The Papanack Park Zoo is a family owned and operated facility that has been breeding exotic animals and birds since the early 1980’s. In 1994, public curiosity prompted us to have a one-year trial opening to the public, and due to the motivating response that we received from our visitors that year, we decided to continue to ‘grow’ Papanack Animal Park, resulting in The Papanack Park Zoo you see today.

We are involved in National and International Breeding Programs and some of the animals at Papanack are only on Breeding Loan and some of our animals are being loaned to other facilities to further the conservation of the species.

These are the animals which you can find at Papanack Park Zoo: African Lion White Lion (Cubs), Alaskan Wolf, American Black Bear, Arctic Wolf, Canadian Lynx, Donkey, Guinea Pig, Hamadryas Baboon, Llama, Pigmy Goat, Rabbit, Raccoon, Red Fox, Sheep, Silver Fox, Snow Leopard, Snow Monkey, Striped Hyena, Siberian Tiger, Timber (Gray) Wolf, Western Cougar, Birds Ring-neck Pheasants, Wild Turkey, Blue Slate Turkey, Ducks, Geese, Swans, Chickens, Guinea Fowl, Pea Fowl, Doves, Black Bears, Raccoons,
