First time experience for my sister and me ~ we went with my 12-year-old niece and nephew who had been to other escape rooms several times. I'll admit, they were way better at it than we were! We needed a bit of help but made it through. We did the Riddle High room- a great retro theme and lots of fun. The Mystery Mansion crew were great and gave us extra time to finish (we needed it!). Fun activity!!

A haunting, yet at the same time very moving reminder that, despite the efforts of a few who cannot read or chose to disregard our Constitution, we’re all the same, just different.

Pinnacle Mountain State Park is a delightful natural oasis 30 mins from Little Rock. The main part of the park has a large flat area where people congregate for all kinds of activities from Frisbee to volleyball to soccer. There is a playground for the wee-ones and restrooms for all. At the same area there is access to the Little Maumelle river for canoes/kayaks. One of the main draws to the whole park is hiking Pinnacle Mountain. One access is from this main parking lot. There is another area to access the hiking trail on the other side the mountain. The east side is the harder side. Both are well marked until the near top. Then you get into large rocks and boulders with the east side being steeper. There is also a trail around the entire called the Base Trail. You can hike up one side, down the other and around the base for about a 3 mile hike. I would rate the trails up the mountain moderate to hard. I see families with small children especially on the west trail but I would not recommend that. The views from the top are stupendous. There is much more in this wonderful park! a Fishing lake which is stocked, mountain bike trails, a visitor center and a delightful short hike that is disabled access to an overlook of the Arkansas River. There is an abundance of huge cypress trees with their "elbows" along the river. Yes, Arkansas is hot and we have lots of bugs, snakes, etc so go in the fall, winter, or spring. Get off your couch, put on some bug spray and enjoy this Natural State Wonder!

This is the newest museum in the Little Rock area! It is a museum of African American history and is a member of the Department of Arkansas Heritage. It has such awesome stories to tell and I think you should def include it on your list of things to do in Little Rock.

Amazing facility! The museum is beautifully curated! This is a must-see of African-American history in Arkansas. The event space is very nice and nostalgic...I won’t give away the secrets! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they also have a great gift shop. Perfect historical tour and event/banquet space for school groups, church groups, family/family reunion groups...definitely make this a stop on the itinerary:-). And if you want oral history, ask for Ms. Annie!!!!
