Many locals will tell you its great, but the Cape May County Zoo was ranked the third best in the nation according to Trip Advisor. The write up includes “Situated on the southern Jersey Shore, this wildlife sanctuary showcases more than 250 species of animals. Travelers can acquaint themselves with a bevy of birds, amphibians, reptiles, and furry friends – and, when not gawking at quadrupeds, can wander through one of the lush nature trails, or hop on the train and carousel rides.” The zoo came in third behind Henry Doorly Zoo and the Saint Louis Zoo respectively.
