Has anyone visited this New Jersey attraction? Cape May County - County Park & Zoo It is a free zoo that attracts over 500,000 visitors each year, and there seems to be a fair-sized Bird House, over 500 animals and a fairly new Reptile House (with over 60 species) on the grounds. Also, 9-10 primate species and at least 6-7 cat species are also present, but I've heard that the exhibits are nothing spectacular. Does anyone want to type up a brief review?

The zoo got back to me on facebook and said that the new snow leopard exhibit will open later this year. Our Big Cats/Snow Leopard Project Your gift will help us realize the goal of a new maternity den and habitat that will provide a safe, stimulating and natural environment for the breeding of these beautiful endangered cats. So far we’ve raise over $125,000 towards our first phase target of $250,000. We are in the design stage for a proposed 2,000 sq.ft. snow leopard habitat. The habitat will include a water feature, elevated land forms, cooling elements and 500 sq ft masonry den and holding building. The enclosure will be stainless steel mesh and the visitor area will have a glass wall for nose-to-nose viewing.

Here's a article about the zoo. It also says the zoo will get new Animals that will soon call the zoo home include a Chinese alligator and a breeding pair of pandas. That's interesting Cape May County Zoo: A wondrous animal kingdom at the end of the Parkway | NJ.com
Def pandas. I know this might be a dumb question but what are the chances of them getting a breeding pair of Giant pandas? hey it just says pandas. not red or giant even thou the zoo has one older red panda. I know when i was there, they were going to give the lone male Amur Tiger a new exhibit. Give the Howler monkeys and Debrazza's Monkey new exhibits. Try and get two Cougars. And raise enought money to start building the New Snow Leopard Exhibit. I couldn't find anyone on zoo grounds to ask questions bout this nice zoo. The zoo told me on Facebook that the new exhibit should open later this year but they haven't even started on it. so who know's what's up with that. i can see the chinese alligators probably being exhibited right outside the reptile and amphibian building which was amazing.
The zoo is planning to build a new spotted leopard exhibit to replace an old leopard exhibit destroyed in a snowstorm about 2 years ago. Zoo looks to bring back spotted leopards | Cape May County Regional Also, any updates on the new Snow Leopard exhibit?
The zoos Snow Leopard Cubs 'Bali' & 'Chameli' have moved out to take part in the Species Survival Plan breeding program. 'Bali' has moved to Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke VA, and 'Chameli' has moved to TurtleBack Zoo in West Orange, NJ. The zoos success over the years breeding Snow Leopards makes the Cape May County Zoo bloodline one of the strongest in North America right now. Also the zoo has a new resident at the Zoo! A female Silver Fox. She is a member of the education department and is being trained to become one of our animal ambassadors.
On Saturday, April 20, 2013 our female Snow Leopard 'Himani' gave birth to 2 cubs. This is their 4th consecutive year with cubs, for a total of 7 cubs in 4 years, making them amongst the best and most prolific Snow Leopard pair in North America. At this time the cubs appear strong and healthy. As usual 'Himani' is taking great care of them. Brand new at the Zoo this year is a Snow Leopard Cub Monitor. Zoo patrons will be able to observe the cubs and Mom while still in the nest box. Natural behaviors will be observed like nursing, grooming and playing, all never before seen by the public. The cubs will not be seen live and in person for at least 6-8 weeks, when they eventually come outside on their own... but their growth and development can be viewed on our new remote camera TV. The TV is located in our Savanna Garden concession area and is available for viewing during normal operating hours. At this time we don't know the gender of the cubs as they are too young for us to check out. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...9069194783.174821.307090549783&type=1&theater
