Before You Bring Your Kids to Little Rock: Little Rock for Kids and Families

Little Rock is a great place for families. I'll show you how to keep your kids healthy, happy and entertained in Little Rock

Things to Do

Little Rock has many attractions for kids. The downtown area alone can keep kids occupied with the Museum of Discovery, the fun Peabody Ducks, the main library, Heifer's Global Village and more. We also have state parks, water parks and city parks to keep your family busy. The Little Rock Zoo near War Memorial Park is a can't miss family attraction, and don't forget Arkansas Traveler's baseball.
