Tour the Arkansas State Capitol and get a closer look at the state's history and government operations. The beautiful building is almost 100 years old and features portraits and bronze busts of past governors, murals, the official state seal, and an exquisite cupola covered in 24-karat gold, among other attractions and facets of interest. While visiting the capitol, be sure to walk the grounds around the building. The land surrounding the capitol holds various memorial statues and figures, along with flourishing gardens.
Brave the waves in the wave pool, shoot through water slides, and bum around in the lazy river at Wild River Country water park. The state's largest water park offers 12 rides and attractions, meaning there are plenty of opportunities for adults and children to make a splash. If you're worn out and water logged, play a family game of volleyball on the sand court to dry off.
Visit the Arkansas Arts Center to see exhibits that showcase some extraordinary art pieces. Ongoing and traveling exhibitions feature works by renown artists like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, Diego Rivera, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Paintings, sculpture, photography, and drawings are just a few of the art medias you'll see at the arts center.
