Cherokee Bear Zoo and Exotic Animals, Cherokee

Small family owned business that we have visited three years in a row. The owner and his family are always so friendly. Yes it is small enclosures for the bears and it would be nice if they had more then just concrete to walk on and bigger enclosures but this family loves these bears and takes care of them. Im sure when they are able to move to a bigger location they will.. It is always very clean, it doesn't stink at all. The prices are fantastic for the experience. When they have babies you can take a picture with it while feeding, which is an amazing experience and also doesn't cost much.. We love seeing how much some of the others have grown when we visit and watching them..

This is my second visit and I love it. The bears are clean. All the animals are well cared for. The place doesn't stink like most bear exhibits. They seem happy. I'm sure they have inside areas. Maybe they do need a shaded area. The man is wonderful and loves what he does
