You have got to go. They even have places on site to spend the night. They do a lot of great work saving big cats and other animals. If you do one thing while visiting the area, you MUST DO THIS!!! Full review by Marc_and_Kim_Z

Hello, my granddaughter and I will be staying in the Bengal Suite soon, and I wondered what animals can you see from that suite's porch? Thanks for your input.
A:
From the Bengal porch you see Flip our Coati, Fergy a liger & Pharoah a lion.. OR Savannah a lioness, then to the left of the rooms is Montana and Poncho, two orange tigers.
I read a tip from a previous guest that recommended the "Photography Opportunity". I also saw this on your web page, but I couldn't get it to open up to the page. Could you provide more information about this Opportunity? Thank you, Future 1st time guest!

The Photowild tours have been discontinued which is why you weren't able to open the link on our website. We're hoping to offer another similar opportunity after the New Year. Check back with us then for more details.
Not from inside the suite but you can see them from the porch. We hope you come and stay with us and see our big, beautiful cats! let us know if you have any other questions.

It would be an amazing adventure for your 9 yo. Rooms run $150/night based on double occupancy, $20 per person per night extra. Admission into the refuge is included in the cost of your lodging with guided walking tours daily, every hour on the hour from 10am-4pm. If you didn't want to walk, we offer guided trolley tours that run every hour on the half hour, 10:30-3:30. The refuge is open from 9am-6pm and you're free to walk the property at your leisure. A light complimentary breakfast is kept in your refrigerator for the mornings you're with us. We don't have any dining facility on site so you'd need to go into Eureka Springs (7 miles from the refuge) for lunch/dinner. We currently do not have Wi-Fi on site, just so you're aware. Our Siberian and Bengal suites sleep 4 comfortably and family friendly for kids of all ages. Our Tree House sleeps up to 4 but children must be 5 yo to stay. The "safari" promotion would not work for you simply because it's for our Safari Lodges that are adult only, 18+yo, due to liability reasons with the hot tub. Please let us know if we can help book your stay! We look forward to seeing you!
