It's a different experience, but it depends on when you go. I took my family to Philly Zoo about a week ago and a lot of the animals were "gone". Alot of animals aren't out when it's under 60 degrees... so it looked more like a petting zoo. Granted the were some big animals out, like lions and hippos and bears, or still felt empty compared to when we went last August. The most crowded area was the kid section. Kid could pet sheep in one section or pet bugs in another. (Something Cape May doesn't have, or at least didn't 2 years ago when I was last there) Philly also has more places to eat than Cape May. I guess the bottom line is this... If you want to see animals but you're on a budget, go to Cape May. If you don't mind spending money and want souvenirs and food and want to touch sheep or insects, go to Philly.
Cape May zoo is free and free is good!
I'm originally from Wildwood nothing's better than my zoo LOL... And cape May is free. But it's very nice just went last weekend. I was very surprised very clean and maintained but just wait till its little bit warmer ther will be more animals outside.
From the reviews it seems Cape May Zoo is bigger and has free admission. I enjoy going to the Philadelphia Zoo but might need to take a ride and visit Cape May Zoo
Much better!
