Cape May County Zoo

Last week while still on vacation, we visited the Cape May County Zoo.  We try to get there every year.  Believe it or not, the entrance fee is by donation only and it is well worth whatever you choose to give.  The layout is SO unique.  There are literally boardwalks over many of the animal exhibits, so you get to walk through and over their habitats!  You have such a view and perspective as well as it being so very peaceful and beautiful.

Some very special "firsts" that we got to witness this year include: baby snow leopard cubs playing with their mom, a baby fawn basking in the sun, a snowy owl doing a peculiar dance around a tree, a lion literally roaring at us as he began to partake of his meat supper and the most amazing was that we got to witness a bison calf stand up for the first time!  It was born that very morning and we were there as it stood on its feet!  Wow!  Absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring for sure.

Lisa,

I enjoyed reading about your trip to the zoo. You only have to pay a donation to enter? Wow! Our nearest zoo is in Sydney. It's a magnificent place to visit, but we only go there every couple of years or so because entry is so expensive.

I love the sound of the boardwalks over the animal exhibits at your zoo. It sounds like a very well planned zoo.

It must have been so interesting being at the zoo and seeing all those animals Lisa. You got great shots!

What fun! We love the zoo. The best one we've been to was in Tampa.
