Overview Arkansas

Visiting Arkansas

What’s in a name? Arkansas’ “Natural State” moniker is well-earned from the Ozarks to the Mississippi Delta, while Hot Springs National Park, the oldest park in the US system, quietly reigns as “the American Spa.” Other natural gems include the Blanchard Springs Caverns, and the Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only diamond-bearing site in the world that’s open to the public. In Little Rock, another prominent American features at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, not to mention historic spots like the Arkansas State Capitol Building and the Central High Museum and Visitor’s Center, the seminal site of school integration in the country.

So whether you’re a first-timer or a frequent visitor, a business traveler or a budget explorer, IgoUgo has all the travel-planning tools and resources you need to create a memorable vacation. Read traveler reviews of the top hotels, restaurants, and things to... Read More
