Family, Fun and Folk Music

This four-day family getaway blends hands-on museums, kid-friendly hikes, local eats and a deep dive into Arkansas’ folk traditions. Kick things off in Little Rock with lunch in the River Market District — whether it's wood-fired pizza, spicy curry or slow-smoked barbecue, there's something for every appetite. Hop aboard a free trolley, stroll to scenic overlooks, and don’t miss a stop at Loblolly Creamery for a scoop (or two) of small-batch ice cream.

Then it's off to the Ozarks, where trails lead to caves, music fills the air, and artisans still shape the culture by hand. It’s the kind of trip where everyone gets to discover something — and no one wants to leave early.
