After almost 100 years, the Little Rock Zoo is a true icon of the capital city. Over 400 animals call the Zoo home, many of which are threatened or endangered species. To fulfill its mission of inspiring people to value and conserve the natural world we all share, the Zoo provides educational, interactive and engaging experiences from the moment you step onto the grounds. The Zoo is also a great choice for families, giving people of all ages the opportunity to “travel the world” right here in Central Arkansas. The historic Over-The-Jumps Carousel and Arkansas Diamond Express train offer other perfect ways to keep the guests engaged. As a leader in conservation learning and the only facility in Arkansas accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Little Rock Zoo is committed to giving people and animals alike the best experience possible.

What started as an antiquities and curiosities museum in 1927 has evolved into Central Arkansas’ premier hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts and math museum. From toddlers to grandparents, Little Rock’s Museum of Discovery offers fun and educational experiences for people of all ages.

The Museum of Discovery’s calendar is full of exciting events year-round, but for Spring Break, the museum will have a special array of hands-on activities and opportunities to meet museum animal ambassadors. For the little ones, the museum has Room to Grow, a gallery containing a soft play space, the Discovery Animal Clinic, a shopping market and more. There’s also a two-story, three-tower climbing structure that has been a hit since it debuted last November. In addition to other interactive galleries, the museum is home to an 1,800 square foot cardboard maze that you’ll want to check out before it leaves this fall.

Owned and operated by the Barnes family since its founding in 1955, Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa is a labor of love. A passion for customer service has led to improvement of the resort’s amenities every year; Mountain Harbor offers a variety of lodging for every budget and boasts one of the largest inland marinas in the South.

Murphy Arts District

If a trip down (or up, or over) to El Dorado isn’t on your list yet, what are you waiting for? Thanks to the nonprofit El Dorado Festivals & Events, the Murphy Arts District (MAD) is the latest and greatest addition to a city that has been recognized as one of “America’s Best Small Town Comebacks.” MAD’s grand opening in 2017 saw a star-studded lineup featuring the likes of Brad Paisley, ZZ Top, Ludacris, Smokey Robinson, X-Ambassadors, Migos and more. MAD is an entertainment destination like no other, offering music, dance, theater, art and food in fun and immersive ways that hold true to the people and culture of El Dorado.

The idea behind the Murphy Arts District is “big city entertainment, small town vibes.” There’s year-round live music inside the First Financial Music Hall and outdoor MAD Amphitheater, along with seasonal entertainment including MAD Movie Monday and MAD on Ice. The Farmers Market at MAD features a variety of family farms and local craftspeople selling fresh produce, soaps, sweets and more. The children’s playscape is open seven days a week, and the splash pad opens up during the spring and summer. The venue is also available for weddings, proms, banquets and conferences throughout the year.

Best of all, MAD is just steps away from El Dorado’s historic downtown and all of its shopping, dining and lodging options, so there really is something for everyone to enjoy.

Big acts are always right around the corner at MAD; already on the calendar are Mardi Gras Rumble 2023 on Feb. 17, Arkansas native Ashley McBryde on Feb. 25, Arkansas Governor’s Conference on Tourism Feb. 26-28 and The Wildflowers Band – America’s #1 Tom Petty Tribute on March 3rd.

To keep up with the latest happenings, follow MAD on social media and check the website for upcoming shows.
