You know, beyond it being known for the Lighthouse, fisherman, wine and nature. What about those historical houses? Haunted you say? Hmmm...

The guide aims to get you to laugh while be a slightly unsettled with some of the stories shared whilst you're trolleyed around town stopping at houses and locations that are reported to have had paranormal activity. You'll be asked about your personal experiences with such occurrences and to share if you notice any during the final stop which is at the Emlen Physick Estate, a large and historic Victorian era house but with many accounts of supernatural occurrences over the years. If you like a little haunted history, take a ride. The $20 or so tag is a bit steep but It supports Cape May.

The location is convenient right at the Cape May Welcome Center, and the ferry provides a shuttle to this location which makes it perfect for day trippers. My daughter and I pedaled a 2-seater, but there are quads too. To start, we were given some easy instructions on how to operate the rail-bike which glides on a track no longer in use. Once we pedaled to the end of the line, we learned about the history of the line and the canal there, particularly its importance during World War II. When we pedaled back, we stopped at The Nature Conservancy's Garrett Family Preserve and learned about its history along with all the wildlife in Cape May. At both stops, we learned so many fascinating facts from our knowledgeable guides! Plus, I was told the guides don't always say the same thing, so it's different if you decide to go multiple times. They even take a photo of you on your rail-bike. In total, it was about 90 minutes and an easy ride depending on how fast you pedal. It was such a fun experience that we know we want to do it again.

When you arrive you are greeted by friendly pirate/sailors and you can have a face painting design on your face. Once we board the children are included in a good storyline which basically has to do with treasure and X marking the spot. The boat is followed by bad pirates and their water cannons on the side of the boat are used by the kids to wet the speedboat next to us. They feel included and enjoy the entire experience. There is a new store they fixed up in the building where you can buy drinks and such. Make sure you dress the kids up in their pirate costume if they have one as it adds to the fun. I think parking is included? I'm not sure as we walked over. I'll definitely be back!

It was a nice late spring afternoon when we went so we opted for outside under their covered patio area. Our server was so knowledgeable, fun, and really made the experience that much better! He allowed us to unwind and enjoy the space and gave us lots of interesting information about the winery and its history. Including how they names their bottles which was a neat detail to take home to share (as we got a few bottles for souvenirs). We opted for tastings of their sangria (so cool they have a few options of these) and a flight of their other wines which were all great but our favorites were their summer sangria (with peach) and their sparkling white wine. We also got a few bites to eat as well. The food paired well with our wines and we left full, happy, and with wines to take home for all! Highly recommend Willow Creek if you are in the Cape May area. You will not be disappointed!!! Also they sell their farm fresh eggs so you can get those too!
