We went to the Cohanzick Zoo today for Valentines Day The wife myself and My mother 90% of the enclosures were empty most of the exhibits were falling apart and there was no one walking around to keep an eye on things , when we did find someone that worked there and asked about the Tiger cubs they got rude and told us that they were not coming out , this was not placed on the web site to let people know that were traveling from 2 hours away just to see them .the people were rude and obnoxious when you tried to ask them a question and there were maybe 20 animals to look at so it was a 20$ donation wasted and the fuel to get there We will NEVER EVER go there again , it was a disgrace and they really should be looked into by a real zoo and have the remaining animals removed...

My children and I visit the zoo throughout the year. It is a pleasant suprise and parking and crowds are never an issue. Our children have hosted birthday parties, weve gone to Zoo camp, storytime, Boo at the Zoo and the Festival of Lights at Christmastime (ever had a train ride throughout!). Such a quiant zoo with plenty of animals, the rare magnicifient white tiger, bear, cougars, friendly gibbon and varieties of other monkeys & wildcats, etc. We even have picnic lunches there and make an afternoon out of it. No charge, however donation boxes are onsite. Free parking.

Although this was a very small zoo, with few animals it was a very pleasant experience. It is a donation based zoo that seems to be undergoing renovations often. I loved the wooden walkways and the abundant bamboo for shade. There is an adjacent splash pad and a food truck parked along the river bank. You can really make a fun filled day out of going to this zoo. FYI : if going to the splash pad there is a fee 3$ per person and everyone must have water shoes. Even the adults!

Usually this is a good place to run around, but thats about it. Half of the exhibits are empty, and this last time the workers were intensely careless. They left gates open, the worst being one near the singing dogs. Had I not had my hands on my toddlers they could have run right up to the cage and gotten bit. Also, there were power tools like chainsaws just sitting out unattended on benches within reach of children. I am very disappointed with this last visit.

Although, it is in the middle of a small town. The Cohanzick Zoo is one of the best, with a friendly staff willing to take the time to give aditional info. Such as; animal names and species origins. Its hard not to like the place. Where the Cape May and Philadelphia Zoos have more activities sadly. If you are looking for a historical look at what you could imagine would have been a Zoo experience. Many years ago, this is the place for you!!

This zoo is such a hidden gem! The workers here take great care and pride in the animals. Since discovering this place they continue to make improvements and upgrades. Need to get your kids out of the house and stretch their legs for a bit but you dont want to drive all the way to Cape May or Philly, and you dont have that kind of time. Then you need to check this secret out!

Ive always enjoyed the zoo ever since I was a small child, its not quite as big as it used to be but for a city zoo with free admission it has a lot to offer. Theyve been doing a lot of upgrades to it and though they have a small selection of animals they have a good variety. We miss the White Tiger but we love seeing two baby tigers now.

Digusting zoo. Went last year and heard two stories. One of the animals killed her brother and the bear tried to. These animals are not velbeing taking care of like they would be in a regular zoo. They all looked so sad and helpless. Yes its free but its disgusting.

I enjoy this zoo more than Philadelphia. Smaller, but more intimate experience with the animals and exhibits. Free family fun and learning in a clean and safe environment. Check out the reptile indoor room behind the coati exhibit.

Its free! Theyre helping injured or otherwise displaced animals. Theres a lot of shade on hot days. Theres a splash park and mini golf for the kids across the parking lot. Both are inexpensive, so you can do a lot in one place.

Great place to bring kids or just have a nice walk with your boyfriend/ girlfriend like I did. They do need more donations though. One of the staff members told me the zoos plan and I am all for it! Every little cent helps :)

Under rated little zoo. So much nicer now that the water is back in the zoo. Sad to see that the tiger has passed, but the park remains great, and especially good for it price... Free

EXCELLENT "FREE" FAMILY ACTIVITY!!! WITH A GREAT SURPRISE BONUS....ZOO HAS A SPLASH PARK NEXT TO IT...WATER SHOES REQUIRED $2.00 PER PERSON TO GET IN.....GREAT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY!!!

This place should do the animals a solid and close. This place is just sad and out dated time to close. A zoo should be run by people that care and have the funding to do it right.

A really cute free zoo. I go there often just to walk around. Its very shady and peaceful. Not to mention the great animals here. A lot of recent updates to the zoo look great.

Its a good place but it needs more animals. Some of the information about the animals wasnt there. They finally have 2 cub Tigers and they are sooo adorable!!

This is a nice little zoo. Free to walk around. But I always give a donation. Picnic tables and trails to walk. A great way to spend an afternoon.
