I haven't been there recently but I liked it the last time. I've been reading some bad press about this "road side zoo" so I'd think twice about going there again. It costed enough to get in I remember. I was told it was orignally a breeding zoo so the animals are in a more relaxed natural setting than some other bigger zoos. I seen lions , a puma I believe and wolves....also some monkey type lemurs. They close up early so you have to plan your trip and look at their website to see the admission and hours, but like I said earlier google the zoo in order to decide about going.

There was lots posted negative online about this zoo, but it's definatley great to see what the new owners have done.. My family had a great time and all animals looked happy and healthy and the food was great.. Zoo clean bathrooms clean and had an amazing baby change/ nursing area

We visited with our 18 month old son and loved that we could let him run around and explore without having to stay on top of him. The open fields with animal enclosures all around were wonderful. Although small... if you take your time and really enjoy the animals, watch the feeding and have some fun you can easily spend a few hours there. The staff was polite and friendly. We will definitely visit again.

We had a great group outing at the Papanack Zoo. (Booking the event was very easy and they were very quick to respond to my email). The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They took the time to explain everything to the children and adults in the group. All of the children really loved seeing all of the baby animals. The petting zoo, play group and picnic area were good for mid day break. All in all and really nice day out! Thank you!

Please do not go to this zoo. I was SO mad at the tiny cages and I am not one to make a fuss about zoos and animals and such. Literally they have sooooooo much property with empty space. Like I mean you will see a 6x8 cage of 5 foxes smoshed together next to an open field of 30 feet until the next cage. Like REALLY???? Helllooooo common sense- make bigger cages! There was a wolf and a coyote in one tiny cage that was 2 x 3 and only 3 feet high I kid you not-see my pic. Disgusting should be ashamed of themselves. The playground is falling apart-the bathrooms are outhouses that were so disgusting. The chip wagon was gross. Fries were dry as anything and the poutine was tasteless and not even hot!We spent 45$ on entry and there was hardly any animals available they were all no where to be seen the Lions wouldn't even come out at feeding time. The man said they were unresponsive. Gee I wonder why.Save your money. What a waste.

Although I am ambivalent about whether or not we should keep animals in captivity, I did enjoy the afternoon spent at The Papanack Zoo. The animals appear to be well treated. Enclosures are clean and dry. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Follow the feeding schedule to get to see the animals close up. The feeding staff will give lots of information about the animals during feeding time.

The new owners of the zoo have certainly cleaned the place up! It still needs a few updates, but the people there are knowledgeable and friendly. It is a bit over priced for such a small place especially the $8 for toddlers. As seniors we paid $12 each and even that was a bit much for what we saw. But after being there years ago and going today and seeing the differences, it was worth it and I would recommend it to others.

Our trip to the zoo was just so much fun! The new owners changed so much and the employees are all so nice and friendly! The animals are fun, they come close to you and some of them even put on a show for you! They had baby animals for everyone to pet! They have great feeding shows as well as educational shows. I really loved the experience i had :) thank you, definetly coming back!

Visited midday on a Wednesday. There were a few buses of kids (day camps) at the park as well as many families. We were given a "feeding" schedule when we arrived and while there saw four feedings : bobcats, lions, gibbons and baboons. These are a real highlight, and notably the baboons and lions. This is not a fancy zoo as far as facilities go, but has many animals to see and definitely worth the drive east of Ottawa to Wendover.We paid $35 for two adults. Stayed a few hours to see the feedings and all the exhibits. Well worth the cost. Note: no rides like roller coasters or that stuff (there are pony rides for children for extra $5). Limited snack bar and small store mostly stuff animals. Not excessively priced. Also available is option to buy food to feed to goats, ponies etc. Would definitely recommend for families and anyone who loves animals!

I visited this zoo with my 8-year-old daughter. We had heard negative comments, but had heard that there were new owners, so decided to see for ourselves if this place was worth it! What a great decision we made! We got the Groupon Deal (although I think it would have been worth it even at regular price). The animals had clean and large areas to play and live in (and they all appeared to have nice shelters to sleep in and toys to play with). The staff that we ran across were very friendly and knowledgeable. There was absolutely no litter around, the portapottys were very clean (with a hand-cleaning station), and even though it was a drizzly day, there was very little mud. The animals were all being fed yummy-looking fruits and veggies (i.e. the monkeys, etc), and the large amounts of raw red meat for the lions seemed very appropriate, also. We also saw workers going around the entire time giving fresh water to the animals. Couldn't have been happier with what we saw here! Much better than commercialized zoos where animals are kept in concrete areas - this place seems very much like the animals' natural habitats. So, those of you reading negative reviews and thinking you may not want to go to this zoo, Please rethink it and go see for yourself!
