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!
