Like so many others in NW Arkansas, we love the Gentry Safari, otherwise known as the drive-thru zoo. It really is pretty cool. And for a mom who can see the beauty in an air conditioned activity in which all 4 kids are strapped into their seats, I say "Let's drive through the zoo!" It is so cool to have various animals walk up to your car and stare at you. This momma baboon was so sweet with her baby. It was my favorite part this time. She would snuggle her baby and was cradling it right up to her body. I could see she was very protective and didn't really appreciate us staring at her little one. She gave me a look and finally turned her back to us.
The ostriches are awesome. They are not at all afraid to get right up to the car. This one was pecking on the window and my kids we squealing with excitement.
This camel is lookin for love.
After the drive, there are several places to pet the animals. The kids love the goats. They are fat and sassy. This year they also had horse rides, snakes to hold, water buffalo rides, pot-belly pigs and kangaroos with joeys. Kind of red neck, but very fun.

We are so glad that someone told us about the Gentry Safari shortly after we moved there. We loved it!
