I wanted to take the time to list my favorite places in Little Rock along with some of the places we ate at that are worth recommending but never got the chance due to us traveling home and being so busy since we arrived! SO..without further ado..
Places worth visiting in Little Rock
1. IF you happen to be in a camping mood, or an RV'er like us then definitely check out the North Little Rock KOA. The staff is very friendly, they serve Blue Bell ice cream(which could be why I have gained 6 pounds! lol) the grounds are kept very clean as is the pool, they have a playground for the little ones and a dog park for the pups! The campground is convenient to several restaurants and WalMart and overall worth the stay!
2. Downtown Little Rock/Farmer's Market/the riverfront
Downtown Little Rock offers so much! It is eclectic, fun, and family orientated..the Farmer's Market is awesome, the Riverfront is full of fun places for kids(Lily especially loved the splash zone) and the coolest playground ever! Tons of restaurants, and bars so it is definitely worth checking out!
3. Wild River Country
This water park is literally behind the campground(but not in an obtrusive way) and we went there quite a few times thanks to its convenience and the Summer sun!
4. Little Rock Zoo
Although it was so hot outside that a majority of the animals hid inside their habitats we really enjoyed the Zoo.
5. Burns Park
I cannot say enough about Burns Park, mostly because the place goes on forever..I think it is over 2,000 square feet and has everything a family could hope for..hiking/biking/horseback riding trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, soccer fields, baseball fields, a lake, a covered bridge, a golf course, the worlds largest dog park(seriously the thing was huge, and Cash loved it!), and the coolest little amusement park for kids!
6. The Old Mill
The Old Mill is gorgeous and was used in the opening sequence of Gone With The Wind, enough said! :)
7. Maumelle Park
Are you starting to notice a theme? lol We spent a lot of time outdoors in Little Rock and Maumelle is a beautiful example why..located across the bridge from the campground it offers beautiful views of the river, biking/hiking trails and picnic areas.
Best places to eat in Little Rock
1. American Pie Pizza
Right up the street from our campground we frequented this place(again another reason I gained some lbs! ha ha) great pizza, good beer(Stella was our choice) and reasonable prices!
2. Casa Mexicana
Authentic(FOR real) Mexican food, good drinks, and friendly staff(ask for Brian he was our favorite)
3. Boscoe's
"The place for beer lovers" or so their sign says! :) They brew their own beers, are right on the water and have awesome burgers.
4. Farmer's Market Cafe
Basically a food court but not your typical one as it offers all kinds of foods and has a real restaurant vibe to it..our favorite was Blue Coast Cafe
5. Gusanos
Another pizza place, Chicago style, lively at night(though we didn't partake in that lol), and good hot dogs!
6. Cock of the Walk
Located next to a fully stocked lake this restaurants mainstay is Catfish(which Chad and Lily both ate) beautifully set up, awesome cornbread, and fried chicken
We didn't eat out a lot since we mostly cook at home, and when we did,we pretty much stuck to our favorites...but these are all worth checking out!
Overall Little Rock was a good place and we had a lot of fun there..however, it is so nice to be home even for a short period since we are off to our next destination...Springfield Virginia!!
