Haddonfield is known for its vibrant public art, from the ArtWalk on Mechanic Street to installations scattered throughout the town. But tucked away in a small garden is a lesser-known gem: the Haddonfield Children's Sculpture Zoo. A zoo where children don't just look at animals, they climb, touch, and learn from them.

The sculpture zoo opened in 2019, thanks to the help of Stuart Harting, with just three bronze sculptures made by the late artist Eric Berg. Today, it features seven interactive animal sculptures that invite kids to explore, play, and imagine.

The sculptures are crafted by artists from around the world. Each sculpture has its own tale, brought to life through a QR code that shares the animal's background and meaning.
