OUR TOURING TIPS: We love Hot Springs because of the natural beauty and history. The Hot Springs Park and Bathhouse row is where we often visit and take guests. Ohio Club has been visited by numerous famous people - the bar staff and menu can share the rich history. Our family also enjoys looking for crystals in near by mines (fee and bring a shovel/bucket), free mini golf in the Village(bring putter & ball), near by HSV playground. If you like horse racing, Oaklawn has some great races, you may see a horse run here and later at the Kentucky Derby. There is a small casino at Oaklawn too. The Lake Ouachita state park is another spot our family likes to explore. If you are up for a drive Little Rock is fun to visit and another state park we like is Jean Petite. HVS has a look out but it can be hard to find.
