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!!

Opened in 1977, the Pinnacle Mountain State Park serves as a center for education, recreation and preservation.

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!
8. Old State House Museum

Built in 1836, this was the state's first capital building.
Reviewed By mariegleerup - Los Angeles, United States
Don't pass this one up -- what a terrific museum! We did not expect to spend more than an hour, but there was plenty to see (museum is free, also!). In May, curator Jo Ellen is opening two new areas: the Rock & Roll history of Little Rock, and The Governors of Arkansas. Both areas are fantastic, so if you're traveling to Little Rock, book yourself a couple hours to visit. We were able to view 28 of the 43 "first lady" inaugural gowns, which are impeccably displayed, with purse, shoes, coat and hat included.

10. Historic Arkansas Museum

Recalling Arkansas' frontier days with restored pre-Civil War houses plus a museum center featuring full-scale galleries, interactive exhibits and more.
Reviewed By TravellingMagi - Wichita, United States
We decided to spend a few hours here while passing through Little Rock recently and were very glad we did. Great exhibits and the personal, guided tour of all of the outbuildings was a very nice touch that made you really feel as if you were walking back in time. I have family that live in Little Rock who said they've never been there, and that's a shame. It's a real nice piece of preserved history right there in your little city and is well worth the time and money to go and see. Parking can be a bit tricky, but if you're not in a hurry it is well worth the stop. Highly recommended place to visit.
