Our 6 Favorite Arkansas Towns

We’re here to help you find all the fun things for kids in Arkansas! All four of of us in the family have been born and raised in the Natural State, and we are proud to be from this great state! Throughout this site, we will talk about our six favorite Arkansas towns – favorite restaurants, favorite attractions, favorite site seeing, and so much more!

Although we cover all areas of the state on this website, we will especially highlight fun things in Arkansas for kids in the main towns and cities that we spend most of our time.

We, Harper and Norah, were born and raised in Bryant which is closely associated with Benton – so we kind of consider ourselves to have two hometowns! We talk a lot about both Saline County towns here on our site.

And Dad is from Fort Smith. so we spend a good bit of time there also.

And we do a good bit of traveling to our other favorite areas.

Hot Springs is very close to us and there are lots of fun things for families in Arkansas to do there.

The northwest part of the state is considered the modern and hip area, and there are so many opportunities for sports watching and adventure there!
