Top 10 Water & Amusement Parks in Arkansas, United States
Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.
The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses.

My grown daughter and I had a blast here. It's been many years since I played putt-putt and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We both did. The landscaping and decor are well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. We did the easier of the two courses and finished in about 45 minutes. The price was very reasonable. There's a downloadable $1.00 off coupon on their website too.

It’s just my husband and I since all of our kids have grown up. However, we aren’t too old not to have fun. We absolutely loved the volcano mini golf, and laughed so hard while squirting each other with the bumper boats. I most definitely recommend going here. We will definitely be back

We took our 12 year old and 15 year old ice skating here and it was so much fun! The atmosphere was great! The rink was beautful and the lights inside the ice was a nice extra touch. I love that it is made from real ice and not plastic like a lot of rinks are made from now days.

Friendly Staff. Easy access. Loved this theme park, well worth the price. We went on a weekend and it got a little packed but not too bad, this park is well worth visiting. If someone doesn't want to get in the water, you can pay a spectator pass for $5. Very nice water park and prices aren't too bad, you can stay as long as you want....they close at 7PM. Family fun for all ages and has some handicapped spots for people with wheelchairs or scooters.
