The Cohanzick Zoo is the only remaining municipally-run zoo in New Jersey, and while that can have its benefits, it can also have its downfalls, and often, that can be a lack of funding and proper resources.

We are proud to offer free admission to our guests every day, but this means we need public support in order to maintain the legacy we have built as being a free, educational resource for our community. Below we have listed multiple ways you can help, and the items we need to help maintain our Zoo and to take care of the animals who currently reside with us.

The Cohanzick Zoo Society sincerely thanks you for your support!

In addition to our animals needing supplies to provide general care and support, they also need items that encourage learning, satisfy natural instincts, and provide an outlet for play and activity. Our Amazon Wish List includes items that help us provide all of the above for our residents! We’ve also included links below to items that our bigger guys love and are veterinarian-approved.
