Beautiful and different. We went on the west trail. Was after storms, so the creek was over the entry path (we jumped across farther down). Wasn't expecting to climb the bolders to the top, but went slow, made it fine. Would suggest you have slip resistant shoes when its wet.
2. The Old Mill

Reviewed By rmarlin4 - North Little Rock, Arkansas
If you are in the North Little Rock area, the Old Mill is a must see location.The spring and the fall are the very best times to stop in as the flowers and trees around the Old Mill are absolutely amazing.
The architecture of the mill is unlike most unique attractions around the state and the setting is tranquil. The Old Mill will not disappoint the visitors that take time to stop in.
3. P. Allen Smith's Garden Home
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 41 reviews
P. Allen Smith is a famous TV personality - gardens, architecture, homes, cooking, etc. His home is open to tours and lunch - it was excellent.
Reviewed By A TripAdvisor Member
A very nice place to visit, though a little pricey at $98. Allen Smith spoke to us upon arrival and again at lunch. He is an excellent story teller and we enjoyed listening to him. The house is very pretty and perfect with great attention to detail. The tulips were blooming, but we missed most of the daffodil blooms. I would recommend going during another time of year when more flowers are blooming. The staff was very friendly and the view of the river was pretty. Overall, I would recommend this attraction.

Very nice tour guide for a cheap price! You get the full tour of the submarine and get some stories with it! The young tour guide was really well knowledgeable and was a fantastic guide. We even had the chance to meet one of the crew from the 1960s ! A really nice guy to chat with! A must see in Little Rock if you like sea stories and great enginery machine!

Arkansas' first legal distillery since prohibition. Distiller of award winning hand crafted spirits.Tours seven days a week. See our website for times.

We arrived fifteen minutes before our tour (which was the second and last of the day). The group before us was being lubricated at the lobby bar, hitting on the bartender, making her blush and impressing the manager with their purchases. Those of us waiting, eventually around 20 people, were ignored, finally acknowledged and told to wait, and then ignored again. A horrible and unprofessional way to begin. We almost walked out.
Finally, they started collecting money for the tour and get things going after they ushered the first group out.
The tour was awesome. Very educational and entertaining. The samples poured were tasty and prices for what we paid seemed reasonable. They are kind of a on a mission to get you drunk so you buy, but that is very standard in the industry.
6. Little Rock Central High School
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 963 reviews
This National Park Service site encompasses the campus, but Central High is still an active high school. Visitors should park and begin their visit at the National Park Visitor Center, located diagonally across from the campus, at 2120 W. Daisy Gatson Bates Drive. Visitor entrance into the school is via free Ranger-led tours, which need to be reserved in advance to guarantee participation. Interpreting the Civil Rights Movement with an emphasis on school integration, this National Historic Site focuses on the 1957 desegregation crisis that resulted when Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus ordered National Guard troops to prevent the first African American students, "The Little Rock Nine," from entering formerly all white Little Rock Central High School, leading to federal intervention by order of President Dwight Eisenhower.

We did a tour of civil rights memorials/museums (not as the initial idea, but it evolved). One of the stops was here (technically, the visitor's center across the street). There was a museum and a couple of films and we walked over to the school...MoreThank you very much for sharing your experiences and insight. Visitors do come from around the world to visit this and other American civil rights historic sites recognizing that Black History and American History are part of world history and our shared human experience.

Located within BoBrook Farms is this nice little gem. Several different options of wines are offered. Beer is also available to drink on their wonderful outdoor area overlooking a river bottom runoff. They have the best meat and cheese trays around!
The owners, Bobby and Karen, are very down to earth hard working people. Judy, a good friend of there’s, helps out and is very friendly.
I have not experienced the rest of the farm but have only heard good things.

This park was designed with great attention to detail. There is beauty in the park everywhere you look. Parking is very good and the restrooms are strategically placed and well maintained. There are horse and bike trails, BMX dirt bike course, golf course and more. We were at the soccer fields and the were in excellent condition. The grass was maintained better than most high school football fields.
I noticed several pavilions for use under a reservation process that looked nice. Great place for the family outings.
10. Esse Purse Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 147 reviews
Dedicated purse museums in the world are rare jewels of history: Amsterdam, Seoul and Little Rock claim the distinction of being home to the three brick-and-mortar galleries in existence. ESSE Purse Museum at 1510 Main in the SoMa district of Little Rock opened its doors in late June 2013 to share what's inside the fabulous exhibit featuring over 500 artifacts. More than a fashion history, the museum showcases a compelling narrative of the 20th-century American woman - decade by decade - through the bags she carried and the contents within. The delightful displays of purses are complemented by carefully selected items women from each era carried - true history held in a handbag. Small photos in the displays and enormous backlit photos on the north wall show real women with their personal bags. Three cozy dioramas - "Nothing's More Natural Than Skin," "By Land, Sea or Air" and "A Night on the Town" - feature specialty purses, and a large, whimsical art installation addresses the essence of a woman, her handbag and the contents within. ESSE, which grew out of a traveling exhibit selected from owner Anita Davis' extensive collection of bags, is a privately-owned museum housed in a historic building in an up-and-coming, hip neighborhood, close to other world famous attractions like Central High School (the only school that is a national park) and the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park. More than just a trip down memory lane or history lesson, ESSE Purse Museum is a don't-miss experience. Museum hours are 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $10, $8 for students (6-18), seniors (60 and up) and military. Children 5 and younger are free. Call for group rates and special tours.

Took a walk out to visit the museum and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and informative and the items on display were fab. Nice little gift shop to browse too. Would defiantly recommend this. My partner also enjoyed himself. He liked to see how...MoreThank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear that both of you enjoyed your visit.
