The Pet Store and Zoo are currently on schedule to reopen in the Spring of 2012.  Keep checking the website for up-to-date information.

*Please note that we sell $10 fruit baskets now ONLY for feeding the animals. We no longer sell peanut/popcorn zoo feed bags.  The fruit baskets are a much healthier alternative for our furry friends!  Giraffe feeding is available during the warmer months when our bamboo is ripe.

Animal Kingdom boasts one of the most extensive wild animal collections in New Jersey.  Many of our animals are endangered species, which is why the zoo is so important.  Our mission is to educate visitors about the importance of preserving the environment and, as a result, the animals that live here.

Animal Kingdom’s large collection of animals, some free roaming and others caged, have traveled from six continents to make their home at Animal Kingdom.

Unparalleled Primate Collection

Animal Kingdom boasts one of the largest collections of primates in the United States.  Among our honored guests, we have the Mandrill Baboon with its stunning blue face, three species of  lemurs and fifteen other species of primates.  We are also honored to have many endangered species here at Animal Kingdom, such as the very rare Spot-Nosed Guenon.

Giraffes in New Jersey

At Animal Kingdom, we have several giraffes, many of which are babies born right here in New Jersey.  Did you know that baby giraffes weigh about 150 pounds when they are born?

Tapir Fun

We are lucky enough to have Tapirs at Animal Kingdom.  Our Tapirs are from South America and are cousin to the horse.

One hump or two?

…The camels at Animal Kingdom have one!  Did you know that the camel’s hump is used to store fat, not water?  Camels are from Asia and are at home in the desert.  There isn’t any desert here at Animal Kingdom but we give them a large pile of sand in the summer to lay on.
