My husband was born in Hot Springs and we go there every year. Here are some ideas: Magic Springs Crystal Falls Theme & Water Park. Gangster Museum (small) downtown. Hot Springs Mountain Tower (also have hiking trail). Grand Promenade paved walk between Bathhouse Row and the mountain. Zip Line. Mid America Science Museum. Lake Catherine State Park (hiking, biking). Superlift Offroad Vehicle Park. Funtrackers Family Park (gocarts, putt putt golf). Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo very old small park that's been there forever. My husband's father helped capture the 13' gator that's stuffed there. Some people think it's "hokey" but we still love it. Drive to: Crater of Diamonds State Park, Petit Jean Mountain State Park and Blanchard Springs Cavern near Mountain View.
Dallas-Fort Worth TX: Forth Worth Stockyards (all day) and Rodeo. Zoo, Aquarium, Grapevine Vintage RR, Six Flags & Water Park, Legoland Discovery Center. Enjoy your trip!
