Enjoy A Fun Family Day Trip To These Drive-Thru Zoos In New Jersey
While zoos are currently closed in New Jersey, there’s a new experience for families to enjoy – drive-thru zoos. There are several in the Garden State and they’re great for stir-crazy kids (and parents).

This drive-thru zoo is $10 per car on weekdays and $15 per car on weekends and holidays. $5 of each ticket will be donated to charity (local food banks). This family-owned farm is home to alpacas, llamas, goats, sheep, miniature donkeys, horses, and chickens. You can bring carrots from home to feed the animals, as long as you throw them - this is a touch-less experience to keep visitors safe. Tickets are released every morning at 10 am for the next day. If tickets do not show up at 10 AM, that either means they are sold out or will not be open the following day. If you want to get out of the house AND support a local business, Brookhollow's Barnyard is a wonderful place to visit.

Space Farms' drive-thru zoo is open from Tuesday-Sunday, 10-5. Tickets are required for entry, and must be booked online. Guests are required to remain in their cars with their vehicles being 6 feet apart. The drive-through experience is 1 mile long and vehicles may go around twice during their hour-long time slot. The zoo is home to hundreds of animals including lions, tigers, bears, leopards, jaguars, lemurs, buffalo, sheep, deer, goats, pigs, kangaroos, monkeys, llamas, snakes, and hyenas.
