Oppelo
Little
Rock and North Little Rock form the vibrant
heart of Arkansas. The two cities and their neighboring towns comprise a metropolitan area
of some 500,000 people in central Arkansas. This metropolis, as well as
Conway, Searcy and Cabot, and nearby cities in the central region, offer a
cosmopolitan mix of historic attractions, imaginative
shopping opportunities, fine dining, nightlife and creative arts and fine hotels.
A grand collection of museums offers something for every
taste from art to history to aerospace. And the Quapaw Quarter of restored
19th-century homes is one of the country's finest examples of bringing an older
neighborhood back to life through adaptive reuse. Be sure to visit the new River Market in
Little Rock for tastes of exotic cuisines and the freshest of produce from nearby farms in
season.
Extensive park systems in both cities provide the chance
to play golf or tennis, fish for lunkers in the Arkansas River or on area lakes, hike
leafy trails, talk to the animals in the park-like Little Rock zoo or picnic in beautiful natural
settings.
Central Arkansas is an ideal staging area for your Natural
State vacation. Its big city tempo exists side by side with small-town charm. Discover
Central Arkansas's winning ways for yourself.
