Visited for the first time today, for my son's birthday. We loved it! The people are friendly and knowledgeable, and focus on the individual needs of the different animals. The animals are well cared for, and happy, and love their humans. Prices are more than reasonable. My only complaint would be that the place cold use a little tlc. The walkways were clear of weeds and undergrowth, and the trees were well trimmed, but some of the wooden walkways had broken slats. Some of the enclosures could have been better marked, too.

I took my son to the Papanack Zoo yesterday, and we loved it. They have a great selection of animals to see, and you can feed the monkeys (which is really fun). The staff were helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back, sooner rather than later. If you are concerned about some of the negative postings about the place, I would suggest that you just go and see for yourself. It is true that some of the enclosures are small, but the animals are so people-friendly and seem to really enjoy having visitors, that you know that they are being treated with kindness and great care.

You have to have the right expectations. This is a small family run business not a major zoo. That said, you can see bears, lions, monkeys, wolves... some pretty exciting animals. The site is quite modest and given its indoor/outdoor facilities in essentially a farmers field, cleanliness and luxury are not prioritized. The snack shack sort of smells for the same reason and due to presence of the bags of animal feed you can buy. Overall, it’s a neat place to see exotic animals but don’t go for the amenities.

I must admit that I vehemently supported the closing of this zoo until visiting last fall with my family. It is small. The enclosures are not huge. What I did see however is that when the owners entered the cages to feed, water or interact with the animals, it was an extremely positive encounter. There was absolutely no fear on the part of the animals. In fact, when the owner took in meat for the "big cats", they chose to play with the zookeeper and get rubbed/pet before eating their lunch. Not a sign of abuse anywhere. These owners cannot afford to improve the facility without visitors... And visitors will not come because they do not like the conditions of the zoo.

The new owners of Papanack Zoo have definitely made improvements, but even for a small zoo it is not perfect. It is fun and the animals are definitely as interested in seeing you as you are them, but some of the enclosures are questionable. I have seen animals who are used to living in groups completely alone, cages that are far too small, cages with holes in them, chest with doors wide open and nothing inside. It is not perfect but still fun. I did enjoy it but I probably would not recommend visiting to a friend.
