About
The Cape May Lighthouse is run by Cape May MAC and sits inside Cape May Point State Park. Children need to climb all 199 steps on their own and be comfortable with the height, so it suits kids about 4 and up. Child tickets cover ages 3 to 12, and a combo ticket adds the WWII Lookout Tower. The lighthouse may close during lightning or severe weather.
