Each excursion package includes round-trip foot passage on the ferry, shuttle transportation to and from the zoo, and general admission to the Cape May County Park and Zoo. Once at the park, guests can enjoy a beautiful garden setting featuring more than 250 species of animals, birds, and reptiles, alongside playground facilities and various dining options.
