Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari

Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari is a drive-through animal park in Gentry, Arkansas. The drive through section is nicely done and has a wide variety of hoofed animals, including several species of antelope, zebra, camels, rhino and more. From the drive, you'll also see bears, tigers, some primates and a few emu. Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari even has a hippo and prairie dogs that you can see on the drive-through if you look closely enough. Some of the animals are in enclosures, but most roam freely inside the park.

The park also has a petting area which houses goat, pigs, a tortoise and some kangaroo.

Where Is It?

Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari is located in Gentry, in Northwest Arkansas, Google Map . Gentry is right outside of Fayetteville and almost a four hour drive from Little Rock.

Contact, Admission and Hours

The recommended hours to visit are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Check their website where you can see the animal species they currently display and find out more information about the park.

Close Encounters With Animals

Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari sometimes allows close encounters with exotic animals. Previously, they've had a baby Capuchin monkey, a snake and a lemur available for interaction. Others report different animal interactions on their visit, so they have a variety of animals available to meet the public.

Food is available for purchase and is supposed to be fed only to the petting zoo animals, and not to the wildlife on the drive-through. You are also supposed to keep your windows up through the drive-through.

Petting zoo animals, even kangaroos, will come right up to you, especially if you have food. So, even if a special encounter animal isn't available you can still get a close encounter with an animal.

Overall Review

This is a nicely done park. The hoofstock part of the drive-through encounter is excellent. It feels more like Fossil Rim, a similar, accredited zoo in Tyler, TX, than the older roadside drive-through parks that only had an old horse and a llama. This park really does feel like you're driving through the wilderness. It gets the drive through safari right.

The petting zoo is also nicely done. Most of the animals are friendly and will gladly take the food you offer them (or your map to the drive-park if you're not looking). It has got to be the only place in Arkansas to get a close-up interaction with a kangaroo. Kids will get their money's worth just playing with the petting zoo animals.

The other areas, especially primates and encounter animals, do need improvement. They are a family run operation and funds are limited. They have minimal staff. They do seem to want to do what is best for the animals, while providing a fun park for families. They really seemed proud to offer a one-of-a-kind experience at the park.

That being said, if I were to visit again, I would just do the drive through and petting zoo and skip walking around the rest of the park. They really don't need the primates or animal encounters to be a fun family experience.

Nearby Attractions

Northwest Arkansas has lots to do. Not too far from Wild Wilderness Safari is Fayetteville, Bentonville and Rogers. Fayetteville is the home of the Razorbacks, the Walton Arts Center and the Arkansas Air Museum. Also close is Rogers, the home of Crystal Bridges Museum, and Bentonville, the home of the Wal-Mart Museum .

The only accredited zoo in the state of Arkansas is the Little Rock Zoo , though Tulsa Zoo is closer to Gentry than Little Rock. Other animal attractions in the state of Arkansas include the Arkansas Alligator Farm in Hot Springs.

24 Best Things To Do In Memphis, Tennessee

Blues, barbecue, and so much more. Here's where to eat, drink, stay, and play in Memphis.

Memphis, Tennessee, is a city known as the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll and home of the blues. It’s known worldwide for its barbecue , but there is so much more to explore in the Bluff City. Memphis has a vibrant food scene that, yes, includes some of the best barbecue you’ll find, but there is also so much more to devour beyond the pit. 

Steeped in history, Memphis is home to several world-renowned museums and landmarks that make it the perfect place for an enlightening and educational trip. It’s also a city that is robust in culture. Whether it's a night on Beale Street or just about any other venue, bar, or restaurant around town, you can’t walk three feet without hearing incredible live music . You can hear the blues, rock, country, and just about anything in between in Memphis. Beyond music, Memphis also has a booming theater scene. National tours are regularly performing at the Orpheum, but the locals can also put on quite a show so we urge you to check those out as well. 

Memphians have a deep love for basketball and whether you attend a Tigers or a Grizzlies game while you’re in town, you’re bound to have an exciting night. But the city also boasts professional baseball, soccer, and football teams. 

"“Memphis is truly exploding with arts and culture, even in its pride for its sports teams. Memphians are passionate and unapologetic and we thrive in creation. We as Memphians ‘don’t bluff’ - and as they say, we always have one toe dipped in the mud of the Mississippi while the other hand is swinging our pearls.” — Courtney Oliver, Director of Special Events and Auditions at Playhouse on the Square ."

There is truly something for everyone in Memphis. Here are the best things to do on your next trip to the Bluff City.

Where To Stay

Downtown digs.

Want to stay downtown in the middle of all the action? There are plenty of options for that. First, The Peabody Hotel is a classic for a reason. The gorgeous, historic hotel first opened in 1869 and is referred to as “the South’s Grand Hotel.” Nestled right in the heart of downtown, you can easily walk to Beale St., Orpheum Theatre, Fed-Ex Forum, and more. It’s also the home of the world-famous Peabody Ducks who march twice daily through the lobby.

For other options downtown, the Hyatt Centric Beale Memphis is the only hotel located on the world-famous Beale Street. The property is home to rooftop whiskey bar and lounge, Beck & Call, which offers incredible views of the Mighty Mississippi River from nearly every angle. Before Central Station was a hotel, the train station opened in 1914, serving as the main hub for all arrivals and departures from the city. Now, it has 123 guest rooms and 9 suites, a cocktail bar called Eight & Sand, and the Amtrak train still takes visitors to/from Memphis to New Orleans and Chicago.

Immerse Yourself In Art In Overton Square

Located in Midtown Memphis, The Memphian Hotel is nestled in the vibrant, art-forward Overton Square neighborhood. Here you'll be immersed in where the locals hang out. You are within walking distance of live theater, independent film, funky retail, the home of Ballet Memphis, and a plethora of restaurants and bars. The hotel itself is home to Midtown’s only rooftop bar, Tiger and Peacock.

thememphian.com , 21 S Cooper Street Memphis, TN 38104

Where The Location Is A Destination

Looking for your hotel to be a destination in itself? If you have come to town because you are the world’s biggest Elvis fan, then why not stay right next door to Graceland? The Guest House at Graceland is the ideal spot for the ultimate music lover’s trip to visit the house of the King of Rock & Roll. With Priscilla’s guidance, the hotel’s design is a mix of Southern hospitality and luxurious amenities of which Elvis himself would approve. If you’re seeking something a little more rustic and adventurous, check out  Big Cypress Lodge at Bass Pro Shop located inside the iconic Memphis Pyramid. Yes, that is correct, it’s a hotel inside a Bass Pro Shop, inside the Memphis Pyramid. It is a sight to see. Some rooms are designed like treehouses, some are like a hunting lodge. It will be a unique experience, as is the Bass Pro Shop itself.

Memphis BBQ

Of course, you cannot come to Memphis without getting barbecue. But if you ask five locals where to go for the best in town, you will get five different answers. For a jumping-off point, check out the three Memphis restaurants on The South’s Top 50 Barbecue Joints of 2023 : Charlie Vergo’s Rendezvous , Cozy Corner , and A&R Bar-B-Que . These are all classics but we would also add Corky’s and a relative newcomer to the Memphis barbecue world, Elwood’s Shack –try the brisket pizza.

Beyond The Barbecue Pit

Memphis has an abundance of riches when it comes to excellent restaurants . There are options to please every palate and for every kind of diner–from the fine dining experience to the casual hang out and everything in between.

Memphis Classics

Memphis has many legacy restaurants. These are the places that locals frequent for weekly meals or special occasions. They are a part of the story of the people of Memphis and there are far too many to name; but, we have picked out just a few. Folk’s Folly is one of those special occasion favorites. On any given night you will see a group gathered over delicious steaks to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary. Coletta’s is one of the city’s oldest restaurants having just celebrated 100 years in 2023. The family-owned and run Italian eatery was also one of Elvis’s favorite spots. He loved their signature dish, BBQ pizza, which, per the Commercial Appeal , the Coletta family invented. The Four Way has been serving up soul food since 1946 and once served as an unofficial meeting place for local leaders of the Civil Rights movement. And yes, even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dined at The Four Way. 

Of course, you’ll need dessert and while all of these places will have delicious options on their menus, there is one spot in Memphis worth a separate trip. Gibson’s Donuts has been serving delicious doughnuts since 1967 and it has become a favorite of locals and visitors alike. In fact not only did Alton Brown once say , “I’ve got to say, Memphis, Tennessee: probably my number one food town in the U.S.,” he also declared that Gibson’s “makes not just the best doughnut in the United States but, as far as I’m concerned, if all the other doughnuts went away and I still had Gibson’s, I’d be okay.”

Modern Memphis Meals

In addition to the many historic restaurants around town, the Memphis food scene continues to grow and is abundant in newer options in a variety of cuisines. While these spots may not have decades-long customers–yet, they have quickly become can’t miss meals. South of Beale, or S.O.B. is situated right in the middle of the action downton on South Main Street. You can make a night of it having dinner at S.O.B. and then head out on Beale or to a show at the Orpheum. The menu offers something for everyone including those in your party who may be gluten free or vegetarian. The Duck Fried Rice and General Tso’s Cauliflower are fan favorites but we think they have the best burger in town.

Global Cafe is an international food hall where immigrant and refugee food entrepreneurs serve up meals from their respective home countries’ cuisine. You can take a culinary journey around the world all under the same roof. It’s located in Crosstown Concourse which is a revitalized mixed-use building that was originally a Sears retail store in 1927. The Lobbyist is a new modern restaurant downtown in the historic Chisca building. Chef Jimmy Gentry is behind the concept that focuses on natural and local ingredients to bring out extraordinary flavors. Menus change to reflect seasonality of produce and availability local meats.

Grab A Drink

Memphis has plenty of locations for libations, if that tickles your fancy. For beer lovers, check out Memphis-made Wiseacre Brewing Co. owned by brothers Davin and Kellan Bartosch. As stated on their website, the brothers founded Wiseacre to “deliver the crunkest brewery possible in their groovy hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.” The original taproom is located amongst several other great spots along Broad Ave.

If craft cocktails are more your speed, head to the trendy Cooper Young neighborhood and check out Alchemy . The cool atmosphere, great cocktails, and equally delicious small plates make this spot perfect for date nights or girls' nights.

If you’re looking for a great dive bar, well Memphis has maybe the best. Earnistine & Hazel’s is the stuff of legends, and oh, did we mention it’s said to be haunted? You can enjoy your adult beverage while tunes play from the jukebox and if you get hungry, you can grab one of their famous Soul Burgers. This spot is a true Memphis institution.

An Interactive History Lesson

The national civil rights museum.

The National Civil Rights Museum is located at the former Lorraine Motel, the site of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968. The museum opened in 1991, and it utilizes the location, interactive exhibits, and collections of historic artifacts to allow visitors to walk through the history of the Civil Rights movement. It’s an informative, impactful, and inspiring experience and should not be missed when you visit Memphis.

Of course, if you’re headed to Memphis, you are going to want to check out Graceland , the home of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Step inside Elvis Presley’s mansion and tour the living room, kitchen, the trophy room, and yes you will get to step foot in the Jungle Room. You can also pay your respects in the Meditation Garden where Elvis, his parents, Lisa Marie, and her son Benjamin Keough are all buried. Beyond the house itself, you can tour some of Elvis’ planes and there is a recently renovated museum that houses many of Presley’s cars, artifacts, and memorabilia from all over the world. 

graceland.com , 3764 Elvis Presley Blvd, Memphis, TN 38116

Tour Sun Studio and see for yourself where so many music legends like B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash all got their start under the guidance of Sam Phillips. This is the very spot that earned Memphis the title of “birthplace of rock ’n’ roll.” It’s not just a tourist attraction, Sun Studio is still an active studio that is open for recording business in the evenings after the tours conclude for the day. 

sunstudio.com , 706 Union Avenue, Memphis, TN 38103

Stax Museum Of American Soul Music

Much like Sun Studio tells the origin story of rock’n’roll , Stax Museum honors the roots of soul music that are also planted firmly in Memphis. The museum itself is in the original location of Stax Records where greats like Otis Redding, Rufus and Carla Thomas, and Isaac Hayes all recorded their music. 

staxmuseum.com , E. McLemore Avenue, Memphis, TN 38106

Rock & Soul Museum

Located right on Beale Street where live music floods the streets daily is the Rock & Soul Museum . This Smithsonian affiliate institution tells the complete and comprehensive story of Memphis music. Learn more about the music pioneers who came from Memphis and the surrounding areas who changed music forever. 

memphisrocknsoul.org , 191 Beale Street, Memphis, TN 38103

Celebrate The Arts

Memphis is a music city. On any given day or night you could stumble upon incredible talent that has yet to be discovered. You would be hard-pressed to find a bar, lounge, restaurant, or club that didn’t have a live band or musician playing on a weekend night. And on Beale Street, that is true seven days a week, day or night. It is the home of the blues, after all. A few spots we suggest are B.B. King’s and Rum Boogie Cafe. The music plays on well beyond Beale St. in Memphis. Some other notable spots around town where the locals go to hear some good tunes are LaFayette’s Music Room and Railgarten .

Catch a Show

Along with a love for live music, Memphis has a vibrant theater community. Downtown is home to the historic Orpheum Theatre , at the corner of Main and Beale. Originally built in 1890 as a Vaudeville playhouse, it was destroyed by fire in 1923 but was rebuilt and reopened five years later. Motion pictures replaced the Vaudeville shows but in the 1980’s, the Orpheum became the home for national touring companies of Broadway shows. 

In Midtown, Playhouse on the Square is the city’s professional regional theater that both brings in talent from all over the country as well as utilizes the homegrown talent in the casts of each of their shows. “Memphis is home to dozens of theatre, dance, and musical organizations and we at Playhouse are proud to have a 55-year stake in the heart of this artistic community.  Playhouse on the Square prides itself on producing something for everyone—from children’s theatre to Pulitzer Prize-winning new works, we love to reflect and honor the soul of our community,” says Courtney Oliver,  Director of Special Events and Auditions. 

In East Memphis, Theatre Memphis has been showcasing the best of local talent for over 100 years. If you plan a trip in December, you won’t want to miss their annual production of A Christmas Carol , a decades-long Memphis holiday tradition for the whole family.

Tom Lee Park

Tom Lee Park has undergone a massive renovation, with a new park design grounded and inspired by the dynamic ecological features of the Mississippi River. The renovation includes an open 20,000-square-foot Civic Canopy that offers a covered space for recreation and events as well as landscape improvements at Beale Street Landing. Tom Lee Park is the perfect place for runners, bikers, and walkers to go as it features a “quick travel” pathway along Riverside Drive.

How About The Sports Fans?

Memphis grizzlies.

Since the NBA came to Memphis in 2001, Memphians have become loyal, loud, proud Grizzlies fans. Attending a game at FedEx Forum is not going to be like any regular basketball game. The arena is dubbed The Grindhouse because several years ago a former player said Memphis was all “grit and grind.” As the team hustles on the court, fans erupt in chants like “we don’t bluff” while waving yellow growl towels above their heads. Win or lose, we promise you’ll have a great time at a Grizzlies game. 

fedexforum.com , 191 Beale Street, Memphis, TN 38103

Memphis Tigers Basketball

Memphis was a basketball city long before the Grizzlies arrived. It doesn’t matter if you attended the University of Memphis or not, Memphians are die-hard Memphis Tigers fans and they’ve been donning blue and gray and packing arenas for decades. Those who grew up watching Penny Hardaway play are now back with their kids as he coaches the Tigers. The Tigers also play in FedEx Forum so grab a ticket and join the fun. 

gotigersgo.com ,191 Beale Street, Memphis, TN 38103

Memphis901 FC

Basketball isn’t the only game in town. The popularity of soccer in America has skyrocketed, and in 2019, Memphis welcomed its own professional team. Memphis901 FC is in the USL Championship and the team has achieved three consecutive postseason appearances since 2021. This is a team on the rise. Grab a ticket and join Memphis901 FC Nation. 

memphis901fc.com , 200 Union Avenue, Memphis, TN 38103

Memphis Redbirds

For lovers of America’s national pastime, Memphis has that too. The Memphis Redbirds are a Triple-A affiliate team of the St. Louis Cardinals. They play in beautiful Autozone Park and games are a family-friendly affair. They even offer seats on the TrueGreen Bluff for as low as $5 with a perfect view of all of the action of the game. 

milb.com , 200 Union Avenue, Memphis, TN 38103

Children’s Museum of Memphis

The Children’s Museum of Memphis 's “go ahead and touch everything” approach makes this a dream destination for all of the kid visitors to the River City. In the Going Places exhibit, children learn about the science of flight and distribution by getting to sit in a real airplane cockpit and load packages on a FedEx conveyor belt. (FedEx is based out of Memphis.) In the Engine House 18 exhibit, youngsters can climb onto a fire engine and ring (pretend) sirens. The museum also has a Grand Carousel that was originally built in 1909. It has been beautifully restored for families to enjoy today. On warm days, the museum is also home to an outdoor splash pad, H2OH! Splash Park.
