HOODZ of Central Arkansas

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.

Down drinks and shots while listening to the talented musicians play your favorite songs at Ernie Biggs Dueling Piano Bar. You can't help but sing along to the hits and you never know what they'll play next - unless you requested it, of course. The nightlife venue claims the talent can play any song from any decade, so put them to the test by making a request tonight.

See a performance by the state's largest non-profit theater organization, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre. The Rep has staged productions of famous plays and stories like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Hello Dolly!, Hairspray, The King & I, Steel Magnolias, Much Ado About Nothing, A Chorus Line, and My Fair Lady, among many others.

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.
