Kids love the Wild Wilderness Drive Through Safari in Gentry.  Where else can they see these animals just outside the car window?  Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the 3 mile drive through safari and petting zoo. 

Northwest Arkansas is also home to the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and Foundation, a USDA licensed shelter for abandoned, abused and neglected ‘Big Cats’ with an emphasis on Tigers, Lions, Leopards and Cougars.  For a truly unique experience, spend the night in a Tree House in the middle of the refuge.

    The Drive Thru Safari is one of our family’s favorite places to go in NWA! It’s also really fun to get a large van/Suburban full of kids and drive them through the safari. The petting zoo is my favorite.

    I was unaware of the Refuge…but I’m sure we’ll check it out now that we know about it!
