Forked River, New Jersey - Popcorn Park Zoo

A haven since 1977 for abandoned and/or abused animals, or for those whose owners moved and found out they can't keep them in that State. Still open and a treat for mostly youngsters, but I'm in my 50's and go there every year or so.

Check out the cathouse while you are there; no, it is not a house of ill repute, but a small home for felines.

For railfans, the access road, Lacey Rd, parallels the abandoned right of way of the Tuckerton RR. [Andy Sinatra, 07/19/2007]

Lacey Twp. - Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey - Popcorn Park Zoo

Popcorn Park Zoo is a small zoo dedicated to animals that have no place to go or were abused or hurt in accidents. For a small zoo in the Pinelands region of New Jersey they have quite a few animals to see, including local favorites like black bears, bobcats, and even 3-legged deer! More exotic animals are Peacocks, Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, many large cats, monkeys, and even an African Bull Elephant! The usuals are there as well, like geese and ducks, goats, cows, etc... all willing to gobble up the popcorn you can purchase to feed them. This is one zoo that says, "Please, feed the animals!" The Popcorn Park Zoo is located in Lacey Township of Ocean County NJ. Take Garden State Parkway exit 74 and head west on Lacey Road for a few miles, following signs. [Adam Dunko, 11/22/1996]
