We have listed several local food, dessert, and drink spots on the “Things To Do” tab of this website! Texarkana also hosts most chain restaurants and stores! If you feel like venturing out of the TXK area you can check out Crater Of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, AR (the only place in the country you can dig/mine for diamonds and keep what you find)! We also suggest Old Washington State Park in Washington, AR for beautiful scenery, candle making, wagon rides, and a glimpse of what Arkansas life was like during the Civil War! If you feel like staying in the TXK area there is shopping, parks/nature trails, bowling, water parks, and mini golf! We are confident there is a little something for everyone!
