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.
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.
Check the performance calendar at the Robinson Center to catch the next performance by the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, or a Broadway performance like Chicago or Les Miserables. Artists like Robert Plant, Merle Haggard, John Legend and Norah Jones have performed at the entertainment venue; as well as comedians like Bill Cosby, Rodney Carrington and Katt Williams - you never know when your favorite performer is going to take the stage at the Robinson Center Music Hall.
