Fun Free Things To Do In Little Rock Arkansas

Fun Things To Do In Little Rock Arkansas
I know when you think of cool places to visit Little Rock may not be the first place that comes to mind but honestly if you live anywhere in the area or are an outdoor enthusiast it should be.
Little Rock, Arkansas sits on the banks of the Arkansas River located in the center of the state. And with a population of nearly 200,000 people, it's the largest city in Arkansas and definitely the place to find a good time at a great value.
Go actually find the “Little rock” little rock is named after. This can be found in La Petite Roche Plaza in Riverfront Park on the Arkansas River. Such a great place for kids to explore with a park that incorporates its surroundings into the playground and sights that will put a smile on everyone's face. (Free)
The arts flourish in Little Rock, Arkansas with the gallery at the Arkansas Arts Center, offering free admission and housing one of the most-acclaimed collections of works on paper in the country. (Free)
The Big Dam Bridge spans the Arkansas River and Murray Lock and Dam between Little Rock and North Little Rock and is open only to pedestrian and bicycle traffic, which is awesome if you love getting away from traffic like we do.. At 4,226 feet in length it is the longest pedestrian/bicycle bridge in North America that has never been used by trains or motor vehicles. (Free)
MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History. Located in the historic Tower Building of the Little Rock Arsenal--the birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur--the museum preserves the contributions of Arkansas men and women who served in the armed forces. Exhibits feature artifacts, photographs, weapons, documents, uniforms and other military items that vividly portray Arkansas's military history at home and abroad. (Free)
Museum of Discovery, not free, Adults $10, children $8. The museum has many fun, hands-on exhibits with a focus on STEM learning. They have the one of the world's largest bi-polar Tesla coils, a "tornado ally" experience and hands-on looks at geology, anatomy, and math. It's a great museum for kids and adults. We had one extremely rainy day in Little Rock so we were very grateful for the museum of discovery at that time.
Pinnacle Mountain is also supposed to be an pretty neat experience but on our personal trip we opted for the Big Dam Bridge instead due to wanting to drive less and children’s nap times.
Thank you so much for watching. Make sure to subscribe. I hope you enjoyed our adventure. Now go out there and make your own!

[@BoulderWraith]

Arkansas has a suprising amount of great places to visit and I'm kinda sad that the state isnt geyting much attention

[@ericbell9373]

I’m from Jackson, Mississippi. I thought we had more to offer than Little Rock. I thought wrong. Great Video

[@ignatiusl.7478]

So basically after your first day you had better be an outdoors enthusiast. I live in the Central Valley of CA. Two hours from everything and I would still rather move to Arkansas. It really looks like a peaceful place.

[@whosrecording5157]

I volunteer at the Arkansas military museum from time to time, thanks for mentioning the museum!

My ex's sister lives in Little Rock. Back when we we're together and our son didn't have to go to school we would drive up there and stay a week or 2 at a time if work permitted it. One night her sister said "let's go to the BIG DAM BRIDGE" I had never heard of it before so I was like "why are you cursing about it"? She said "that's the name of the bridge" so we go and my son was about 2 or 3 at the time. We had a blast, plus my son loved the neon lights at night. Thanks for the video.

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

That is a cute story about your experience in Little Rock. I have never seen at night but that sounds worth experiencing. Thank you for watching:) We really do appreciate it

[@stevensbirds4455]

Awesome video thank you

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

Thank you for watching!

[@suzetteroberts9072]

thanks for the info on LR. Just courouis ... ur from the west and we dont have large rivers?? Hum... the Columbia River in WA and OR is a huge river. The Rogue River in Oregon has rapids that are not for the faint of heart. The Sacramento River , in CA is a good size and my beloved Colorado River, in AZ is a desert beauty. There are so many more; Feather River, Klammath River, Trinity River...

[@derrickernest4104]

We will be headed to Little Rock on Msrch 12th. We will definitely tour these attractions. Thanks for the tips

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

Hope your trip was amazing!

@@TravelingOnaShoestring It was a great trip. Definitely going back in the fall

[@scholarlyanalyst7700]

@@TravelingOnaShoestring Copy/paste the following google searches (using Google’s search engine!)…1. Little Rock average winter temps 2. Race Rocks, Canada average winter temps. Average the day AND NIGHT temps in Dec, Jan, and Feb. Are you surprised Race Rocks, Canada historically enjoys warmer winters than Little Rock? - source: NOAA (US Government). The BIGGEST difference is January night average!

Pinnacle Mountain is NOT a leisure hike. It is very steep, rocky, and strenuous.

[@Foreignwrists]

Im from the West too 😎

[@Krobler]

I’m pretty sure that pond at the end of the video is from Cabot.

[@southforthewinter257]

It feels so weird to see all those places bc I live in Little Rock and see them all the time

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

That is cool. It's a great little town. We have some family there

[@jerinbrowder2468]

Is it fun or boring

[@salahad-din3907]

jerin browder For me it is boring af... I can’t wait to leave, but it has some good things.

[@jerinbrowder2468]

@@salahad-din3907 lol tell me about it... I'm saving up just to come visit

[@salahad-din3907]

jerin browder it’s a cheap nice little place. Nothing else... might be heaven for someone who enjoys the outdoors, but that’s not my case.

[@FaZe-cross]

Enjoy another sickening weekend Arkansas just like you like it

[@nickburton100]

What is public transportation like. I want to visit Huntsville- mum lived there in the late 1940s.

[@jerinbrowder2468]

If you live in/been to little rock, do you think it's an affordable place you live?

[@brerrabbit9668]

Very affordable,very friendly, and lots of great job opportunities

[@skrdykatjunior6125]

I came here planning to stay a year at most, that was 20 years ago! It is definitely the cheap rents and living expenses.

[@jerinbrowder2468]

Thank yall... I'm trynna leave Houston... Too butch flooding

Who else went to Little Rock and did all these things?

[@FaZe-cross]

I cry every single day in this more than messed up crap and then some.

U people are

[@businessweasel9425]

You forgot 'get mugged by the river'

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

Guess we missed that one.

[@businessweasel9425]

@@TravelingOnaShoestring on a more realistic note, Maumelle Park is a short drive from Pinnacle Mountain, there is also the Heights District, the River Front Farmers Market, the AGFC (Arkansas Game and Fish Commission) has an aquarium in their headquarters in Downtown. Technically this is in North Little Rock, but Burns Park is pretty big, has a lot of trails, fishing, motocross, soccer, football and baseball fields

[@oldmanriverrimington3442]

That was stupid. I'm from Benton. Go to Hot Springs.
