Cape May Lighthouse Description

Cape May Point, founded in 1875, is home to a massive state park that's ideal for outdoor adventures. At the lighthouse, which preceded the founding of the town (1859), your family can tackle the 199-step climb to the top for spectacular views. A nearby bird observatory gives bird-watchers plenty to chirp about.

Kid Tips

Babies: It's best if you and your spouse take turns staying with the baby on the grounds below (and waving to older kids at the top).

School-Age Kids: This age group will most likely enjoy climbing the lighthouse (and counting the stairs!), then waving at folks on the ground. It will be a trip highlight.

Pre-Teens & Teens: They'll enjoy looking out below to spot places they've already seen (or want to see).
