Cape May is as beautiful as you remember |
|
From open air trolley tours and walking tours around town, to outdoor events and dining for families and date nights at the Physick Estate, there is a lot do in this National Historic Landmark City, even now |
|
Cape May's Beach Avenue is a delightful morning walk and also part of some custom tour routes. Our Group Tour Manager Susan Gibson can customize your self-quarantined group's Cape May tour experience in dozens of different ways. |

Do you have a family or friends group who would like their own tour around town? Call or email Susan Gibson, Group Tour Manager, at 609-224-6030. We can make that happen, safely. Learn more.
Guided tours of the Physick House Museum are now offered daily. While capacity is limited to meet indoor safety protocols and guidelines, we like to think of this more intimate tour as a silver lining to this pandemic, a more up-close experience for you, our guests. Guides wear face shields or masks and guests wear face masks. We maintain the appropriate social distance.
New! Beginning Aug. 9 a new Physick House Museum house tour takes flight! Take the Magic & Mystery House Tour and learn about the Victorian fascination with magic, illusion, the mysterious and the odd. You will learn about The Great Lafayette, "The World’s Greatest Magician," Harry Houdini, the astounding escape artist, Ionia, the Goddess of Mystery, Pepper's Ghost, Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and more. Combine your tour with the popular Cape Mayhem & Victorian Oddities Trolley Tour, on Sunday evenings, for a double dose of Victorian weirdness.

We need you now more than ever. Every donation, membership and ticket purchase for future use, helps sustain us during this difficult time. Our capacity is limited to help keep our guests safe and secure and to comply with safety protocols, but that means our capacity is drastically reduced. Purchasing a membership now helps us this get through this year while helping you later by granting you free admission to many of our tours and events.
