A PLACE TO REMEMBER

Make room for the wonder.

Historic bathhouses meet wooded hills in the center of Hot Springs. Build an easy-paced outing around the architecture and exhibits, then decide whether to add a hill walk or a separately arranged bathing experience.

BUILD YOUR OWN PARK DAY

Places to consider

Choose the stops that suit your time and your party. These are ideas for exploring, rather than a fixed itinerary or a promise that every road, trail or facility will be open.

Before you set out

Bathing businesses have their own reservations, age policies and accessibility arrangements. Treat them separately from the park’s public spaces.

Give the day room

Allow time for the approach, parking and breaks. Pick walks for the least mobile members of your party, and leave space for weather or a change of plans.

Bring your group

Confirm vehicle access, drop-off and parking with the park. Check any guided tours, transport and accessibility arrangements before fixing the rest of the itinerary.
