The Cape May Ferry Terminal has undergone an exciting overhaul and is now Exit Zero at Ferry Park. The new venue offers a selection of restaurants and retail shopping that both tourists and locals alike can enjoy. It also serves as a spot to host special occasions, parties, and more.
“Our company, Exit Zero Hospitality, took a rather unwelcoming ferry terminal building and transformed it into a spectacular venue,” says Jack Wright, owner and creative director. He adds the new spot offers three restaurants, a cafe and gift shop, plus a lawn; the latter hosts a free concert series and events for up to 2,000 people. The outdoor green will also host the annual Exit Zero Jazz Festival and themed festivals for holidays like Halloween and Christmas.
