Lupa Game Farm

The Lupa Zoo is a small zoo and is not cheap but it is really close to the five college aria and has American animals. I like it because it has a lot of peaceful animals as well as ones that are usually considered food or pests. The zoo is being improved. The last time I was there I did not see some of my favorite animals but there are usually bison, yaks, bulls, deer as well as bears, cat etc. I wish the food was better.

A few days ago we went to Lupa Zoo with our twin 2 yr old grandsons and their 5 yr old brother. They loved it! It is the perfect size for toddlers to walk from exhibit to exhibit. I was impressed by the variety of animals. The park offers a shaded picnic pavilion and a small playground which the young boys also enjoyed. Yes, there is a smell of animals and it certainly is not on par with major city zoos. But the animals appear to be well taken care of by a caring staff. During our visit, I lost my wallet. It was waiting for me at the ticket counter the next day! Another reason I love Lupa Zoo!!!

As a person who LOVES to go to Zoo’s I obv wanted to check this one out since it was only 35 – 40 mins from home. So today we decided to check it out. BAD MISTAKE!
This place was not worth the $ 20 we paid to get in. It smells HORRIFIC from moments after walking in (and the smell just gets worse as you move further and further into the Zoo. Half of the animal shelters were not even labeled so you didn’t even know what animals you were looking at, or there were not even animals in them. All of the «shelters» for the animals are old & falling apart, dirty, & just so sad to see them living in these conditions! The best animal they had was a giraffe & 2 black bears. Overall this place is just a dump & it’s so sad to see the animals living in these conditions! This place should be reported and shut down for serious renovations for these animals to live their lives in!
DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Interesting other reviews. My family has been there a few times and have always enjoyed it. It’s not huge but nice for children. Animals seemed to be treated well which is important to us. When we’ve gone, it also wasn’t terribly crowded which we liked.

I went here with my family while visiting my in-​laws in town and I cannot stop thinking about it. The zoo is by far the nastiest zoo I have ever been to. Flies everywhere, on everything. The bird exhibit had mice at the bottom of their cages eating their food, the lock to where they kept the monkey wasn’t even latched down, the fish tanks weren’t covered, the food that was given those poor beautiful animals outside looked like it was rotting. Just sad all the way around. I can’t believe they get away with charging people to enter that place. They really need to be reported, I saw so many unfortunate situations for those animals… there is no way they were up to code.

I’m giving this place 2 stars because we’re here in Western Mass, and can’t hope to compete with the San Diego Zoo or the Washington Zoo. Otherwise I wouldn’t give more than one star. On the positive side I was surprised by some of the animals they had, like zebras and giraffes. For the little ones there is a playground, small train and coin rides. But the entire zoo is kind of skanky, with flies all over the place, dirty soda machines, outdated facilites. The best that can be said is that it’s a place to take the kids for an hour or so, and we thank them for trying. But Lupa Zoo needs to be cleaned up.
