Cape May Zoo Announces Fall and Holiday Events for 2026
The Cape May County Park & Zoo is getting ready for a busy fall, with several family-friendly events planned from October through November. Details on Christmas events will be released soon.
From conservation programs and toddler classes to Halloween and a Pirates and Princesses day, plenty is happening at the zoo over the next couple of months.
Here's what you and your family can look forward to...
Conservation Day
October 3rd — The Cape May Zoo is looking for volunteers from 4-H groups, Scout groups, high school clubs, local organizations, and others to take part in Conservation Day.
Participating groups will help raise awareness and funds for endangered species while earning volunteer hours.
If your group is interested in participating, email nicole.freyer@capemaycountynj.gov.
Littlest Explorers
October 12th — Littlest Explorers is a nature-inspired toddler class designed to introduce young children to the wonders of nature, enhance their fine motor skills, and cultivate a deep connection with wildlife.

Creature Conversations
