Neighborhoods
So much to do in Hot Springs! Downtown is a unique and a fun place to visit. Strip downtown has boutiques, massage houses, art galleries, local wine store with tastings, aquarium (small but fun for kids), homemade ice cream parlors, Mobster museum, hiking (or driving) to viewing deck and so much more to explore.
If you like horse racing or casinos visit the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort. Qualifiers for the Kentucky Derby race here!
Magic Springs Amusement park a hit! Water park plus rides and live concerts.
