Dive Into Adventure at New Jersey’s Premier Aquarium
Nestled along the scenic Delaware River, just across from Philadelphia, Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey, is one of the best family-friendly attractions in the region. Whether you're visiting the Greater Philadelphia area or a local family, this aquarium is a must-see. For locals, I highly recommend considering a membership—you'll want to return time and time again.
The Cape May Zoo
Experience the fun and adventure of the AZA accredited Cape May Zoo with your family. Enjoy the beauty of the park while you explore the animals, playground, and carousel. Don't forget your quarters for the animal feed machines! Admission is free, but donations are accepted.
Turtleback Zoo
The zoo is situated on a hill in the South Mountain Preserve in West Orange, NJ. It is easily accessible from the Parkway and Routes 78, 24 and 280, making it a great stop for anyone traveling through the area and needing a place to stretch their legs for a few hours.
