Mark your calendar and save the date for Santa’s visit to the Cape May County Park and Zoo!  Freeholder E. Marie Hayes and the Board of Chosen Freeholders invite the public to take a photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus during “Santa’s Family Workshop” on Saturday, December 14th from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

This free, family event, hosted by the Board of Chosen Freeholders, will also include crafts, education stations, entertainment and treats.

After telling Santa your wish list for Christmas, stroll through the zoo and see the more than 500 animals that call the Cape May County Zoo home – including our new snow leopard cubs, giraffe and bison.

Freeholder Hayes said, “This free holiday event is a way for us to share the joy of the season with our residents and visitors to the Cape May County Zoo.”

So take your camera and the entire family to the Cape May County Zoo for a day of holiday fun. 

The Cape May County Zoo is located at 707 Route 9 North in Cape May Court House (Exit 11 off the Garden State Parkway).   The free Zoo is open, weather permitting, 364 days a year – closed on Christmas Day.
