Cape may zoo is a great place for family fun. Let me start off by saying that the admission is free. As you enter the gates you will be greeted by a team member and offered any advice you need and a map for your convenience. It is here that you can make a donation of your choosing. There are also boxes that you can drop your donation in if you wish to do it that way. Cape May zoo is a non-profit organization so please be generous! This zoo has so much to offer! There is so much to see including lions, prime mates, giraffes, capybara‘s, red pandas, reptiles, and so much more! All the animals look healthy and well cared for. The grounds are spotless. There are places to rest and even grab a bite to eat inside the zoo as well as covered picnic areas and a huge playground for the kids near the parking area. You can literally spend an entire day there for a donation! Our family has people from ages 7 thru their 80’s and we all had a wonderful experience. Go! You won’t be disappointed

This zoo is a standout on the East Coast! I loved the free entry and spacious free parking. My kid had a blast, and we enjoyed seeing the animals and birds up close. We spent 3-4 hours exploring, and the numerous picnic tables were a great perk. The zoo is impeccably maintained and clean - a definite must-visit for kids!

Had a great time! Free admission (donations welcomed!) and offered a great zoo experience. This was also the day of 'Boo at the Zoo' - so many kids were enjoying the zoo in their costumes. The exhibits were well planned and offered great visibility and education. A great beach trip activity!

My husband and I took our younger kids to the zoo in late October (for the first time) and we all had an absolute BLAST! It was set up Halloween themed and was so fun to look at! We had the most exciting time talking with the monkeys, and having a very educational conversation with one of the zoo workers. We learned so much about these animals and how they're cared for from him! This destination is now a must when we come back on our yearly trip to Atlantic City!!! It was well worth the hour trip and the admission runs on donations, so that is also a plus! We cannot wait to go back!

I came here with my family on vacation in the area. Honestly this is one of the best zoos we've ever been to, and it was free?! There are a ton of different animals to see here, and many of them we were able to get closer and see better than at other zoos I've been to. The park is large enough to accommodate all the habitats but small enough to walk around and see everything in a couple of hours. It wasn't too crowded and everyone visiting was in good spirits. The animals all appeared healthy, happy, and relaxed in their enclosures. We loved seeing them. We drove about an hour to come to the zoo and it was well worth the effort. We'll definitely be back here if we visit New Jersey again.

A must see when you're visiting 7 mile island or the surrounding area. The zoo is run completely on donations, no admission. The animals are rescued and spend the rest of their lives in the well maintained grounds of this zoo. The reptile house is a highlight with alligators, frogs, tortoises and more. It usually takes us about 2 hours to walk through before heading to the large children's playground. The zoo is open year round so when we visit the beach in the fall during off season it's a must. Don't miss is on your next trip!

One of the cleanest and friendly zoos I have ever visited. Habitats are pristine and very large for each inhabitant and it is clear that the staff are dedicated to the wellbeing of the animals. Food was surprisingly good too! It’s free entrance but please leave a donation. They depend on it to keep the zoo in the amazing condition that it is! There is also an amazing treetop adventure course (tickets required) and a great playground!

It has been a while since we have been to this winery. The service and explanation of the wine by Britney was awesome! The wine and the atmosphere are great.

This was just a random visit after our visit to the Jersey Shore Alpacas right down the street but what a lovely surprise. We were greeted and treated very nicely the whole time there. We did the 5 dollar wine sampling and they had a nice variety of dry, semi-dry, sweet, semi-sweet, and fruit wines. The best seller called the "Exotic Aronia" is a best seller for a reason. Definitely check that one off for 1 of your 5 samples. The cranberry fruit wine was probably my favorite but your experience will vary. I don't think there was a single wine that we all tried that was bad so I'm sure you'll find something to your tastes. They also serve different foods from cheeses, crackers, olives, salsa and chips, and so on. They are also multiple award winners which is easily understandable why once you try them out. It's a very cozy place that you can spend an afternoon with friends and family.

Nice sitting area to sample great tasting wines. Loved the chardonnay and the cedar hammock. Better than a 4 star but 5 stars are hard to give.

First time we bought a flight and liked all of the wines. We selected the pinot grigio, but its was a tough choice. We will definitely buy wine to bring home with us. The customer service was also top notch.

This is my absolute favorite vineyard in NJ at the beach we stop here everytime we're at our shore house! It's so beautiful and the wine is fantastic!

Stopped by on a Wine Down Wednesday. Listened to Mr Dennis Palma sing standards from the 50’s,60’s and 70’s smoothly. Sat at an outdoor table and sipped a reasonably priced flight of 4 wines while my wife sipped a glass of Rose. My wife and I loved the Rose (American) for our summer dishes on the deck by the lagoon. I wasn’t a fan of the Cabernet but loved the Cranberry wine. I recommend stopping on a beautifully warm Wednesday night.

I have had my fair share of wines made in the North East. This is by far the best tasting vineyard I have been to. Try Nonno’s Cellar. You won’t be disappointed.

Not a grand formal garden, but a well layed out walk through the woods with small surprises around each turn. Peaceful and lovely.

Would be 4-5 stars, but it's permanently closed due to a fire. It used to be very nice, we were saddened.

Neat little trail, but needs a lot of work. I remember coming here as a kid and it seems a bit run down since then.

Looks like it is now closed. Sign is no longer hanging up and gate was closed.

Very quiet place

First off, the property was lovely. The set-up is so nice-- tables outside, an open airy room with live music inside, and another, smaller room displaying an art show. I went inside, just wanting to purchase a glass of wine and walk around checking things out. When I got to the counter, I asked for a glass of rose, whichever one she thought was good. The woman kind of just looked at me and responded "they're all good". I was kind of taken aback and didn't know what to say- I hadn't really looked at any of the offerings, I was counting on just getting a recommendation. There was a line forming behind me and I was embarrassed, so I just mumbled the first one I saw on the board and went from there. It was very good (I know nothing about wine), but the experience of ordering was less than ideal and left me feeling yucky. Again, beautiful property and lovely set-up, not so great interaction with ordering.

A quirkly, interesting winery with 2 large indoor rooms for wine enjoyment. They sell a large variety of snacks & also sell some winery-inspired items. You walk up to the counter, place your order & then enjoy either inside or outside. As it was pouring, we got a white & a red wine tasting. The tastings are very generous! The woman who helped us was very nice. We did not really learn anything much about the wines. The wines were OK some better than others. Not as complex as we would like but we enjoyed our afternoon there! This is a little bit of a drive from Cape May but it was fine - we enjoyed the ride!

Employee was so knowledgable on the growing process and the wine itself. We're not from the area and we were very intrigued. The wine was great. The atmosphere was excellent. Really enjoyed our time here!

Great place with a good selection of wines. Nice and relaxing sitting on the patio to enjoy a beautiful day. My only negative is the corn hole boards. Never been to a winery with them and kinda killed the mood with the constant thump thump. Otherwise a nice atmosphere

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem at the Jersey Shore 🍷🐾🎶 Jessie Creek Winery is hands down Baba’s favorite winery — and now ours too! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly hospitable owners, Dr. Bruce and Toni. Their kindness and passion for what they do truly set the tone for a perfect afternoon. Our golden retriever, Baba, was greeted like a VIP and had an absolute blast exploring the vineyard and chasing bunnies between the grapevines 🐰🐶. It’s not every day you find a winery that’s as pet-friendly as it is charming! We enjoyed a bottle of the 2020 Stratus (a Syrah blend), which was smooth, flavorful, and paired beautifully with our BBQ later that evening 🍇🔥. Live music by Tony Caine added a fantastic vibe — soulful, relaxed, and the perfect backdrop for sipping and unwinding. Jessie Creek is a romantic, laid-back vineyard with a refreshingly cool atmosphere — a true gem tucked away near the Jersey Shore. We can’t wait to return. Thank you, Bruce and Toni, for such a memorable experience! 💫

Lady at the desk of the tasting room was so unbelievably rude. However I decided to stay, did a couple flights and got some cheese. The wine was decent, whites weren’t good but the reds were decent. I wouldn’t return as even tho the wine was ok the lady was so rude it really upset me and I almost left. The outdoor seating was nice

We travel to Jessie Creek on the 3rd Saturday to see our favorite band The Delta Cosmonauts. Great place to relax, drink wine, and hear the band.

What a wonderful experience for 2 of my grand daughters (ages 15 & 10)! They didn’t let a little rain stop them and the guides were awesome! Super fun event right here in our part of the State! We will be back to have more experiences with other friends and family! Thank you😊

My son and boyfriend did the tree to tree kids course for Father’s Day. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. After the training session I was nervous that my son would not be able to complete the course. However, each time he encountered a problem the course guide calmly talked him through. It was an excellent experience!

We had an amazing time. My 3 daughters(12,12, & 10) and I did the large course and my son(6) did the smaller one. It was awesome and the staff was so friendly and helpful. My neighbor got stuck twice and Easton (employee) had to climb up and help and was so kind and patient. I would definitely recommend. Definitely worth the cost and exceeded my expectations.

Excellent activity for active kids! My Godson and Nephew (both 11) took on the challenge for the first time and went straight for the adult course. The intro walkthrough’s were indeed helpful! One got about 3/4 of the way through and the other finished the whole course! They both completed the 5 line zips at the end. Although they were tired and sore they pushed through and have a great time (while fighting their fear of heights!). I would probably suggest a child’s course for the very first time. But it’s a great added attraction! Oh and make sure you have bug spray handy if you’re going to walk the trails down under the adventurer(s)!

We love Cape May Zoo and I wanted to try the zip line. I purchased tickets on line for my grandchildren and myself.They had our info, suited us up, waited about 10 minutes for the tutorial, then we were off to zip tree to tree. What a fun experience. We will definitely do this again.

Great experience for my daughter (8), wife and I on the kids' course. Quality initial tutorial by video and instructor, the right blend of challenging and achievable through the trees. We'll definitely be back!

The grandkids couldn't stop talking about their exciting experience here. I personally would love to see the knowledgeable staff members up in the trees with you, but others didn't mind handling the transition on their own. Go get your adventure on!!

For the sexond time this year I ordered the 1/2 fack of baby back ribs and received pork spare ribs. The cook and manager says its the same thing. Coming from a cook let me tell its not. They use the cheapest cut of meat for that week to make the most profit. This place was awesome but has gone way down hill. MCDONALDS IS BETTER.

Live music til 10 but came in at 930..Sat at the bar and was not acknowledged at all. I understand wanting to go home but if your doors are unlocked and you’re letting ppl in-the least you can say is you’re not servicing anyone else. Strange behavior on a holiday weekend.

My friends and I had a great experience. It was graduation night so it was fully packed. The kitchen was very impressive and everything came out hot within ten minutes. The bartender was slow but I believe she was new. And our server Amy, was definitely the best. She handled everything for all the tables outside. She was an awesome waitress.

We stumbled up this place on after visiting the Cape May Zoo and figured we would give it a try. To our surprise the kids meals were completely free (I think it's Monday-Thurs only) You don't see that very often nowadays, especially since Covid, and we were pleasantly surprised. I got a chicken caesar wrap and it was delicious and had some kick to it. My two kids loved their meals, a grilled cheese and chicken fingers (both came with fries). Our waitress Leanna was very sweet and attentive and we had a great experience overall. It's a golfer bar and they also sell wine, beer and liqueur to go. Would definitely go back here, we loved it.

Took the fam here last night for a quick dinner. Aimee served us and she was amazing!! Service was prompt.. food was fantastic and the venue was clean. Highly recommend. We all loved it and will definitely be coming back. Can vouch for the cosmopolitans too! The lady at the liquor store was beautiful also! Overall great quick bite to eat and experience.

It's a family owned restaurant. The food was delicious. It was very crowded. There are not many eating establishments close by. It was clean & the staff were friendly . They have a large & varied menu.

The food is amazing! I had the pulled pork tacos and they were light but so filling! Will definitely be back!

Unexpectedly interesting museum comprised of several buildings with high quality exhibits and artifacts. Guided tours only. Our guide, who was also involved in ongoing archeological excavations on the property, provided a fascinating 1-1/2 hr. presentation.

We had the absolute best tour! Our tour guide (forgot his name) did a great job and shared a ton of information. So much to see and learn!

Took the tour today & it was amazing! So much stuff and in such great shape. Highly recommended!

Considering that this is the repository for the history of Cape May County, it was disappointing. The museum is poorly organized. Items could be displayed much better, having descriptions of what the items are and how they were used. Running on primarily volunteer staff doesn't help. Tours are dependent on the knowledge of the volunteer conducting each tour. They told us they get no state or federal funding. If grant proposals are written and funding obtained, the museum could accomplish much more in restoring the buildings and their contents. The lighthouse light is the crown jewel of the collection and is worth seeing by itself. There's a 300 year old elm tree on the property that is also worth seeing for those interested in trees.

We only got to see the barn so far, but it was wonderful and interesting. The gentleman that showed us around was very kind and knowledgeable. We look forward to visiting again with more time to see the other buildings. Even my 6 year old found things to hold his interest. A wonderful place and amazing people!

Beautiful art by Annette Alessi and 3 other artist. Loved it!!

Amazing staff, and so many wonderful things to see while learning! Recently they helped host my sister's wedding, and they were amazing!

There are so many Refuge properties other than 2 Mile! Anyone is welcomed to venture into their other properties to explore, go birding, hunting, etc!

Great set of well marked trails, one of which has packed stone to allow those with mobility issue to enjoy the area. There is one trail near the main parking area and two further down the street which is a short walk.

While the walk was peaceful and there were some pretty plants, we saw and heard no animals or birds, and we all came off the trail covered in a TON of ticks (I've never seen so many at one time!!).

Well marked trail and a nice, peaceful easy trek.

Not much to see here. Just a short walk through the woods.

Beautiful trail.

Tom and Lynn are amazing bartenders, they accommodate all your needs and whatever flavor you are feeling. They drinks here are also oh so good! Every drink was just amazing. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for this great business.

Love the cozy speakeasy vibe! Rita is an amazing bartender and clearly loves what she does!

Excellent cocktails! Mikayla was very fun to talk to and made some of the best cocktails we've ever had. Very innovative and unique too. Cool speakeasy vibe. Will be coming back every chance we get!

This distillery is great and has amazing drinks and bartender (Rita on the rocks ).... this drink is a bourbon bliss, highly recommended.....

My husband and I went here for the first time and loved it! We did a tasting and then I had a couple cocktails- the Bourbon Mojito and the Peaky Blinders- both were delicious! We also bought a bottle of the rye whiskey to take home. The ambiance is nice, cozy and relaxing, not pretentious. There was a guy signing and he was great. It was too hot to go outside on their back patio but the bartender said it was kid and dog friendly! We will definitely go back!

Wonderful bar tenders. Great rum. We enjoyed the different flavors, especially the toasted coconut.

Have been going for years. Was always a bit pricey but used to be worth it. Miss the old bartender. He made the best drinks and was soooo personable. He made it an experience!!!! Just visited last weekend and will not be going back. Drinks were so overpriced for a tiny plastic cup ... maybe an 8 oz drink for $9!!!! Lady bartender made too much in blender but didn’t bother to offer us more for free. Not worth returning.

This place is pretty cool. They have garage doors in the front as windows which brings in a nice breeze during the summer months when they are open. They have the bar inside with a few tables and a little comfy chair section as well. Behind the building there is a nice little outdoor spot you can sit at. They do not have table service (at least when we were there) so you do have to go to the bar to get your drinks.

Well thought out decor and wonderful way to show tribute to our hero’s. The flight comes in a bucket. Garage doors open to let the outside in. Loved my beer choices.

Update 9/23 Tropical Storm Aphelia blew through over the weekend . Stopped in Bucket Brigade to wrap up a day of visiting breweries.. Heather was awesome and accommodated our group. By far our favortie beertender of the day. Thanks Bucket Brigade for allowing us to wrap up our day. Was down in Cape May area and biked along the Middle Township bike path and detoured from the path to the brewery as one of our stops. Enjoyed the beer especially after a 5+ mile ride from our last stop. Ended up getting a Full Throttle (DDH Hazy IPA - 6.7%) and a Doppelgänger )Double IPA - 8.1%) While an IPA fan, there was a good selection of other beers to choose from as well. Ended up ordering food from Dominoes mainly because it was across the street and they were quick. Not the best food especially in Cape May Court House but it did the trick. Staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was great with fire related theme throughout the brewery. Always a great place to stop when hitting the brewery pub tours in Cape May County!

Really good time honoring the men and women first responders. I had the Hydrant, bucket of berries, drunkin pumpkin and double chocolate inferno (took it home).. Karl (owner) and Scotty both say hello.

Love the fire house theme in downtown Cape May Courthouse very close to the park zoo. People very friendly and beers pretty decent. The venue was the best part.

Cool fire station that was converted into a brewery. The cream ale was on point as well as the hefeweizen. The tasting room is decorated with old fire equipment that was used by firefighters. They have a decent size list of beers to choose from and they seem to taste pretty good. Add this brewery to the list of ones to visit on your brewery tour of the Wildwood Cape May area.

Beers were so so. They had the most diverse list of beers on tap in the south Jersey area the week of 9/13/21. Cool theme.

Amazing massage! Probably the best I’ve ever had. Steve was attentive and able to really work my neck out. Thanks Steve!

Very courteous and professional. The best deep tissue massage I've ever had! Steve works with my schedule and as long as we live here I will only get massages from him

Great deep tissue massage! Felt relief from back pain after first visit. Professional and relaxing. Will definitely visit often.

These people are wonderful and very affordable. But my favorite aspect is you can call one day in advance and get in!!!

Great deep tissue massage! Steve was amazing. Will definitely be back. Thanks!

Wonderful, soothing & thorough massage. Rosalie is a terrific professional ❣️

The best massage therapist on the east coast. Book Steve F. now!

Great shop for handmade items made by local artists.

Amazing farm with berries, stone fruits, and more run by just two people. Everything was perfectly ripe and delicious and the owners are so helpful and nice to chat with. The best looking orchard I’ve been to. It’s a must go near cape May and Wildwood if you can!

Great small family-run farm! We went there yesterday morning and picked about 8 pounds of apples. The owner warned us that this year's apples weren't the prettiest but we still enjoyed them. I liked how simple and straightforward the apple picking process was. Great experience for our two young kids.

This farm has to be one of the best gems in the entire county. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and kind. I've been here on numerous occasions to pick blueberries, peaches, pears, raspberries, etc. I've lived in the area for over twenty years and only found this 2 years ago. Wish I had known about Stiles sooner. If you love fresh fruit, this the place to go!

Great small family farm selling pick-your-own blueberries, blackberries, plums, peaches, pears, apples, and maybe some more.

We were there for Strawberries, we picked 16 pounds of very sweet/ tasty berries. and we had a wonderful couple of hours on the lovely farm. Can’t wait until raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and eventually Apples and peaches come into season... Very friendly and knowledgeable owners .we talked at least an hour about the historic farm and surrounding area.we will definitely be returning.

In Covid times, it’s been rather difficult to find places to bring my family and comfortably enjoy ourselves, but Stiles Farm was the perfect spot for us on a nice Sunday morning. The owner was kind and friendly, and the farm was well kept! In case you didn’t know, there’s practically no farms in the area that allow you to pick your own fruit, but Stiles lets you do just that! Lots of fun, we’ll definitely be back for more delicious apples!

Great place for strawberry picking, which was only offered in the morning while we were in the area. Pricing for the strawberries is not bad at all, and since it was in the morning, the weather was perfect. Everyone there is really friendly, and the strawberries were delicious! We wanted to go again on our last day in the area, but unfortunately they were closed.

Owner is a decent fellow and gave some instruction to my son's (15, 10, and 5). Very relaxed atmosphere. All three boys were shooting pretty well after only 1 visit. Try to keep beginners focused though, if you miss a shot and hit a stanchion or wooden support by accident, someone will say something before too long.

Incredible owners. Very nice, and gave great instruction. If you don't know what to do one day, swing by and shoot!

Best place for beginners or pros to shoot
