Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, a USDA licensed refuge for Big Cats, is a short 7 miles from the historic tourist town of Eureka Spring, AR, on scenic highway 23.
Turning into the main driveway, our visitors are treated to a breath-taking view of the gorgeous Ozark Mountains on one side and a view of our beautiful event field on the other.
The drive itself feeds into our large parking area, from which visitors then enter our main Gift Shop/Reception area – a large converted barn, newly redecorated inside and out and having a large selection of gift items for all ages.
Our staff checks visitors in, briefly explains our mission, and directs guests to our main compound area where they will be treated to an up-close view of a variety of our beautiful Big Cats and other animals.
Several tigers, and our grizzly bear Bam Bam, in addition to several other species, are in the main compound area where visitors are as close as five feet away from these magnificent creatures. Each animal has its story/history plaque on the front of its cage for this self-guided tour, with visitors taking as long as they like to enjoy ‘meeting’ them.
Picnic tables and benches are in full view of the animals, making Turpentine Creek a fun adventure for individuals, couples, and families alike.
