What travellers are saying
- Jessica V7 contributionsTish was a great host. She explained how the tour worked. Gave us history about the animals and how best to interact with them. My friend and I had a great time meeting with the alpacas and feeding them carrots. They were adorable. It was a beautiful fall day and I highly recommend mingling with some alpacas to lighten your spirits.Written 31 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Preston GPittsburgh, PA5 contributionsWe were simply on our way to a beach in Cape May when we searched for additional things to do and came across this historical gem. One of the coolest things there is an authentic dog tag making machine. For just $10 you can get your own set of personalized dog tags. The people are wonderful and it’s a terrific piece of US military history.Written 6 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- misspatrick1977Columbus, OH722 contributionsHusband and I drove from Atlantic city to the lighthouse. Very easy drive! They have trails, observation decks, bathrooms, nature center, beach, and the lighthouse. Be sure to walk the beach and check out the waves. I could've sat on the beach for hours. You can climb 199 steps up the lighthouse. Cape May was a great day trip.Written 7 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charles SNorthamptonshire, UK1Â 044 contributionsMy wife and I enjoyed our recent visit to Cape May and particularly our visit to the Washington Street Mall. The mall is full of stores, gift shops, cafes, bars and restaurants along a smart walkway lined with trees and seating. You could easily spend a whole day there, it is a very enjoyable place to visit. Parking is available on nearby streets and designated metered areas. Well worth a visit.Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- KCsunshine2023Pittsburgh, PA6 contributionsA fascinating hidden piece of history along with the WWII bunker. Cape May and the coast of new Jersey were quite integral to the war effort. This is a must stop. Mike is super knowledgeable make sure you ask him for the full historical rundown not the tourist gloss over. It is amazing how much we don't learn about the home front effort.Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
