Take a walk, run, or bike ride down the Arkansas River Trail - or at least part of it. The recreation trail stretches over eleven miles but isn't quite finished yet, when completed it will cover a total of 24 miles. If you decide to brave the whole trail, you'll be walking from downtown Little Rock, to Pinnacle Mountain State Park, from North Little Rock to Cook's Landing, and eventually across Murray Lock and Dam to the Presidential Library. That's a lot of ground to cover, be sure to wear some comfy shoes!
Develop your green thumb with skills learned from the professionals you'll meet at the Arkansas Flower & Garden Show. Over 100 landscaping and gardening vendors participate in the event, offering "how to" advice, tips for gardening, plants and yard décor to beautify your backyard, and more. You'll leave this festival a more knowledgeable horticulturist, with some loot to make your garden look good.
Enjoy a delicious dinner and live entertainment at Murry's Dinner Playhouse. If you look at the events calendar, you'll see shows like Oklahoma!, Room Service, Everybody Loves Opal, The Music Man, Purlie, and The Mousetrap. Bring your appetite - the dinner is served all-you-can-eat buffet style.
Spend some time hanging out and exploring the attractions at Riverfront Park. The 33-acre park sits along on the south bank of the Arkansas River and is home to a number of sculptures, gardens, state historical information, the Junction Bridge landmark, and much more. There's plenty to see and do as a family at this park, we recommend you set aside a day or two to really experience it.
