The onset of the coronavirus pandemic turned our world upside down last year at this time. The virus was responsible for closing down so many places we enjoyed going to including restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, casinos, beaches, and the award-winning Cape May Zoo.

It will be a much different story in the spring of 2021 as the Cape May Zoo gets ready for safe in-person experiences according to 6 ABC. The zoo is home to 500 animals and over 200 species.

Safety protocols remain firmly in place at the zoo including face coverings, and social distance protocols.

You can support the zoo this spring and summer by adopting an animal from the Cape May County Zoo. Your adoption package includes a photo and fact sheet of your animal, an official adoption certificate, and a plush animal if you choose the deluxe adoption package.
