The Cape May County Zoo is proud to have been accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) since 1989. The AZA logo is the most reliable way for people to choose zoos and aquariums that meet rigorous accreditation standards.
Look for the AZA logo whenever you visit a zoo or aquarium. It’s the easiest way to know that you are supporting a facility dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for you and a better future for all living things. Fewer than 10 percent of the approximately 2,800 animal exhibitors licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture are AZA accredited. AZA is a global leader in wildlife conservation and your connection to helping animals in their native habitats.
AZA accreditation provides the Cape May County Zoo access to the Species Survival Plan (SSP), the hallmark conservation initiative of all accredited zoos and aquariums. The SSP cooperatively manages captive populations of threatened or endangered wildlife through careful and deliberate breeding plans. AZA-accredited zoos do not breed animals to boost gate attendance or to sell. Animals are bred as part of a global program to preserve wild genetics. Look for the SSP logo throughout our zoo.
