Top 10 Shopping in Little Rock, Arkansas (AR)

November 20, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

The Clintons may have put Little Rock on the map, but this charming and historic capital city offers plenty of reasons to keep it there. The Central High Museum tells the painful, powerful story of the city's racial struggles. Political buffs and Clinton fans will want to check out the State Capitol. Shoppers can spend hours at the River Market, a collection of tasty eateries and eclectic stores. Kids will be more than wowed by attractions such as the Children's Museum, the Museum of Discovery and the Zoo, famous for its eye-popping ape exhibit. Stay at a charming historic abode, an inviting bed and breakfast or a luxury hotel. Eat at fabulous restaurants and enjoy exciting nightlife. Little Rock has all the ingredients of a perfect weekend getaway.

The Arkansas Arts Center is located in MacArthur Park, just south of 9th Street, where the Little Rock Arsenal was located during the Civil War. The birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur, which is now the Arkansas Military Museum, is adjacent to the Art Museum. There is plenty of parking outside the building. Admission is free, but there is a box for contributions. When I visited they had a special exhibit for Delta artists in one section of the museum. You just have to register at the front desk to gain admission to the Delta exhibit. Works of art, mainly paintings, but some sculptures, from artists from Arkansas and surrounding states were on display. Many of the artists were born in other states, but have moved to Arkansas. All the works were interesting, and showed a sense of style and sophistication. Other parts of the museum housed the permanent collection. One section was devoted to French Impressionists. There was another gallery devoted to the works of young artists. The museum is larger inside than you would think at first, and it takes time to wander from one room to the next. Arkansas is not a large state, compared to others, but this collection of art, for a small state, is worth a visit. I should also like to mention that the new Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, AR is also a very fine art museum, and should be visited, although it is quite a distance from Little Rock.

River Market District

Taste your way through this year-round, indoor market encompassing 10,000 square feet of owner-operated shops, stalls and tables that sell food and unique products.

Reviewed By AmandaBuffalo - Little Rock, United States

The River Market itself has a great variety of foods for lunch. My favorites are the Thai Bangkok Curry and whatever the Indian place is serving. The district has some gems like the Flying Saucer and the Freckled Frog.
