Take a walk, run, or bike ride down the Arkansas River Trail - or at least part of it. The recreation trail stretches over eleven miles but isn't quite finished yet, when completed it will cover a total of 24 miles. If you decide to brave the whole trail, you'll be walking from downtown Little Rock, to Pinnacle Mountain State Park, from North Little Rock to Cook's Landing, and eventually across Murray Lock and Dam to the Presidential Library. That's a lot of ground to cover, be sure to wear some comfy shoes!
Show the kids that learning can be fun at the Museum of Discovery. Exhibits are geared toward the subjects of science, math, and technology. Bug Zoo, Energy!, Imagination Station, Worlds of the Forest, and Room to Grow are just a few of the interactive exhibits that encourage learning through fun. Recent renovations are bringing even more exhibits and attractions to the museum in January 2012.
Party from dusk until dawn at the Electric Cowboy. The bar offers nightly drink specials so even ballers on a budget can get their drink on while dancing the night away. Get ready to boogie to the best in Top 40, hip-hop, pop, rock, and country - it won't take long for you to make the Electric Cowboy your weekend nightlife spot.
