Take the kids back to the days of the skating rink at the Arkansas Skatium. Head out on Friday or Sunday night to hear music hits from when you were young, both nights the DJ spins oldies, disco, 80s and everything in between. Don't worry about buying skates, you can rent a pair there - all you need to bring are your skating skills.
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.
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.
