Little Rock
Little Rock has many attraction and city parks within a close distance. Here are some of the attractions and the best parks in and around Little Rock (the farthest is Pinnacle and that’s only about 30 minutes away).
The Little Rock Zoo: There’s nothing like the zoo to help kids work of some of their extra Spring Break energy!
The Purple Cow: Yummy! Nothing says Spring Break more than enourmous milkshakes, burgers and fries! The Purple Cow has the best of each!
City Parks: Any of these parks will be fun for kids to visit and play. Take a group one day and let the parents have a day off! Be sure you arrange “payback.” They can take the kids tomorrow!
Children’s Museums: The Imax, Musuem of Discovery and Little Rock Children’s Museum are great places for kids to have fun (and maybe learn something). I highly recommend the Museum of Discovery! Kids can play there for hours!
Take In A Movie: Outdoors is more fun, but there are great family movies playing! Perhaps a day with the kids at the theater is worth checking out!

Buffalo River
The Buffalo River is one of the few remaining unpolluted, free-flowing rivers in the lower 48 states offering both swift-running and placid stretches. The Buffalo River gets its start in national forest country, nearly within rock-throwing distance of the highest point in the Ozarks. Some floating takes place in the headwaters area (the "Hailstone'' trip from Dixon Road to Arkansas 21 is almost legendary among serious paddlers), but, for most, this is a good place to put on the hiking boots.
