I recently stayed here, got a room for 7 nights. I had to leave a day early for a family emergency. I was refused a refund for my last day, I was told the owner does not do refunds. Pretty awful if you ask me. Anyway if you decide to stay here be mindful how many nights you book, because you will not be refunded!

I stayed here last night on 11/25/23… it was my fiancé who is 6months pregnant and my 4yr old. We literally got our room took our bags in and went to a restaurant to eat dinner. We come back to our room smelling like marijuana due to the guy next door to us smoking which idc but when my kid and fiancé continues to complain about it there’s an issue. So I go in talk to the lady tell her what’s going on she tells me I can’t move rooms even though she could have moved us and that it was tough luck I literally tell her that she needs to put up no smoking signs in the room and tell people to not smoke in them and she tells me that she can’t tell people not to smoke lol I said you can tell them not to smoke in the rooms or go away from others windows and doors so they don’t have to smell it and she just didn’t care. I have continued coming here since I have been a little boy and in that moment I realized that this place doesn’t care or have the best interest in children. She could have done something but chose not to and for that I will no longer be stopping here anymore.

I have been to this store several times & people are really nice and the bear was rescued from a circus but it is really sad that the bear is in such a small enclosure walking in circles. Seems he is still in circus with people staring at him. He has no room to eroam, play or enjoy his life. All the other animals are in tiny enclosures also and some are on hard cement with no toys. Animal prison. Please help these animals!!!

The animals enclosures aren't really clean at all. It all seems kind of cruel. The store is nice though.

August 2023 - came here for the ice cream and to see what animals they have. Beautiful foxes but wish they had more room to move around. The kids loved the ice cream (3 daughters from 6-10). Worth a stop for the ice cream if you are in the area.

These conditions are in humane. These animals deserve a better quality of life. The poor bear broke my heart. How can predators and prey be housed within feet of eachother. There needs to be a rescue and seizures of these poor souls. Write your congressmen to save these animals from suffering the rest of their lives

Free roadside attraction. Standard party store with ice cream sales. Place looks pretty ran down, could use a little upkeep. Worth a stop if your close, but wouldn't go out of your way as the animals might not be out for viewing.

Animals are beautiful. Sophie the Syrian brown bear is so sweet. Store has good prices for most items and very good prices on beer and liquor. Nice people working here. Ice cream cones at the window are good. Been going here since Coco was their rescued bear. The bear and other animals are treated well. Don't listen to the PETA lady reviews all over this place as they seem like miserable people that have no joy in life. My kids love coming to this place so much that we have been coming here every day we are up north for years to see the bear and buy unique old fashioned candy that is difficult to find.

Shop there weekly. Fairly priced and their ice cream is amazing. The owners take exceptional care of the animals they rescued

INHUMANE. This place is depressing. These animals should be rescued by an actual sanctuary. All of the animals here exhibit obvious signs of anxiety and depression most likely linked to their housing and diet, described on the signage. The enclosures are way too small for the animals, and they're dirty. It's truly awful.

Went for a visit and was literally sick at the sizes of the enclosures. Their poor bear looks under immense stress and moves much slower in her enclosure than others bears I’ve seen in captivity, probably due to its completely inadequate sized enclosure. These people could do the right thing and release their animals to a sanctuary that is properly able to care for them, but why would they when they’re monetizing them at every turn?? Money is the root of all evil and these people have reminded me that, that saying is 100% true. These reviews have been posted for over 6 years!!!! DO NOT VISIT THIS INHUMANE PLACE!! The owners have cared for these animals less and less as time has gone by, not even cleaning out the enclosures.
