Everyone Will Love Cuddling With Goats at Arkansas Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo in Hot Springs
Known for its natural hot thermal baths, Hot Springs attracts thousands of visitors looking for a relaxing getaway each year. But some may want to experience something different, something a little out of the ordinary. That is why a visit to Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo would be an ideal place to go. One would never guess that an alligator farm would also house such cuddly creatures like goats and sheep, but it does (and visitors can even hold and feed baby alligators!)
Founded in 1902 by a Mr. H.L. Campbell, the Arkansas Alligator Farm and Museum was then sold to Mr. Danny S. Older.
The business was then sold once more in 1965 to Mr. Jack Bridges, Jr. and his late wife who added turtles, monkeys, raccoons, and a gift shop. This attraction remains in the family today.
