Things To Do
Kollective Coffee & Tea
This is the #1 place we recommend. Anytime we are in Hot Springs, we stop by Kollective. Their coffees and teas are delicious and their pastries are scrumptious. You're in for a real treat if they have fresh Blackberry Hibiscus Scones or Lemon Bars available.
Grateful Head Pizza Oven and Beer Garden
Our favorite place to eat! Their pizza is fabulous. CeCi prefers the basic cheese pizza, but Danté loves the Dire Wolf if you are a meat lover.
Mamoo's Creamery
Best ice cream in town by far! The owner's are so sweet and make the ice cream themselves. They are located under the infamous Arlington Hotel.
Garvan Gardens
The gardens are stunning and Anthony Chapel was a venue we considered. Although we did not end up choosing it, it's still a beautiful piece of art we highly recommend getting to see.
Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort
The horse race track only runs December-May, but Oaklawn still has a casino, dining option, a spa and hotel that you may find fun in.
Crater of Diamonds State Park
About an hour and half south of Hot Springs is Crater of Diamonds State Park where you can actually dig for diamonds! The last time we visited, we didn't find any diamonds, but we did dig up a ton of cool stones and rocks. Worth the trip if you plan to visit for a few days.
Superior Bathhouse Brewery
Beer brewed with thermal spring water! Not to mention this brewery was one of the original bathhouses in Hot Springs before it's remodel.
Quapaw Baths & Spa
A very nice spa with the original thermal hot springs that can be enjoyed either in the pool or private bath. They also offer massages and facials.
