Arkansas Weekend Getaway: Things To Do in Hot Springs with Family

Looking to take a trip to Hot Springs? There are so many things to do in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We spent a 3-4 day weekend riding a boat on Lake Hamilton, touring downtown Hot Springs and Bathhouse Row, exploring Garvan Gardens (including a treehouse and Anthony Chapel), doing fun family activities and attractions, staying in a cabin, and kayaking on the river! It was a fun weekend getaway from Dallas with kids!

The best guide for Hotsprings Arkansas. Loved it. Much appreciated for sharing this with us.

[@tattertot06]

I loved watching your video. I've been a resident in Hot Springs for 10 years now. It was great to see ALL of Hot Srpings showcased and not just the downtown area. It was great watching you all enjoy the city.

[@startinajackson606]

This was such a beautiful heartwarming family video of a beautiful state. The kids was so precious and sweet faced and the husband and wife. What a love they have for one another. I want to go to Arkansas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@barbaratalley6979]

Lived here my whole life. If you come back try David's Burger. One of my sisters used to have a restaurant across from the T Rex. It was called Hester's Restaurant. Also worked for her, until they had to close. Use to work at Granny's Kitchen downtown.

[@bobcoleman8888]

Enjoyed seeing the sights as well as this sweet family. Well done video.

[@cbarnes9808]

I was born and live in Hot Springs. I live on Lake Hamilton and where you went out on the boat that resort was my first job. I also worked with your guide. I now work as a massage therapist downtown at Thai-Me Spa and have worked at Quapaw and the Buckstaff. If you get a chance to come back at the Superior Bathhouse they make the best Root Beer Float. The Pancake Shop is so good for breakfast. I'm glad yall enjoyed your time in our city and welcome yall back anytime. Bye.
