===========================================

Cohanzick zoo is New Jersey's first zoo and admission is free to enter. According to the official website, "the zoo was named for the band of Lenape Indians who resided in Bridgeton alongside the river - as a result, they became known as the Cohanzick Indians. Today, the Cohansey River peacefully flows through the park adding a unique natural setting." The zoo has over a hundred animals and a walk through aviary.

The zoo is open all year round and makes a great family day out. Picnic areas are available.
