Horse and Carriage Sightseeing Tours in Cape May

Are you going to be visiting Cape May in New Jersey? Looking for a unique way to see some of the tourist sites and Victorian homes in the area? If so, consider a horse and carriage sightseeing tour offered by the Cape May Carriage Company. They offer tours to the public, during special events and throughout the holiday season. They've been offering these tours since 1983. 

During the summer season you can take a private carriage ride through Cape May's historic district. Their hours of operation depends on the weather. They don't operate the tours during the high heat times of the year. During those HOT summer days...it's best to go early in the morning or later in the evening after it starts to cool down. This keeps YOU and the horses safe!

You can reserve your tour online or by visiting their booth at Washington and Ocean Streets...right beside the Washington Street Mall. You'll need to show them your ID, so please bring it along with you. Cameras are permitted during the tour. 

The tours vary from 15 minutes to 30 minutes in length. Typically the price includes 4 adults and 2 lap-sized children. Check out the Cape May Carriage Company's website for detailed information on the type's of tours that are offered along with the company's operating schedule. 

Veterans Memorial Park in North Wildwood

For the past 2 years we've been watching the construction going on in North Wildwood for the new Veterans Memorial Park. Well, it's finally completed and we got to visit the park back in April 2025. This park is beautifully landscaped and well-maintained. It's free to visit and a free parking lot is located at the park. Handicap accessible too!

* Please be patient and allow all of the photographs to load.

This park honors veterans from all branches of service. There's a section that honors Gold Star Families with a special Monument and Memorial too. The walkways are paved so it's an easy walk or for those with walking assisted devices and wheelchairs. 

When visiting you'll want to allow 15-30 minutes of time in your schedule. You'll park and walk on the paved walkways visiting all of the monuments and memorials. It's open-year round. There are a few park benches that you can sit on to people-watch or just to sit and relax while you're there.

We had perfect weather when we were there so we got some great photographs to share with you. You can double-click on each one to have it open-up in a new window in an enlarged size. Make sure you walk around each monument because some of them have wording on the other side too. 

Every time we travel we like to visit local veteran memorials and monuments as a way to pay our respects to our nation's vets...past, present and future. Visiting Veterans Memorial Park in North Wildwood was an awesome experience. They did a really nice job building this park to honor our veterans and gold star families. A very respectful and honorable place to visit.

If you're going to be visiting the Stone Harbor, Wildwood and/or Cape May area in southern New Jersey...make sure you take a few minutes to stop by the Veterans Memorial Park in North Wildwood. You'll come onto the north end of the island and it's sits right on the left-hand side of the road after you pass Wawa which sits on the right. Very easy to get to.

This is one FREE activity that you and your family can enjoy while visiting the Wildwood area at the Jersey Shore.
