I heard of this place 3 years ago from family members who had visit the park, I've been hooked since. I make this trip from south california to bandon once a year for this once in a lifetime memory of petting these beautiful baby critters. Where else do you find a place like this with this kind of experience? The... More

Normally I am not the zoo type but these animals are well cared for and loved. My son had a great time playing with the chimpanzees. We even got to hold a possum and ferret and pet an albino skunk and bear. It's a walk thru park so you can take your time enjoying the animals. I sat down on... More

I left feeling sorry for the animals. This is a very poor excuse for a petting zoo. I imagine that small children might like it but they would be oblivious to the overall conditions. I went to take pictures but all I came away with was a sense of disgust and a fair amount of goat crap on my shoes.

The big lion was awesome! This is a perfect stop for kids. Even adults appreciate the photo opp's with peacocks freely walking about, and the deer and burros. There is a breeding site as well so they usually have a baby to bring out for folks - tiger, lemur. You can actually hold the baby! Reasonable price too!

My wife and I made our third visit to this park in April. Joy loves to pet the baby critters of all kinds. This time they had a baby bobcat and two black bear cubs. We also saw a momma wallaby with her joey's head sticking out of her pouch... A first for me. And I'm sure that we'll visit... More

I am not an animal rights guy, but this place I actually felt sorry for the animals. They were aa kept in small cages. There big cats are kept in cages that are probably 20x20 and they all smell like cat urine. The elk they have is kept in a 20x100 pen, this is very small for a range animal.... More

I felt dirty and depressed upon leaving. Animals looked scared, bored, depressed. Enclosures small with little enrichment opportunities. How would you like to spend day in and day out laying on gravel? Baby bear smacked on nose for biting handler. He's a baby and he's a bear--what do you expect? Ashamed I paid money to witness this animal exploitation.

Our visit to the Bandon Game park was excellent! The staff (family owned & operated) was friendly and helpful. We even got a AAA discount. I was amazed that there were many more animals than I expected. We loved petting the baby bears - Bonnie & Clyde and the other animals. I loved how the llamas, deer, peacocks, goats, and... More

Spring is the time to go! Summer is too crowded. We played with two little bear cubs and a small bobcat. The handlers were great at answering all of our kooky questions!
