  The Alligator Farm was started because of the need for some type of tourist attraction due to the great influx of people who at this time came to take the Hot Thermal Baths,and there were no attractions other than the natural resources. The reasoning behind the origination of the Alligator Farm was due to the fact that the alligators are native and are found in South Arkansas between Hope and Texarkana in an area known as Grassy Lake.

  The Little Rock Zoo has long been one of Arkansas' great treasures. It all began modestly in 1926, with just two animals -- an abandoned timber wolf and a circus-trained brown bear. Today, the Zoo has grown to include more than 725 animals representing 200+ species, many on the endangered list. The Zoo itself, has become one of the state's greatest educational and conservation resources. Many exotic worlds are yours to explore at the Little Rock Zoo. Experience the majesty of elephants and rhinos. Stick your neck out at the Giraffe exhibit. Marvel at the strength and beauty of lions, tigers and jaguars in our Big Cat Habitat. Monkey around at Spider Monkey or Lemur Islands. Or slither around to the Reptile House to go face-to-fang with a deadly reptile. And don't forget to check-out the all new Lorikeet Landing exhibit where you can feed these beautiful birds nectar! If you need a break from the action, stop by Cafe Africa for a bite to eat or take a relaxing and scenic ride on the Civitan train. Before you leave, stop by the Safari Trader Gift Shop, where you can find all sorts of ZOOVENIRS to remind you of your visit. Whenever you visit, chances are you'll see something new and exciting. We look forward to seeing you at the Little Rock Zoo. (less) ... Read more

  Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary was established by Scott and Heidi Riddle in 1990 on 330 acres in the Ozark Mountain foothills in Arkansas as a non-profit home for elephants needing one for any reason. This is the only internationally recognized sanctuary that accepts any elephant regardless of species, gender, or disposition. This Arkansas elephant sanctuary currently houses Asian elephants and African elephants, and both males and females. Elephant care and elephant management are taught at this elephant haven in the peaceful Arkansas countryside. Programs include Elephant Experience Weekends and an annual International School for Elephant Management. Major goals of the sanctuary include the care of the resident elephant herd, but also elephant conservation in general, helping to ensure the long-term survival of these magnificent and highly endangered species. Visit our site to learn how you can help elephants or to "adopt" an elephant! (less) ... Read more

  Big Cat Rescue and Sanctuary

     Turpentine Creek's goal is for every visitor to learn more about the plight of big cats in the U.S. A visit to our Education Station will ensure everyone leaves with a better understanding of the refuge's mission. Many visual displays outline the physiology of big cats. Our "Touch and Feel" center lets you get hands on with cat fur, whiskers, toys, and more. A medical display educates you on several common ailments the refuge encounters -- from ingrown claws to abscessed teeth. On display are an actual tiger claw and cougar canine (removed for medical purposes). Browse through our "In the News" section as you watch our official TCWR video. A trip to the Education Station completes your experience at one of the largest big cat refuges in the world. (less) ... Read more
