Hot Springs Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Hot Springs Arkansas epitomizes the “The Natural State’s” nickname. Hot Springs National Park, Crystal Falls Water and Magic Springs Theme parks, hiking treks along Hot Springs Mountain, and golfing at select, world-class country clubs fill the daylight hours; afterwards, select from a wide array of lodging choices.  You’ll find family-oriented campgrounds, cabin rentals, intriguing bed and breakfast inns, and exclusive resort spas perfect to make your honeymoon/anniversary getaway unforgettable.  You can even rent a houseboat on scenic Lake Ouachita!  Hot Springs Arkansas is definitely a pet-friendly town, where the welcome mat is often extended for your family’s animal companion.

Hot Springs National Park is the area’s number one draw for visitors, set up as America’s very first federally protected area.  Enjoy steamy waters from 47 thermal springs, flowing along Hot Springs Mountain’s southwestern slope.  Even prior to the Louisiana Purchase, Native American tribal members gathered in peace, to enjoy the healing properties of this natural wonder.  Whether you prefer guided tours or searching on your own along “Bathhouse Row,” be sure to check out the historic Fordyce Bathhouse Museum where generations of Americans bathed and relaxed in splendor.

A wide array of ethnic and American cuisine, bakeries, cafes, and fine dining restaurants awaits, ready to satisfy any appetite.  Deli-style sandwiches are a popular option for campers, hikers, and bikers hoping to spend the entire day at the park or lakeside.  The Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce provides the most up-to-date listing for area restaurants.          

Make the Hot Springs Convention and Visitor Center your first stop, either in person at 134 Convention Boulevard, or on-line for Hot Spring lodging and things to do, maps, Hot Springs Travel Guides, picturesque views of Hot Springs and the surrounding area.  You can even order Hot Springs tourism and vacation materials on-line.
