Earthplace in Westport had one when I was there this summer. They're a rehab with visitation for education purposes not a zoo, so they may have released it if it was releasable. It's worth going if you have kids even if they don't still have the opossum, the bird of prey feeding is really cool to watch.

​

Spoiler alert: Opossums are nocturnal so if they still have it it will probably just be sleeping during their business hours. Also they smell bad.

He’s still there as of a month ago, but visitors can’t pet him (or most of the other animals they have)

I think they're kind of cute in a "what the hell is this evolutionary abomination and why is it snarling at me?" Kind of way.

My little terrier dog can wrassle on up for you to cuddle.
