Thank you to the North Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau for hosting our family in North Little Rock, Arkansas. This opportunity is on behalf of The Women Bloggers.  All opinions are mine. Now on to the fun stuff… 

I have a confession to make: North Little Rock, Arkansas never crossed my mind as a family travel destination.  That was, until now.

Things to do with Kids in North Little Rock

With so many snapshots from our trip, I can not squeeze them all into one post.  However, a simple search for #ExploreNLR will provide you more insight on what a trip to North Little Rock, Arkansas can look like for your family.

Rock Region Metro Streetcar

A ride on a yellow streetcar gave our family a wonderful overview tour of Downtown North Little Rock and Little Rock. Tip: The best place to get on in North Little Rock is in front of the Argenta Branch of the Laman Library on Main Street (420 Main Street). On this tour, we got to see the beauty of Downtown from the bridge and learn the history of how North Little Rock came to be. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgable.
 
Heart Tells Your Head


Museum of Discovery

This by far was my daughter and I’s favorite place to visit during our trip. While the guys explored Pinnacle Mountain, Reese and I had a morning filled with over 90 hands-on interactive science and technology activities.  Nothing bores kids more than having to read information on wall exhibit-after-exhibit without any type of play. No matter your kids age, there is no shortage of fun. We also bumped into Kevin Delaney who has been featured on Jimmy Fallon Late Night Show.

Pinnacle Mountain State Park

The Pinnacle Mountain State Park is 2,356 acres of natural beauty. Per my husband and stepson, the views at the top of the 1000-foot mountain were incredible in all directions. Word of advice, bring a lot of water and energy. The hard work will pay off with spectacular views.

Wild River Country Waterpark

This 26-acre theme park is what you can expect from a typical water park. We went there at the end of our busy day to relax in the wave pool. Nestled among the tall trees and scenic hills, this is a must-visit destination. While, Wild River Country was fun, on the day we visited the lazy river was a disappointment. Seems like the water flow was being extra lazy. Maybe it was having an off day, but after a day of hiking my husband could have really used some time floating instead of walking the lazy river.

Wings Over the Rock: North Little Rock Annual Air Show & Car Show

This annual event has top airshow pilots, warbirds, formation flights, skydivers, helicopters, classic cars, hot rods, custom cars and most importantly a kiddie-barrel train that Reese could not get enough of.

Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum

The Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum provides guided tours of the historic submarine USS Razorback and tugboat USS Hoga. Since the USS Razorback is a real submarine, children under 5 years old are not permitted on the tours for safety reasons. Reese and I fed the nearby turtles that have never missed a meal from the looks of it. There are other exhibits that families with young children can view.

The Old Mill

Presumably last standing structure from the film, Gone with the Wind, The Old Mill is a historic recreation of an 1880’s water-powered grist mill. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and sculptures by artist Senor Dionicio Rodriguez.

North Little Rock Trip Restaurants

Taziki’s

Taziki’s was a family favorite given that it impressed even our pickiest eaters. They shall not be named, but know that this Mediterranean restaurant offers a variety of delicious menu items.

North Little Rock

The Original Scoop Dog

A hidden gem amongst a beautiful landscape, this family-owned business serves tasty treats and one-of-kind hot dogs. Most of all, the customer service is superb!

Best hotel to stay in North Little Rock, Arkansas

Candlewood Suites
Candlewood Suites is an extended stay hotel with a fully equipped kitchen in each room. As a result, we were able to eat in for some of our meal options which saved us money in the long run. This location offers an indoor pool, hot tub, and a 1000 sq ft gazebo grilling area with grills and a T.V. However, they do not offer a large-scale complimentary breakfast.
 North Little Rock
 

In a world full of numerous distractions and stressors, North Little Rock gave our family of four a chance to reconnect, recharge, and explore. Most of all, it gave us new memories. I hope that it came do the same for you and your family. Thank you North Little Rock for a wonderful time.

Instagram post 17976236731290460 Today was one of the hardest days of my life. I said goodbye to one of the biggest cheerleaders in my life, my grandmother. Her laugh was infectious and she spoke loud and with her hands - something I do too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She told me Women can do anything! That I could do anything!  When I first stated blogging years ago, one of my favorite posts was about a phone call we had that forever shaped my life. 
Her message was clear: Stop and Smell the Roses. Forgive. Step outside your routine. Doesn’t sweat the small stuff. And for crying out loud: Have a sense of humor! 
I will miss you and love you always, sweet Grandmother! 🌹 https://modernmomlife.com/stop-and-smell-the-roses/
Instagram post 17892232828433383 THROWBACK:: When I played with my DSLR camera and captured these photos. Sure, they aren’t the most advanced but I love everything about them. Seeing Christmas through the eyes of kids is one of life’s greatest joys. On the blog, I’m teaching you how to take your own photos in front of the tree with your camera. Capture these moments before time passes you by! (This was two years ago 😢😭) #LinkinProfile #babiesdontkeep #Christmasjoy #diyphotoshoot #diyphotography #ChristmasTrees
Instagram post 17863341325581099 Feels like home! Things are coming together and I’m feeling somewhat more settled since our move. Give me your best places to shop from for holiday decor. Looking for some more items for my mantle! Also need a coffee table eventually but my dog loves lying there now. #FeelsLikeHome #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #Cozy
Instagram post 18080368810148226 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! I hope you focus on the good and always find something to be grateful for no matter what fires you are putting out right now. One of the things I am grateful for besides my family is you! There’s a lot of noise out there online. I am thankful each time you like, comment and support this crazy blog life of mine! You keep my heart and coffee full. ❤️ No need to leave any other hashtag than #Thankful! (Photo by @nicolesunphotos)
Instagram post 18094593274110463 Had the best time at @kidzaniausa in Frisco! It’s a city run by Kids and open to the public! ⠀
⠀
The level of attention to detail is incredible. Every activity is hands on and provides children the opportunity to explore and try out different jobs. We will definitely be back! There’s so many activities so it’s definitely worth every penny of the admission ticket. ⠀
⠀
Things to note:⠀
✍️ There is a toddler area but most activities are geared towards the 5 and up age group. ⠀
✍️ Parents do not come inside the activities. Matter of fact, parents can drop off their kids (8 and up) and go shopping at the mall if they like. ⠀
✍️ Mooyah, Happy Taco and Pie Five Pizza are on site. ⠀
✍️ Passes are good for four hours of play. ⠀
✍️ Passport Perks are available ⠀
✍️ Adults have to pay too! ⠀
✍️ They have over 300 employees and customer service was top notch during our visit. ⠀
