Sponsored: Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

In the Ozark Mountains on 459 acres and home to a variety of exotic and native animals, Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) is one of the nation's most respected and unique big cat sanctuaries. As an ethical animal tourism destination accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, this nonprofit is a “top three” family-friendly Northwest Arkansas attraction and one of the most popular in Eureka Springs.

The organization's unwavering commitment to compassionate animal care has been featured in Arkansas Living, About You magazine and other publications, and the nonprofit has generated positive national attention, including a feature via the Travel Channel series Hotel Impossible.
