What families say

Kids can climb the lighthouse tower (small fee) and learn about its history, keepers, and lighting system, while the visitor's center and nature museum next door are free and worth a stop. The park also has nature trails, bird-watching spots, and a beach, so plan for a mix of history and outdoor exploration—reviewers who visited even in cold winter weather still found it beautiful. Parking is free and plentiful, making it an easy add-on if you're already exploring Cape May's Victorian homes or nearby beaches.
