Before wildlife refuges, cat fanciers would often resort to feeding housecats dangerously rich diets of pizza puffs and Miracle Grow to fatten the felines to leonine proportions. Get an up-close-and-personal look at genuinely big cats with today’s Groupon to Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge. Choose one of the following options:
- $18 for a one-year individual membership (a $36 value)
- $28 for a one-year family membership (a $56 value)
Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge is home to more than 40 rescued tigers, cougars, leopards, lions, and pumas. The refuge is currently celebrating its 15th year of feline fostering, and the expansive facility—with its waterfalls, re-created habitats, and exercise yards—provides a perfect play or sulking area for the beauteous beasts. Membership includes free admission to the park for a whole year (plus one guest with individual membership), a membership card, a 10% discount at the park’s shop, a subscription to the refuge’s quarterly newsletter, and a cuddly saber-toothed tiger clone to take home as your family’s new pet. Cats at the park are safely tucked behind two layers of fence, so walkers can wander the park free of fear of the giant brooding Heathcliffs. Most of the Tiger Creek cats are victims of abuse, neglect, or displacement; thanks to the refuge's benevolent founders, they are now able to flourish, while reaping the barbecue-rich benefits of their adopted Texas homeland. A membership to Tiger Creek is both an opportunity to educate and enrich youngsters while supporting a good cause. Visit the information page for park hours and blackout dates.

About Tiger Creek Safari Resort
Originally founded by the Werner family in 1995 as Tiger Missing Link Foundation, this Ohio non-profit corporation received its official charter in April of 1996. Their purpose? To document tigers in captivity outside of accredited zoos. As the exotic market boomed in the late '80s and '90s, Werner noticed that many big cats were being abused, abandoned, or displaced. Seeing this, Brian Werner and his family decided to start Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge (Tiger Creek) in 1997, fueled by the compassion for those beautiful animals. Though originally limited to mere 25 acres, Tiger Creek has been building new habitats and expanding to exceed industry standards since then. In efforts to expand its services, Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge was rebranded as Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary in 2017 and now serves under the National Foundation for Rescued Animals.
The refuge aims to raise visitors' awareness of the plight of large cats in the wild, and it plans to expand to add more natural habitats and observatories. Landscapers have even built a waterfall habitat where the tigers can exercise while trying not to puncture their plastic inner tubes.
