id=\"4658\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.capemay.com\/play\/cape-may-county-zoo\/mlg_7471\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;MICHELLE GIORLA&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D810&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1654089766&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;COPYRIGHT 2019    Michelle Lisa  Giorla&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;120&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MLG_7471\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"4658\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?resize=1000%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4658 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.capemay.com\/play\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MLG_7471.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px;
