Take This Amazing 2-Day Getaway In Arkansas If You Need A Break From It All

Arkansas has lots of places for leisure and two pretty fantastic resort towns. At the top of our list for the perfect Arkansas staycation is the historic resort town, Hot Springs. This two-day getaway has excitement, natural beauty and of course, lots of relaxation. From terrific food to mineral baths to horse racing, Hot Springs has all the refreshment a weary vacationer could ever need.

Before you even get there, the drive through the Ouachitas is awesome:

It’s not time to check into your hotel yet, but never fear! You’re close to some great shopping.

After all that shopping, you'll want lunch. Try Deluca’s Pizzeria Napoletana at 407 Park Avenue.

Want some excitement? Spend the afternoon playing the ponies at Oaklawn Park.

I’ve got great news: you’re staying at the Arlington Hotel & Spa at 239 Central Avenue. You can check in at 3 p.m.

Massage, anyone? Look no further than your own hotel.

For dinner, you can dine in the fantastic Venetian Dining Room in the Arlington...

...or order room service.

If you’re in the mood for a pub dinner, try the Ohio Club. It’s thought to be the oldest bar in Arkansas. You can find it at 336 Central Avenue.

For breakfast, try local favorite, The English Muffin. It's located at 4832 South Central Avenue.

Don’t forget to take a stroll around Hot Springs National Park.

Are your legs tired? Try taking a Duck tour through historic Hot Springs and onto Lake Hamilton.

Are you feeling refreshed yet? Make your private mineral bath appointment at one of the historic bathhouses on Bathhouse Row. That’ll fix ya.

So, anyone down for a spring getaway weekend?
