The Longaberger Village is still abandoned and the parking lots are blocked off, but the basket has been repainted and is still visible. There is no way to park next to it, though it is possible to park along the side access road and get out for quick photos. Since the basket has been refurbished, maybe there are plans to eventually reopen the closed shops, but nobody that I asked knew for sure.

Bear-viewing price is now $4, plus a small condiment cup of apple chunks and grapes. Bears are to be observed from the top floor, after which patrons descend to the bottom level and poke fruit, sometimes unsuccessfully, through plastic pipes into the bear enclosure. There are stuffed bears available for adoption at the upstairs desk (a stack of adoption certificates waits on the counter). When we visited, there were only two bears visible, along with several large cages of birds.
