Attic to Art

Visit the Arkansas Arts Center to see exhibits that showcase some extraordinary art pieces. Ongoing and traveling exhibitions feature works by renown artists like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, Diego Rivera, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Paintings, sculpture, photography, and drawings are just a few of the art medias you'll see at the arts center.

Plan an overnight escape at the "#4 most romantic" bed and breakfast in America, The Empress of Little Rock. The beautifully restored couple's oasis boasts modern accommodations in a classic setting, with rooms equipped with fireplaces, jacuzzis, hydrotherapy massage jet showers, an aromatherapy steam sauna, luxury robes and plush feather beds. You won't want to leave after a night here.

Brave the waves in the wave pool, shoot through water slides, and bum around in the lazy river at Wild River Country water park. The state's largest water park offers 12 rides and attractions, meaning there are plenty of opportunities for adults and children to make a splash. If you're worn out and water logged, play a family game of volleyball on the sand court to dry off.

Eat, drink and experience nightlife Louisiana style at Cajun's Wharf. The restaurant and bar features live entertainment nightly, drink specials like Wine Down Wednesday and the Big Swinging Deck Party, and some serious Southern cuisine. We recommend the fried green tomatoes, crab legs, lobster tail, pasta Orleans, surf and turf, seafood gumbo, and shrimp and crawfish etoufee.
