Griffin Leggett Forest Hills

Head to a state-wide party and have some fun at the Arkansas State Fair. The festival has it all - food, drinks, music, carnival rides, a livestock show, professional bull riding, a beauty pageant, dozens of contests, shopping, shows and more. Plan to spend a couple of days visiting the fair, because you just can't experience it all in one day.

Take the kids to monkey around with the animals at the Little Rock Zoo. The zoo is home to over 725 animals, living in habitats that mimic their natural environments. Giraffes, gorillas, rhinos, alligators, flamingos, bears, elephants, bobcats, tigers, lemurs, and zebras are just a few of the animals you'll see throughout the zoo. While you're traveling through the zoo's exhibits and attractions, take a ride on the train or stop to play at the park for even more fun.

Explore one of the oldest neighborhoods in Little Rock, Quapaw Quarter. Over 200 homes and buildings in the area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Check out Scott, Center and Spring streets, where you'll see dozens of homes from the Antebellum and Victorian eras.
