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.
Bruce Springsteen, the Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Britney Spears, Elton John, Aerosmith, Prince, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, Metallica, Rod Stewart, Van Halen, Bob Seger and James Taylor all have two things in common - they are some of the biggest names in the music business, and they have all graced the stage at the Verizon Arena. Keep your eye on the schedule for the next big performer to rock the entertainment venue.
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.
