3 days in Hot Springs Itinerary

Set deep in the Ouachita Mountains, the city of Hot Springs almost completely surrounds the national park of the same name.

Appreciate the collections at Mid-America Science Museum and Artists' Workshop Gallery. Family-friendly places like Crater of Diamonds State Park and The Galaxy Connection will thrill your kids. Take a break from Hot Springs with a short trip to Albert Pike Recreation Area in Langley, about 1h 20 min away. The adventure continues: soothe aching muscles at some of the top local wellness centers, stop by Bathhouse Soapery, look for all kinds of wild species at Arkansas Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo, and make a trip to Arkansas Walk of Fame.
