Cape May County Park & Zoo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cape May County Park & Zoo in Cape May Court House, New Jersey provides free year-round admission to a collection of over 500 animals representing 200 species in 80 acres (324,000 m²) of exhibits. The zoo began operation in 1978. Its principal exhibit areas are a 57 acre (231,000 m²) African Savanna, a free-flight aviary, and a reptile collection. The zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), and participates in a number of its species survival programs. In particular, a Mountain Bongo Antelope from the zoo's collection was sent to the Mt. Kenya World Heritage Site in 2004 to join a captive breeding population intended to reestablish a wild population in future generations.
