Find thrills in Arkansas.

While there are plenty of tourist options in Arkansas and other surrounding states, theme parks are often a big draw for visitors. Below are two of the best.

Despite its name, Gator Park in Little Rock doesn’t really feature intimidating alligators at all, but is rather home to various amusements the whole family can enjoy. From go-karts to video arcades, there is plenty of action to be had at Gator Park.

Open year round, the park features a 36-hole miniature golf course decorated with waterfalls and caves. At an extremely reasonable price for kids and adults, children under five years old are only a dollar with a paying adult. If golf isn’t your thing, then check out the bumper boats open during the main summer season. These electric boats come fully equipped with their own water cannon, allowing you the opportunity to soak your friends and team up with plenty of room for two riders in each boat.

Batting cages are also available on the premises, with adjustable skill levels for even the most advanced of baseball players. After you are done with your ball playing dreams, check out the paintball field. Complete with special birthday party packages for participants of all ages, Gator Park provides plenty of active fun for those who are looking for some serious paint-based combat.

Located in Hot Springs, this park is open during the spring and summer with plenty of thrills to offer. Check out the X-Coaster, a roller coaster that shoots you 150 feet in the air and into a 360-degree corkscrew. You’ll also love classic favorites like the Arkansas Twister, an old fashioned wooden rollercoaster that will take you on a speedy expedition through the Ouachita Mountains. Lastly, give Dr. Dean’s Rocket Machine a try – if you feel like being launched almost 100 feet into the air and then falling back down to ground level in seconds.

Little Rock is home to several parks.

This amusement park also boasts a creative kids’ area and various concerts throughout the summer for the whole family to enjoy. From R & B to classic rock, there is a musical event for every individual to enjoy. Find out more about Magic Springs and Crystal Falls including upcoming events by visiting their official website.

Are looking for a creative way to cool off during the summer months? Pay a visit to Wild River Country near Little Rock, which has the bragging rights of being Arkansas’ largest water park. Here you will find classic tube slides such as Black and White Lightning, perfect for all ages and levels of courage. More intense rides include the Vortex, which puts riders in complete darkness, and the Accelerator, recognized for its amazing speed. For those looking for a more relaxing experience, there is a lazy river and wave pool, while children can enjoy the Tad Pool toddler play area. Children can also ride the Sidewinder, one of very few raft rides designed for parents and young kids to share together.

Wild River Country isn’t alone when it comes to Arkansas theme parks with water fun. Built in 1928, Willow Springs is Arkansas’ original water park and is also located in Little Rock. Willow Springs has more reasonable ticket prices than most other parks, the entire family can afford to take a trip down exciting water slides without spending a fortune. Willow Springs also hosts an annual bible camp, providing discounts to churches and other Christian groups throughout the summer months. Group rates also apply to more mainstream activities such as birthday parties.

Whether you are riding high on a roller coaster, or floating down a relaxing river, Arkansas theme parks provide plenty of thrills for everyone.
