Climbed many times well worth 199 steps I’m in the process of building a working model of it
I love cape may and it’s my 2nd favorite city after Florida (I forgot the cities name) and this was great because I was in Cape May this summer and we went to the lighthouse and missed climbing times by 1 hour (yeah I know I’m stupid should have looked on the website) and I’m hoping to drive to Cape May next weekend. And damn I want to go to the lighthouse more than last time. Anyway I have a request for a future video. As the lighthouse is not open to climb at night can you make a tour of it at night. I’ve always been curious what it looks like at night inside. Thank you and I hope to see it soon!!❤

Thanks for your wonderful comment! The Cape May Lighthouse is actually open at nighttime on special evenings during the year so you can experience that! We offer Full Moon Climbs on nights of the full moon and Stairway to the Stars climbs on nights of the New Moon (so you can see the stars better) during the year. They are lovely and a great experience. capemaymac.org.

To be honest, summer is the worst time to climb it, it's super hot and humid, little to no air circulated through. I climbed it Summer of 2009 and many of us were having trouble breathing, it was a nightmare. Only until you reach near the top do you feel the breeze from the opening. Cooler months are the best times to go.
I am embarrassed to say this, but my knees buckled and wouldn't move 3/4 of the way up my first time there. I had a panic attack! It was the 1st time I realized I had vertigo. I am determined to try it again in the spring!

Don't feel bad, that happens in small spaces. Make sure it's a cooler day when you go as summer is way too hot and little air gets circulated until you reach the top.
People say this lighthouse was scary does seem scary
The camera was on the people the entire time! All the windows, the view from the top, even the posters were barely glanced at and the view was almost entirely of the woman. Would have been without people at all but still wouldn't have seen much.

Hi Anne: Thanks for your feedback! We put this video together the day before the state shutdown and wanted to give people the feel of what it was like to climb to the top. The Cape May Lighthouse is now open to the public and we encourage visitors to experience the feeling directly and stop along the way to view the interpretive panels!
