Budynok Yenota

Best experience ever with raccoons. Cute, cuddly, tame, young ones and adults. Don’t even hesitate — book your visit, take some pet foods and enjoy.

Let's start with the localisation. Budynok Yenota is in the city centre, about 10 minutes by foot from the main train station, Odesa-Holovna (less than 1 km). It's a good idea to go here during walking between this station and the old city. But be careful, because finding this place could be difficult. This place is under the cafe shop, you need to go down the stairs to the basement. You have two possibility - definitely it's better to choose the expensier one, with access to racoon's room. It costs 100 UAH per 20 minutes. At the start, the owner tells you the rules of this place. He tried to talk in English, had some problems with words, but we understood each other. What about animals? Well... Try to hide every glowing and important things, because racoons are like small thieves. They know what and how to do to find sth for them, f.e. they are able to open your pocket.

Perfect experience. We will come back there during next visit in Odessa.

Nice place to visit. Children will like to feed recсoons. Also there is a porcupine. You may touch recoons

All liked it. There is no strong smell. Yes, it smells like animals, but it doesn't stink. We arrived when the raccoons woke up and began to relieve themselves, so the caretaker was running around with trays, not waiting for the accumulation. No, not dirty, the interior is made not irritating to animals. Those who took the burlap on the walls for devastation are mistaken, this is done for animals. Raccoons can get into any pocket, snakes are unbuttoned with one foot. A shovel from the front pocket of my jeans almost worked for me, the car keys went out of the pocket with a snake, I caught it in time.
