The beautiful architecture of Bridgeton is a valuable asset to all Bridgetonians...and to the entire nation.   This residence was built in 1914 and is attributed to the famous architect Wilson Eyre.

The Cohanzick Zoo
Bridgeton, NJ
Hours of Operation:
Spring/Summer - 10:00am to 6:00pm
Fall/Winter - 9:00am to 4:00pm

About the Zoo
The Cohanzick Zoo, New Jersey's first zoo, has been providing education and enjoyment to the community of Bridgeton since 1934. Located in Bridgeton's 1,100-acre city park, the zoo has over 200 birds and mammals from around the world. White tigers, bears, leopards, ring-tailed lemurs, and eagles are only a few of the magnificent animals that may only be seen at the Cohanzick Zoo.

Renovation has begun throughout Zoo grounds as existing exhibits are being improved or replaced. The Cohanzick Zoo strives to maintain the zoo grounds while working to achieve the zoo's master plan.

Adopt-an-Animal Program
What better way to help support the animals of the Cohanzick Zoo than to adopt one! Adoptions help cover the cost of the animals' needs for an entire year. Call the Zoo at (856) 455-3230, Ext. 242 for details on adopting animals.

Weber's Candy Store

Weber’s Candy Store has been making and selling ribbon candy, toy candy, candy canes, brittles, and chocolates for 111 years. Always at 16 S. Laurel Street in Bridgeton. And always owned by William Frederick Weber.

Candy making was the only trade the first William Frederick Weber knew when he moved from Philadelphia to Bridgeton. The 20-year-old opened his confectionary in 1888 – and it’s been a family operation ever since.

Today, William Frederick Weber “Fred” III, 71, still shows up every day to help with the candy making, but six years ago he turned the business over to his son, William Frederick “Will” IV, 40.

They ship candy to every state and around the world, and of course, sell out of the Bridgeton shop.

Weber children have grown up the proverbial kids in a candy shop – and often the envy of their classmates and friends.

“I loved candy when I was a kid and I still love it,” says Will – that’s William Frederick Weber IV.
