The animals are kept is despicable and deplorable conditions. I am shocked this place is still able to remain open and hasn't been shut down. The facility looks like it hasn't been updated since it opened in the 20's. This place is an absolute dump. I would've rated it zero stars if I could've. I am ashamed of myself for going and giving this place my money. After leaving this prison I researched the zoo and discovered it has been named the Top 10 Worst Zoos in America. Next time you want to go see animal please drive a little further to literally any other zoo.
I think it is a good place to go and visit. It is off the beaten path to get there. The enclosures for the animals seem a little behind the times compared to bigger zoos. That being said, it is a great place to take the kids. Besides animals being on exhibit, the have a car museum and other attractions as well. It is a good place to spend a few hours.
The museum is located in several outbuildings as well as the main building, and it's an absolute gem. There is a cool and varied collection of items. Take your time exploring all there is to see. The zoo hasn't changed much in decades and is starting to look a little worse for wear. $18 to enter is a little steep. It would be great to see some new collections or upgrades for that price. Overall, it's a neat piece of Americana.
The enclosures are extremely old and outdated. The animals have very little room to move around. Some much worse than others. Wolves, Lions, Tigers, Alligators, Baboons, leopards, monkeys and, large snakes, Bear and Panther especially need much larger enclosures. Also, the animals had very little, if any interesting enclosure details like trees, ropes, rocks, things to climb. Often they had nothing. The animals are miserable. It was very sad to see. They are fed well, but live miserable lives. I find this disgraceful considering the museum owned by this family has 100's of priceless classic cars and motorcycles, tractors and rare items which are worth millions and millions. If they sold just one of these items they could easily afford to make modern, necessary and much more humane changes to the enclosures. I found the effort put into the welfare of these animals was very poor and this should not be allowed in this day and age in New Jersey. If more people took notice they would be forced to do something about it. Times have changed and this so-called farm is simply archaic, unethical and wrong. God help those animals. Lastly the wolves had such bad ear infections their ears were flat to their heads and the wolves were shaking their heads profusely. One of the foxes (black fox) had a severe would on its neck as well. Lastly the raven stuck in the porcupine cage was disgraceful. It was so obvious the raven was going crazy. All of this was very sad to me.
I have been visiting space farms over the last 35 five years with my own 3 kids and now with my grandchildren. It is a great way to spend with your family. All the the folks here are just so friendly and nice is in it self reason enough to keep coming back. Love it. Tom. From Pennsylvania.
