Turpentine Creek

Today we visited Turpentine Creek Wildcat Reserve for the first time. I've heard it's the largest big-cat rescue in the country. They had lots of animals on display in the compound and overall we had a good time. They also have a couple of playground areas for the kids, which are helpful when the little ones need a break. Aside from the big cats, they also rescue bears, monkeys, goats, llamas, birds, and badgers.

Normally, they charge $15 for adults and $10 for kids, but if you live and work in Eureka Springs, you get in free. Of course, donations are always appreciated and are going to a very good cause. These people obviously care tremendously for these animals and want to help every single one live out their lives in comfort.
