Fun things to do in Hot Springs: 22 fun attractions and activities

This is a unique National Park. While it’s not the rugged hiker’s paradise that many others are, it has its own special charm. The historic bathhouses are fascinating to see, and the urban setting makes it perfect for a couple’s outing or casual day trip. I hiked the Peak Trail—super easy, though hot in the midday sun—and was rewarded with a beautiful view of Arkansas’s lush greenery from the top. Definitely worth a visit.

I had such a great experience visiting Hot Springs National Park! The mix of nature and history makes it a truly unique place — you can hike beautiful forest trails and then relax in the historic bathhouses. The water is warm, soothing, and perfect after a long walk. Everything is well-maintained, and the atmosphere feels peaceful and welcoming.

I understand protecting our natural resources, but I question the initial intention of the park and what it has become. Set within the town of Hot Springs, there are only 2 bathhouses still functioning. Originally “preserved for future recreation” by Congress in 1832, before National Parks were established, it seems like it was originally intended by as “medicinal”playground for the rich and famous (not surprising) and now, not so much. Still, the springs and history are fascinating and you should at least try one of the open bathhouses if you visit. There is some shopping and a few hiking trails, but not much else.

The Hot Springs National Park unfortunately was closed due to government shut-downs. However, we were still able to access the springs and the trails. The hot springs average around 130F so use caution if you have your small children with you. We had a 5yo & 7yo and they were able to be careful and enjoy touching and learning about the springs. Because the park is integrated within the downtown, it didn’t take long to walk the trail. There’s a lot more trails to hike that we did not do with our youngest kids this trip.

Different kind of Mario Al park. Not a lot of hiking trails, but we did manage to do about 4 miles, uphill for a mile straight, so there are options. There are also roads going to the attractions that the trails end at if you’re not into hiking. One unique thing about this park is the bathhouses that are still operating for a one of a kind spa experience. Cool park, but keep in mind this is an urban area, not the solitary park you may be used to.

The vibe here is incredible. The different places to go and things to do that are FREE(not the food- but the water is!!)- From bathhouse row to the Gangster Museum to Fat Jacks. Do yourself a favor and GO!!!!!!

Thos park is a lot different from other National Parks. Its small and crowded. Bring plenty of empty containers to take home some spring water, it will come out very hot. If you can go pamper yourself at one of the bathhouse. Lots of history there.

Great place to take the family and enjoy the day. There's plenty to see and learn inside and outside the main building. My favorite thing to see was the famous Tesla coil. The digital dome theater was also fun. If you come in early enough during the week you can go through the exhibits without too many people. If you're from out of town I would recommend a visit here with the family.

My kid enjoyed it a lot and didn’t want to leave; he cried, "I don't wanna go home, I want to play more :)" Honestly, we also had a great time. Especially the Tesla Show was really awesome. I recommend not missing both shows; you might learn something new, I can promise :)

In town from Austin. We've got our own science / children's museums of course and the Mid-America Science Museum puts ours to shame. One of the best I've ever taken the kids to. Fantastic blend of interactive exhibits and outdoor areas. We opted to do the Tesla coil experience and it was well worth it; our 2- and 4-year olds weren't super engaged with the learning part but even they loved when the coil itself was turned on. If you're in Hot Springs with kids (even teenagers would enjoy it if they "have" to tag along with younger siblings), you really should try and make it.

Fantastic science museum with some really unique displays and interactions. With a major focus on caves, dinosaurs and electricity, we happily spent an entire afternoon here with all the exhibits - the highlight of the day was the Tesla coil show. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly very patient with science loving kiddos

there is plenty to do here for the whole family. even the 1-year-olds will appreciate the visit. me and my family have visited this little gym many times and every time there is something new. there's activities to do inside outside wheelchair accessible, Hands-On activities, water activities, even a show if you don't want to touch anything. if you've never been and you have children, it's a must do. of course you're supposed to take them with you, but if you choose not to and your inner child is calling, it's a fun place.

This was a major hit with our little family. Our son is 3 and he could've stayed there all day. We spent four hours there as it was haha. We went to the digital dome show, and we also saw the Tesla coil show, both were very interesting and full of information. Zane led the Tesla coil exhibit while we were there, and he was very knowledgeable. There are so many different interactive exhibits to check out both inside and outside. If you have a little one that loves dinosaurs, do not miss out on this!

I have visited a few times. I personally think this museum is better than the discovery museum in Little Rock and is worth the drive. There are plenty of hands on experiences and activities for people of all ages. These activities often have an explanation nearby to explain what is being shown or how to do the activity. They have live performances like the presentation on the tesla coil. The Tesla coil performance offers ear protection for visitors who are more sensitive to loud noises. There were employees spread out encouraging people to interact with the activities and explaining how/what the goal is. Felt friendly and inviting.

Great view from the top, lots of history on display boards on the lower floor. Also a nice souvenir shop with a mix of gifts from shirts, sweatshirts, ornaments, magnets, shot, glasses, snacks, and so on. It is eight dollars to go to the top of the tower. And it is wheelchair accessible. To get to the tower, you will also take a pretty scenic drive. Enjoy the drive and watch for wildlife. We saw a doe and her two fawns.

This is such a beautiful scenic place. Very nice gift shop when you walk in. You can pay to take the elevator to the top (which I would definitely suggest) you won't be disappointed. The view is magnificent. The roads going in and coming out are gorgeous and lots of places to pull over and take pictures. I could go on and on about it but all I can say is if you are in Hot Springs don't pass it up. There's so much to do there and so many trails.

Tower provides a panoramic view of Hot Springs and beyond. Stop on the second level to incorporate the history of the Hot Springs and the bath houses. Take time to stop along the way before the tower to enjoy the views. The tower staff were very welcoming.

Beautiful place, all the hot springs are commercialised for hot baths for paid and reserved. Couldn’t see any natural hot springs in the National Park. Very beautiful trails with tree cover. The observation tower/Mountain tower was very beautiful for a Birds Eye view and great outlook points on the way. Nearby is a Marina where boating l, kayaking and water activities which can be a great cool off for the kids and family.

Extremely popular, but that also means very crowded. The views are one of a kind, and there's 2 levels at the top including one indoor that's kind of like a hot springs museum. The drive up to the tower is also very scenic and beautiful, but expect to be hurried by traffic behind you.

Great views from on high of the surrounding Hot Springs area. Also pretty good gift shop at the base entrance. There is an elevator to the top. Wheelchair accessible.

Really enjoyed visiting Hot Springs Mountain Tower. The views from the top were beautiful and totally worth it. The elevator ride up was quick, and there’s a small gift shop and some cool info displays. Great spot if you’re in the area — perfect for a short, scenic stop.

This is a nice park with some rides and a water park, unfortunately the day I visited there was a storm and the park closed early. However the rides I got to ride were fun, the staff was nice and the park was clean. One coaster, X was closed and they have another wooden coaster that is being worked on and not even on the map right now so hopefully that will be refurbished soon. So I got on 3 coasters which were good. They have some nice flat rides, and the water park looks nice.

We had a great time on our vacation when we visited Magic Springs. We did not have to wait long for rides in both the amusement park and the water park. I was definitely disappointed that only one roller coaster was working, though. Another annoyance was paying for a float for the water park. We did NOT pay for a float because we felt we spent far too much money as is here for many of the rides being out of order. We ended up not even needing to pay for floats because there were others we could get for free. Do not fall for that scam!

We did a Back to School trip for the kids. This park was perfect. Our kids wanted to stay in the kiddie area and the wave pool. It looked like there were big slides and some type of roller coaster that were operating. The crowd was perfect. It wasn't too packed, we went on a Wednesday. I cammn definitely see my family going back to visit this amusement/ water park.

First time at the park, went ahead and bought a season pass. Could not find any corn dogs but the food was great! I wish they had a cash option because everything except the indoor restaurant won't accept cash inside the park. Rides were super fun! On a slow day the lines aren't too long. Park was clean and there were plenty of staff members available to answer any questions I had and were nice and helpful. I saw that there was a ride or two closed, hopefully they fix it soon!

Several rides/slides were down and the X Coaster had the safety devices malfunctioning on it while people were riding it. Went to the bathroom as soon as we got there and they were out of soap and paper towels and we got there as soon as they opened. There were people smoking/vaping weed openly around kids. Tons of trash all over the park and most of the trash cans smelled very soured. Not a lot of places to sit in the shade. The kids had a blast though, overall the trip was not horrible but very evident the park has gone downhill some since last year and years before.

This a great little park. They have 5 roller coasters on site. One is an old fashioned wood coaster. Then they have 2 water coasters. Then there is the water park side. It has a lazy river, a huge splash pad with several slides and hoses to spray others and a big bucket that drops every 5 minutes or so. The best deal is a season pass. You get free parking. Instead of having to pay I think. $20 to park. Visit twice and you have covered the price of the season pass. You do need to be aware the the life guards are mostly students and when school goes back into session that some of the water rides will not be open for lack of life guards. They have in the past rotated the life guards to different areas to give guest a chance to still use all the water park. Over all not a bad park. It is not 6 flags, but we have been coming here for years and love it.

I went with my sister on 7/2/25 and we had an absolute blast. It wasn't busy, the place was clean and very well organized. We had such a fun time. Highly recommended and we'll be back as soon as we can.

I learned so much about both baseball and gangster activities in the history of Hot Springs. I enjoyed it so much I got a couple books about it here and went back to my room and read them. Such interesting history! The museum itself relies heavily on videos to tell the story. You go from room to room and watch a video then go to the next. Each room tells a different part of the story. They were interesting and filled with local people. There was memorabilia in the rooms as well. But not like most typical museums. I feel like it is more about the stories. Enjoyed!!

The Gangster Museum was an unique experience! Our tour guide was a plus. He was dressed in character, full of energy, and rattling off fascinating stories like he’s been living in that era himself. You could totally tell he loves what he does, and that passion made the tour way more engaging. The photos, artifacts, and vintage details were awesome! Everything from old roulette tables to mugshots of the most notorious mobsters. We learned so much about how deep the gangster ties ran in Hot Springs, and it was way more than we expected! The only thing that dragged a bit were the videos. If you're into history, crime stories, or just want to do something different, this place is a must-see for a super affordable price !

I put no wait to get in because youcan just walk right in, but you may have to wait for a tour to start. It is well worth the money. Lots of very cool and amazing artifacts and information!! I highly recommend going there when visiting Hot Springs!

Its ok. But not really what I expected. Mostly pictures on the walls, etc. and while someone tells you information, the majority are videos. The Gangster Museum is really a history of the city as stranger/gangsters began to vist it and go for entertainment. They do have a few other items to tie it together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First-time visitors to Hot Springs and we’re glad we stopped at the Gangster Museum! The tour runs about an hour and a half and mixes live presentation, stories, and videos. Really cool way to learn about the fascinating history of Hot Springs and its ties to the gangster era. We walked away having learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town!

Look into buying tickets prior to showing up. If there is a big crowd it will have limited seating in each rooms. Informational and a great place to buy hats.

This is a solid fun thing to do while in Hot Springs. I really liked the interesting information presented and some cool artifacts or props to look at, many of which you can touch. The people we interacted with were all super nice as well. As mentioned in the reviews, the tour itself is uniquely laid out. You go from room to room, listen to a few minutes of the guide introducing the room, then a video is played (around 10 minutes long), then the guide comes back in and talks for another few minutes. Then you get to look around for a few more minutes before going to the next room. You can spend as long as you want in those rooms reading everything if you wanted to but you may miss the tour guide talking about the next room. Also, each room only has like 10 chairs or so, when there is 20 ish people, so you're not guaranteed a seat while that 10 minute video is played. The only thing is our guide, although nice, wasn't really the best guide for this kind of a tour. You need someone with a loud projecting voice, confident sounding, and funny. Our guide spoke real fast and mumbled parts of it. He wasn't very dramatic either, which is what you want in a tour guide to really bring things to life. I felt like I was listening to a college professor again. The first room is probably the most boringest room and video. It made me think, what did I just spend my money on, but it got a lot better. I think if we had a more engaging/dynamic tour guide this would have easily been a 5 star experience.

Overall this was a good experience. It was fun for my kids ages 10 and 13. We did pay extra to feed the baby alligators. We arrived on a Sunday early afternoon. It was not crowded most likely due to the high temperatures and it being Sunday. This is not a guided tour or at least it was not while we were there. I think that that would be very helpful if there were people around to ask questions or tell you fun facts. There are some signs up, but mainly warnings. We went through and looked at the alligators, they have some other wildlife there like lemurs, another monkey, and a wolf. The petting zoo was just okay you can go in with the rabbits, and the goats. You get a small tin roughly 5 oz Chex mix to feed the goats, sheep, emu, and donkeys. The rabbits, ducks, and turtles you must purchase lettuce from the vendors there.. and they're hard to find. The person handing out the Chex mixes there but the one to hand out the lettuce and other things was not around. And it's a dollar for a piece of lettuce. We paid extra to pay the baby alligators but the lady that was hosting it with trying way too hard and in the most respectful way I can state was very rude. She was trying to be funny but was being very aggressive and her demeanor was not necessarily appropriate for my children. I was not very happy with her. She immediately made comments about my son's hair being too long which was not okay. Then made fun of him for how he was handling the baby alligator while I realize that there is safety protocols in there where she needs to say and be aggressive or assertive to protect the animal and you She did it in a very callous and mocking way instead of a respectful way. I declined feeding them and I wanted my son to take my spot and she argued with me that I should be the one to feed it and I flat out said I'm here because of my son it's for him so I'm letting him take the feeding turn. I felt like I was having to argue with a grown person and I was very annoyed. We then left there and went to the gift shop. The gift shop was cute they had lots of cute stuff the people that were working there were very helpful and knowledgeable about all the items that they had and we did enjoy that part very much. Overall it is a very neat experience, I would highly suggest More signage outside with descriptions, or fun facts. Again not bashing this place. This is just an honest review from somebody that does go to similar places and in comparison to others this one I found to be lacking in customer service in the outside, and overall enjoyment because you didn't get to learn anything about the animal unless you were reading an old article inside the store. Overall like I said, this was a decent experience. I'm not sure that I would ever go again.

Went when I was a lil girl. When my hub wanted to go today I was kinda like “I guess something to do”. OMG it was so much fun. I love the animals and this made my day. Goats, sheep, donkeys, wolves, birds, and oh yeah, lots of gators. The biggest one over 800 lbs!! The girl handling the baby gators was so brave and informative. Learned a lot on gators. Really cool. The wonderful employees helped even helped me look for my lost wallet! Thank you. Definitely go there when in town and pet the animals. They love it (the furry ones, not the gators lol)

We were visiting Hot Springs from out of town and made sure we arrived on Thursday before noon to experience the alligator feeding. Brandon was a great guide and it’s clear he is very passionate about alligators and wildlife. He gave special attention to every question asked and you can tell he loves what he does. The rest of the staff were super kind and friendly and accommodating. I had read some mixed reviews about the farm/petting zoo so I went in with low expectations but the petting zoo was a great outing for our family. Highly recommend!

It was good family fun. The Donkeys were so cute and and friendly. The Petting zoo was so much fun. Lots of animals to love on. You can even hold a baby alligator. We will come back!

I must give a five star for the cleanliness and humane way the animals are cared for. This place has been here since the early 1900s. The same family has owned it since 1946. Friendly people, cool souvenirs, and fun to hold the alligator!

We were on a family back to school field trip/ getaway. Perfect place just for that. Devin is a great your guide. His interaction and story telling with the kids is above and beyond.

Super neat for the whole family! Alligator feeding and speech was cool. You get to hold a baby alligator, that was super fun! Stroller friendly but there are mostly rocks. Plenty of animals. Peacocks, a monkey, wolves, gators, goats, emu, birds, chickens, ducks, lemurs and more!

Nice peaceful place to walk and just chill. They have chess boards built into tables. If you want to stop and play, bring your pieces. The wheelchair ramp is at the main entrance off bathhouse row. Didn't walk whole trail. It is long and you could spend half a day just here. I think it's cool to do at least once. Also, a great place to relax your feet for a bit from walking bathhouse row. Has a lot of history and plaques to describe importance. Bike rack at side entrance. Regular parking is hard to find on busy days in general in Hot Springs, with this not being an exception

Strolling the Grand Promenade! We liked the self-guided walkway down the Grand Promenade, enjoying Hot Springs National Park's amazing atmosphere, with its blend of natural beauty and historical significance. This place offers views of the historic bathhouses, historic architectures and the thermal springs, which are often covered in green "spring boxes" to preserve them from contamination. Several short historic trails begin from this place. This place has "tufa" formations which were unique to us.

Nice walking trail! Very peaceful Benches throughout the stroll to sit and relax. Parking was hard to find on the day we went, had to pay to park using a text to pay parking meter.

20241002 Nice paved brick trail with many branches that take you to the main strip or additional trails. It was nice to see the roof top of some of the Bathhouses from above. Very dogfriendly.

This location in Hot Springs, Arkansas is a gem. Although it was extremely hot outside, we made the trek going up-and-down the promenade and went up the stairs to take a hike. Yes, the water is actually extremely hot, and it was trickling as we walked by, it was steaming and it looked beautiful. I would really enjoy this area on a cold day. They have benches along the walkways, for people to sit down. We didn't have time to do any of the hot baths but at least we were able to touch the hot water from the spring, and fill up a couple of jumps of water before we left. I would definitely recommend anybody to go here, especially because it is free, but also, because it is absolutely gorgeous.

Nice wide walkway along a cliff overlooking downtown Hot Springs. Very nicely maintained and scenic. Several side trails along the promenade and a few fountains for taking a break. It was very relaxing while I was taking here, it is lovely me a huge long park area for pedestrians. Yes they have benches to sit and relax all along the walkway.

An easy walk, very dog friendly. We went in the morning and with all the shade, it was still cool, even in July.

We had four kids ranging from 3yo to 9o, and they all loved it! We did the Captains course. It was pretty easy, except for two holes that involved water (had to go fishing for our golf balls from some wild hits). It took us just over an hour, but it could be done much faster if you don't have Littles. The course was very clean, and the landscaping was beautiful for a putt putt course! We had a great time, and I'm sure we'll be back next time we visit.

Really great place for mini-golf! We had so much fun going around the course that goes through a cave and by a waterfall.

Love the view. We just wanted to visit there. The front desk staffs were so nice to us when we tell them we just wanted to see inside and they let us to go inside without any charge. The sound of the waterfall is so peaceful.

Even tho we're adults we laughed and cut up like kids. This place is great for dates , family times etc. The atmosphere screams have let go and enjoy. We ended up placing both courses.

This is a great miniature golf course. The course is in great condition and the layout is fantastic. It's not a really challenging course to play but still enjoyable to play.

This place is cool. Well put together and just an overall good time. I've taken all ages here, from 3-50. We all had so much fun. Generally, there isn't a wait time, but I've only been during the week.

Very fun place for some family fun! Easier and harder courses available

Beautiful area and well maintained trails. Get the map! Really enjoyed our stop, was looking for a place to stretch the legs on our trip. Only complaint was the prices, 25 per person seemed a bit much but they appear to put it back into the garden so take your time and enjoy all the nature. Butterfly and bee garden is beautiful!

This place was amazing. You definitely get your exercise. So many beautiful things to see from the tree house, to waterfalls, bridges, flower gardens... & so much more. Just Do It!!! 👍 *Buy your tickets online. It will save you $8 each

Absolutely stunning gardens with a good variety of themes and points of interest. I walked almost every bit of trail they had in just over three hours taking plenty of time to appreciate different spots. Even with the temperature around 90°, it was never oppressively hot under the canopy of trees. We got stopped for a good while by a peacock mating display. The Anthony Chapel was spectacular and we happened to catch the bell tower right at noon.

Beautiful gardens! Very nice staff! BUY TICKETS ONLINE TO SAVE $5/pp. Highlights include the treehouse! (def worth the hike down and up and where kids can play in the water/kids were having a blast the day we were there!), of course Anthony chapel (which was beautiful and serene, felt holy and reverent, not to mention a nice air condition respite after a challenging hot walk), koi pond, and the pollinator house section! Learned a lot there. Be prepared for a walk, and to sweat if it's sunny in June! Or temp was 90. I wouldn't go any hotter then that.

A truly serene escape! Garvan Woodland Gardens blends natural beauty with different styles of landscaping—from colorful floral paths to tranquil Japanese-inspired gardens. Peaceful trails, flowing water features, and the stunning Anthony Chapel make this a must-visit in Hot Springs

What an awesome experience. So many cool things to see and do. I would have come 2 days. Bummed that we waited until our last day of vacation. There are kid friendly areas with a water play area and a tree house with places to climb to mention a few. Miles of beautiful walking gardens with an assortment of paved, small gravel and stone paths. Waterfalls, koi pond, lake views, pavilions, and air-conditioned bathrooms. So many hidden gems. We had lunch at the Chipmunk Cafe on sight and were pleasantly surprised. I could go on, but you're tired of reading. 😁 Just go experience it for yourself!

Absolutely Magical Experience for Children and Adults Alike Our visit to the Woodland Gardens and Children’s Treehouse was truly out of this world. It’s one of the most beautiful, thoughtfully designed places we’ve ever been—and we’ve traveled a lot. The gardens are stunning, the trails are clean and peaceful, and the natural scenery is enhanced with the perfect touch of creativity—small waterfalls, creeks, bridges, and little details everywhere that make it feel like a dream. Our daughter absolutely loved the Children’s Treehouse and the peacocks walking freely near the restaurant area. The restaurant itself was surprisingly good and surrounded by gorgeous views. We spent about three to four hours there and would’ve stayed longer if our little one hadn’t needed a nap. It was peaceful, family-friendly, and filled with wonder at every turn. We went during the fall harvest season, and it was perfect. There was no over-the-top Halloween stuff (which we personally don’t enjoy)—just warm, cozy autumn charm everywhere. The miniature train display was another highlight—so cute and beautifully done. The only small downside was figuring out how to exit the property—it was a bit confusing—but everything else was excellent. One tip: buy your tickets online before you go. It’s cheaper and much easier than buying them in person. Also, they didn’t accept Apple Pay yet, which was a little inconvenient, but hopefully that will change soon. Overall, it was absolutely worth every penny. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and so happy we went.

It's a great collection of 80's and 90's memorabilia. There are a lot of Star Wars and different Marvel movie costumes and props. It is not that interactive. You get one Polaroid photo and you can wear a Jedi cloak and hold a nice light saber for a photo. You can play a retro game system. It's a short trip that's a little pricy, but the money goes to great causes. I think it's worth at least one visit if you are a fan. ****Update on reply from business. It was ment to be 4 stars not 3, sorry. The cost versus what we got was to high in my opinion. The tour was a little rushed. It took all of maybe 20-30 minutes for her to usher us through each room and speed through the spill for each. We were not allowed to touch or interact with enough stuff in my opinion to advertise as "interactive". Yes, we were allowed to walk back through on our own to take more time to look at things. We were allowed to play on the 3 working game consoles or the couple of arcade games available in turn with the other guests there. We spent about an hour there in total. It's not something I would do again for the money. It's definitely a one and done attraction, but nice if you are a retro or star wars fan. And we were told more things are being added in the future, so that might add more. Plus as mentioned, I love the charity aspect. This is why I gave 4 stars. 5 would have been for a little more time amd information spent on tour and a little more interactive options for the cost.

Oh man! This place rocks! So many wonderful childhood memories of toys, movies, figures, costumes, and cars. If you grew up in the 1970’s, 80’s, or 90’s you will definitely enjoy. Even the elementary kids enjoyed all the toys and different characters. Interactive for kids and adults. Highly recommend.

Title: A Journey Through Time - An Unforgettable Experience If you ever get the chance to attend do not hesitate—this was an absolutely fabulous and exhilarating experience that left me both inspired and delighted. From the moment I arrived, I was swept into a world where history comes alive, blending the past with vibrant, engaging activities that made every moment The attention to detail was impeccable, from authentic period costumes to meticulously recreated historical settings. It truly felt like stepping into a different era. What made it even more special was the opportunity to connect with others who shared the same enthusiasm and curiosity about history. The guides and organizers were not only knowledgeable but also passionate, bringing stories to life with vivid anecdotes and fascinating facts. I left feeling enriched, entertained, and eager to return. This is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of our collective past and a reminder of how far we’ve come. Everyone should go back and visit their childhood memories. Trust me, it’s an adventure you don’t want to miss!

Great experience! Diane did an awesome job showing us around the museum. As a kid from the 80’s, You won’t believe how much nostalgia you will have with everything.

Such a cool place! So much bigger than we expected, and the owner gives personal tours . Definitely must see while you’re in town!

We absolutely loved visiting galaxy connection. There is truly something for everyone and you can tell John is very knowledgeable about it all and loves what he does!

This museum is absolutely amazing! It took me back to my childhood. They also do good work in the community with the collection.

Anthony Chapel – Hot Springs, Arkansas Visiting Anthony Chapel was an absolutely magical experience. It’s truly a breathtaking work of art nestled in the natural beauty of Hot Springs. The architecture is stunning — the way the glass and wood blend seamlessly with the forest around it is something that mesmerizes you from the moment you walk in. It’s so peaceful and serene, I honestly felt like I could have sat there forever. Whether you're spiritual or simply someone who appreciates design and nature, this place will move you. I can’t wait to return again in the fall, when the leaves change — I can only imagine how beautiful it will be with all those colors surrounding the chapel. If you’re ever near Hot Springs, this is a must-see. Photos don’t do it justice — it’s something you have to feel in person.

We visited Anthony Chapel about a month ago on the last leg of a road trip we deemed The Arkansas Chapel Tour, where we visited all three of the big glass chapels (including Thorncrown, and the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel). Of the three, we actually voted Anthony Chapel in 3rd place. Don’t get me wrong - they are ALL amazing structures, each with their own unique style. For us, Anthony was the least accessible for those with mobility issues (gravel path, not close to parking, slight incline returning), and it was the one with the most activity, so the least peaceful visit. We loved the free roaming peacocks - they were fun to watch! We also loved the ceiling structure of this chapel. It was very interesting. We didn’t find any brochures here that gave info about the chapel as the other two had - details about the building, architects, how it came to be, etc. Maybe they were out of brochures when we visited, but all we found was a bridal booklet with info about weddings in the area. That would be a nice addition. Definitely go visit - and visit the other two as well!!

Anthony Chapel is a breathtaking gem nestled in the woods at Garvan Woodland Gardens. With its soaring glass-and-wood architecture, it feels like stepping into a cathedral of nature—sunlight dances off lofty beams, and forest vistas surround you. Exceptionally peaceful and visually stunning, it’s free to visit (unless a private event is underway) and offers an unforgettable, serene escape. A must-see if you’re in Hot Springs.

It’s a gorgeous little walk around. Be aware that it a wedding is going on, you can’t get near. Security will be there. The gardens are $30 per person which might be worth it to some and not to others. Plenty of parking in the area though. It is definitely somewhere to go visit when you are in the area, especially if you are artistic.

Absolutely stunning. Tucked into the woods, Anthony Chapel is peaceful, elegant, and breathtaking in person.

Amazing architecture! I wish we could have some of these in TX as well. Tip: it is actually free to go here and appreciate the view but check their availability since this is usually booked for private events, you can always visit the Garvan woodlands garden for a fee in case you’re not lucky

Beautiful chapel within the Garvan Woodland Gardens. Amazing architecture and setting. We were confused about entering the chapel. We had read reviews that it was free to enter however we observed security questioning people exiting the chapel area on whether they had purchased tickets to the garden. We did purchase tickets and were glad we did because the gardens were also beautiful.

This was such a cute little display. I love that the son of the gentleman that built it was there to explain how his father had put it all together. The nice lady at the front desk was kind and patient with my little ones. It didn’t take long to see but the kids went around the whole thing a few times and loved pushing all the buttons. A must see if you have a little train enthusiast in the family.

This was a great stop on our trip to Hot Springs. The attention to detail and creativity of each tiny piece is extraordinary! The moving piece are fascinating. The sweet lady that guided us was full of information about the exhibit.

Tiny Town was so interesting. The large scale model trains, villages, and people were awesome with little details everywhere. The lady working up front was very nice and had funny stories. The little shop in the front had some cool items for sale.

Don't miss this fascinating town in miniature with several model trains, detailed landscapes, shops, buildings, airplanes, cars, people, and a Pennsylvania farm. It is enormous and meticulously constructed! Hot Springs ought to house this in a special building on Central and support its care and maintenance for all to see. Jefferson Texas is a great example how this can be done.

This place is AMAZING! My 7(m) & 8(f) yo kids absolutely loved it. The lady giving the tour was very informative and made it enjoyable.

We are 39 & 37 and loved this and its story! Incredible how long ago, what this was all made from and it still functions. Absolutely incredible and so glad it’s still on exhibit

Amazing place to visit. The details on the town are awesome. The young lady was sweet and informative on the history of tiny town. The fact her grandfather hand carved most of the people and recycled so many everyday objects to create the the town was amazing. Loved the interactive buttons.

Sure, we all love Hot Springs, Arkansas for its natural beauty and the restorative, healing spring waters found here; however, you will find that the real fountain of inspiration, awe, and wonder resides within the walls of Maxwell Blade’s Theatre of Magic and Curiosity Museum. Blade’s show doesn’t disappoint. It is exactly what you think it will be and more. He is truly a master of illusion, and his show is the best, most fun experience this town has to offer. You will leave mystified and thinking about the tricks, performers, and show long after it ends. Long live Maxwell Blade and the historic Malco Theatre!

What a fun show in a historic theatre! Everyone in our party (ages 10-51) thoroughly enjoyed themselves, but I think it was probably the 10-year-old's favorite part of our entire trip. Maxwell Blade, his cast, and the theatre staff were all awesome and the theatre itself is very cool. So glad we went! If you see the bad reviews, just remember you're seeing a magic show in Hot Springs, Arkansas - it's not Vegas. We feel like we saw a great show for the price paid and everyone had a good time. :)

I have been going to Hot Springs for the last 10 plus years I see his show at least every other year .Its always great time I even landed in a promo video once I had people from my home town asking me about it because they saw me in it and I alway recommended going . I wish he and his staff well in the future.

The Maxwell Blade Theatre of Magic & Comedy is an absolute must do when visiting Hot Springs! From the moment the show began, I was hooked, laughing at the quick wit, marveling at the jaw-dropping illusions, and completely drawn into the world Maxwell creates on stage. His blend of humor, music, and mind blowing magic is unlike anything else you’ll experience. I left the theatre feeling lighter, brighter, and genuinely amazed. It’s more than just a show, it’s an unforgettable experience that stays with you long after the final curtain call. If you’re in Hot Springs, do yourself a favor and make this part of your trip. Truly a must see!

Must-see Show! This was our second time coming to Maxwell Blade while visiting Hot Springs. The show is so entertaining and we will definitely come back if we visit Hot Springs again! Maxwell Blade really cares about the kids. My son asked him to do his hair after the show and he did not hesitate to get the hair spray. My son was so excited and happy! MB and JE are amazing magicians and entertainers. Highly recommend both shows!

Our grandson loves magic!! Our granddaughter is not so much. Maxwell Blade is so personable with the audience and after the show with autographs. Both kids are huge fans now!! It was a night they will never forget!!

Honestly, you're missing out if you skip this special on you next Hot Springs adventure. Maxwell keeps the energy flowing through the entire evening with his enthusiastic stage presentation, and performance. Great helpful and friendly staff throughout. It's truly a evening of laughter, and magic well worth your time. Fun for all ages! Added bonus: great wine selection, and top tier popcorn.

The food was okay... nothing to write home about, but the atmosphere? Absolutely iconic. I will note the spicy green beans were SO GOOD. The Ohio Club is dripping with history, and if you're even slightly into vintage charm, mobster lore, or old barroom vibes, you'll be hooked. From the massive hand-carved mahogany bar that was hauled here by barge and horse (yes, really), to the wild stories of gangsters, gamblers, and even presidents hanging out here...this place is a living time capsule. Every corner has something cool to look at, and you can feel the stories in the walls. Drinks were solid and definitely worth the price, staff was friendly, and even though the food didn’t blow us away, it’s still a great lunch stop just for the ambiance and the conversation starter it is. You don’t just eat here ... you step into history.

Iconic bar restaurant on bath House Alley. Drinks are a little pricey, they also sell glasses and t-shirts and even charge for small stickers. If I drop $50 at the bar and leave a $15 tip, it sure would be nice if you would give me a $2 sticker. Unfortunately, that's the impression I left with. Next time I'm in Hot Springs I'll give it another shot.

Food and service were excellent. Our server Ryan was fantastic. Took the time to answer our questions and tell us a bit about the restaurant/bar. Dinner and drinks were great. And the Fried Pies for dessert were the best!

Decently crowded when we went for lunch. I haven't experienced it at night or late night, so maybe its different during those hours. But, for lunch, its overpriced. None of the food was bad or anything like that. Just average to good bar food but a few dollars more expensive per dish than normal. Ill try and go back at night for a different experience, but not for lunch.

Went on a Saturday Evening to take the wife out for her Birthday dinner. Really good atmosphere and food. I got the hangover burger and she got the Hawaiian burger we both enjoyed and ate every bite. Got to enjoy some good live local music later that day. Will definitely be back to try out other things on the menu. If you enjoy a good burger and beer this is the place to go.

Not a lathe place but the atmosphere is amazing. If you want to see where a real OG ended up after leaving New York, check it these digs. The food was better than most bar food. The drinks were spendy but well made. The staff was really friendly and informative. We enjoyed this spot and the history is real. Check it out when you're in Hot Springs, Bathouse Row. There are places to get cheaper drinks but honestly, the story of this spot is worth the upcharge.

Wonderful drinks. Wonderful food. Wonderful people. Wonderful atmosphere. This place was great! So glad me and my girlfriend found this place traveling through on our way to Isabella, MO. Highly recommend this place! So much history! Oh and they have friendly ghosts that hang out!

A few weekends ago I took 2 of my grandsons to play mini golf. They also did the bumper boats. They had so much fun till one of them bumped their head. The man i talked to at the counter offered my grandson a bag of ice for his bump and even offered to refund us 3 extra tokens we had since we were having to leave. The whole place was clean and the staff was very nice. We will definitely be back with my other 3 grandchildren from Texarkana to have some fun.

Had an awesome time! Games all work, super clean! Go karts are fast and the staff friendly! Cold icees and hot soft pretzels— we will be back! Was with my mom and 4 year old.

Nice little gaming arcade to spend few hours with family . They have go carts which are fun. You can ride the go-cart 2 seater with kids. Boat smash is also fun activity for kids.

We got there right at opening and were basically the only ones there. The guy who helped us choose what wristbands/tickets to choose was super friendly and helpful. The other staff were just younger high school kids who weren't excited to be there and it showed. We spent about $150 and both my kids did everything once and we had 10 tickets to split between us four adults. They had a good time!

Took the kids to here . We had blast . Just needed a day of being a kid to with them loves it had a blast

Great family fun. Mini golf , go karts , laser tag and the bumper boats are reasonably priced. However, the arcade is WAY over priced. The games are about 3 dollars and up. Pre play. Good portion of them are 5 dollars. So if you get a 40 card, (they gave you 10 dollars) but that doesn't matter when its 5 a piece. So that goes by rather fast. Stick with the attractions.

Found exactly what I needed. The guy was very helpful. I did have to order speakers and will get them Saturday but he helped me pick the right speakers for my new Technics turntable that I got there as well.

I honestly had a great time.It was only four of us doing the zip lining tour. Our guides were very helpful, insightful, and amazing. I highly recommended.I definitely want to try the night time zipline tour. I honestly can't remember their names.But thank you for making our honeymoon trip amazing.

We did the Halloween Zip Line Tour at 8:00 PM and had an absolute blast! There were a total of 10 zip lines, and it was such a thrilling experience — zipping through the dark almost felt like flying into the void! A huge shoutout to PJ and Nadia, our amazing guides. They were fun, informative, patient, and super attentive, making sure everyone felt safe and had a great time. Their energy really made the whole experience even better! The tour starts off with two easier zips to help you get comfortable before the bigger, faster ones kick in — and that’s when the real excitement begins. We’d never done a night zip line before, and I’m so glad we didn’t miss out. They also have water coolers at perfect spots along the way, which was a nice touch. The whole adventure lasted about two hours, and it was the perfect mix of spooky, exciting, and fun. Highly recommend Adventureworks Hot Springs if you’re looking for something unique and unforgettable to do in the area!

First time ziplining and it was such a great experience! We went November and the colors of the trees was beautiful-- zipping through it was scenic. Tommy and Keeley were our guides, and they were so funny, professional and made everything so comfortable! They really knew how to calm your nerves encouragingly. They really made the experience so memorable! 5/5 would recommend Adventureworks-- no complaints.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience ziplining with Tommy and Keely this weekend! We chose to go in the morning, and the weather was perfect making the overall experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, the duo demonstrated excellent expertise, ensuring that safety was always their top priority, giving us the Southwest Airlines experience. They made us feel comfortable and confident, providing clear instructions and support throughout the course. Both Tommy and Keely were incredibly friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, keeping the energy high and the atmosphere fun for everyone in our group. The course itself was well-maintained, and they clearly knew every detail of the layout, making it a smooth and exciting adventure. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced zipliner, I highly recommend Adventureworks. I would definitely do it again and look forward to more adventures with this team!

We had an amazing time! Took our kids for their birthdays & it was fun for the whole family. We had two amazing Zipline instructors PJ & Avery. They were great. Very friendly, funny, & informative. 10/10 recommend going. We definitely will be going again!

I went with two of my girlfriends, all in our mid-60s and first time to zip line, so we were a little nervous. We lucked into having PJ and Tommy as our guides and could not have had a better experience! They made us feel so at ease and we all shared lots of laughs. And the zip lining was a perfect level for “first timers”. So much fun. Thanks PJ and Tommy!!!!

My kids and I loved our zip lining experience with Brett and Stephanie! They were fun and professional while ensuring our safety. Highly recommend them and the location, even in the crazy heat and humidity. 😁 We would love to go back for the moonlight tour!

Very nice idea, and gave us some entertainment in hot springs, and had a friendly staff. I give it a 4/5 because the area for all of it was very dark, the figures looks super old and is a bit of a dated environment. Overall, I enjoyed it and it had some cool figures, but when compared to a museum like the one in Branson it just doesn’t meet the same standards. It is however pretty cheap being $15.

We went in here on a Saturday afternoon. Admission was very reasonable, I think $30 for two adults. We were the only people inside, which I liked. It was dark and creepy and chilly, which I liked. Some of the scenes were unhinged, which I really liked. In short, this was my favorite attraction in Hot Springs. If you are strange and unusual like I myself am, you will like this place too. Be sure not to miss Arkansas’s first escalator (no longer in working condition) and a vinyl copy of an Ann-Margret album that is on display because she was romantically involved with some dude who worked there

My child and I enjoyed the entire museum. We didnt visit the horror side, by choice. It is a must see!

Took my 15 and my 8 year old sons and to start with my 8 year old was freaking out big time! But I told him we'd be in the seeing some Disney characters so he chilled out some... When he finally got to the wax Disney characters he lit up with excitement!!! He absolutely loved to see all the ones they had!!! My 15 yr old said it was "pretty cool" lol... They also have VR(virtual reality) there! So we did the reverse bungee jump well I attempted it but had to stop midway 🤣 and then they did Pinocchio's adventure after the reverse bungee jump... This was my second time to go. I wanted my kids to experience it so definitely recommend it for any age!!!

Nice museum. Wax figures were cool to see. There were some that looked a little off. Not something I would go out of the way for.

Nice little piece of history in this exhibit. Over 100 wax figurines and a brief history of the city's gambling ring throughout the 30s and 40s. There's a free wine tasting after the tour where you can sample some of the original "shine-wine" that Al Capone used to drink

We came to check out their wine tasting that they offer! Their moonshine wine is amazing!! We had to pick up a case! Definitely recommend going in to try it out! Trish made it a great experience and she definitely deserves a raise for all the work she does! ;) Definitely stop by and check it out! Make sure you ask to see the tunnel! We didn’t check out the wax museum or the duck tour but I did get a picture of the stair of stars.

Mountain vibes! We trekked the Sunset Trail in Hot Springs National Park on 22nd March 2025 to experience the beauty of the Hot Springs’ mountains. This is the longest trail in this National Park which is moderately challenging because of its length. The trail spans three major roads making it a sort of segmented route: West Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Stonebridge Road. We began the trek from the Gulpha Gorge campground in an anticlockwise direction. This is a 13.5-mile loop trail type with 2385 ft elevation gain that leads us through town, along roads, and across several other trails. There were large stretches of flat terrain and long, gentle ascents throughout the route. We really liked the characters in the Sugarloaf mountains and Balanced Rock trail. Throughout the trail we found variety of wild flowers and branches with light pink blossoms. With the stunning views, we relished our snack on the Balanced Rock trail. After around 10-mile of trekking we crossed two scenic overlooks to reach the Canyon trail. As the trail descends it leads to the historic town of Hot Springs where we stopped at the hot water cascade to see the area's ancient geological past and some of its famous landmarks including the Arlington Hotel. We then proceeded to the campground via the Upper Dogwood and Gulpha Gorge trails. The Gulpha Gorge trail features good descent and switchbacks. The entire trail is well maintained and properly marked. It took us about 9 hours to finish the trek. Overall, the whole trail doesn’t have much impression on us but we had a good time. Suggestions- 1) Please check the weather forecast and check the trail conditions from the park's website. 2) Start the trek little earlier. 3) Please wear sturdy shoes. Although we didn't use hiking poles on every section of the trail, but we believe it would be wise to have them on hand in case knee support is required. 4) Please bring snack and adequate water for this trek. 5) Please follow the principles of Leave No Trace.

It was a long trail with a nice scenic view at starting point. There are shorter trails as well. It took 8 hours to hime ~16 miles (lost my trail 😂). At a point there was river, where it was fun to walk in ice-cold water in the hot weather. It was really a great fun. Be careful about ticks.

This is a nice trail but it has some steep parts that are not switchbacks; however it isn't too long. We saw several birds including an owl.

Good long hike!! Makes the most of the mountains in the park. We started at the balanced rock trail head instead of grapa gorge. This hike had some strenuous up hill sections as well as some nice long gentle slopes. be warned the the actual sunset trail is only a portion of this hike as sunset trail only runs from west rim look out to grapa gorge campground. This loop takes you through town, along roads, and across a number of other trails to make it a loop. easy to get lost or turned around if you arnt paying attention. Over all a good hike. Lack of clarity on the trails and the long sections along roads and through town is a little lackluster but i think it makes the most of this relatively small national park.

We enjoyed sunset hike! It was pretty, with the occasional view of the valley. I will warn you, the first quarter mile is STEEP and very rocky, which makes it easy to slip, especially on the way down! I wouldn’t bring little kids here, it’s not super kid friendly (I brought my son (8) and he did great, but I also had my daughter (2) and she fell a lot due to the uneven and steep climb. So keep that in mind! If it’s just adults and kids that are a bit older, you’ll have a great time!

Hiked to music mountain, the tallest point in Hot Springs national park along the sunset trail during sunset. The views were amazing and no one was on the trail, it started to cool off and feel nice outside. We were hiking fast to finish before the sun went down. Highly suggested hike

Nice trail for walking, running or family hiking. Watch for horse droppings, as this trail is frequented by riders. Pleasant overlook at the west mountain summit, with benches and railing. Parking sparse but roadside parking available.

I visited here about 30 years ago. It was an upscale place with lots of tourists there for the bathhouses but even as a kid it was fun and left an impression. I understand things change, but no where in the online reviews did I see anything that prepared me for the extreme difference. Hot Springs is nasty! Dirty, run down, buildings in various degrees of abandonment and decay, with a troubling number of homeless people. I was shocked and so disappointed. It was not the getaway I’d hoped for. Seriously save yourself the money and stay somewhere else.

I always enjoy my trips to Hot Springs! Yearly Hog Ralley 🏍, local wine 🍷 thats sold only in Hot Springs, Spa's💆‍♀️, and amazing place to find antiques!! God Bless y'all! ❤

Love this town! @bchotspringer

So on Thursday 5/15/25 at around 5:30 pm my daughter 23yr old went to buy wine. Traveled from Houston to Chicago stopped by and was denied to charge my phone that was on 3% lady said her boss would get mad at her if he would find out! I usually buy 12 bottles and continue my journey every 4 months but after a simple refusal of a minor service I will never recommend. A common courtesy is highly valued and respected! The woman clearly didn’t care! So I went to fisherman’s wharf and they gladly let me charge while I was dinning in.!

Nice little place with even some souvenirs. The guy running the tasting was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Even took the time to engage our daughter that was with us but too young to sample. Most of the wines were good, just not all to our tasting, so we only left with a couple bottles of the one we liked.

Very very sweet wines. The staff was very friendly and it was nice that the tastings are free. The wines, though, are not for me. All of their wines are very sweet, even their dry Merlot. I would consider these more like party wines or wines to be made into spritzers. These are not wines for fine dining or pairing with your dinner. If you like sweet wines, then you will probably like these.

We did the tasting on Tuesday afternoon and had a blast! My in-laws, husband, and I had such a great time tasting all the different wines, as well as their muscadine hot honey! We bought several of the wines, the hot honey, AND their muscadine grape juice to take home. Our tasting lady was from Louisiana and she was a hoot! Don’t sleep on this place!

My husband and I went yesterday to try some wines. There was no one in there but the one lady working there. She was very rude from the moment we walked in the door. It was like we were such an inconvenience. How dare we bother her.. we immediately walked out without getting to taste or purchase anything.

Very friendly and amazing wine. Love the store layout also. :)

Both locations are wonderful. The staff at both are very polite and very helpful. I came home with a case of there sweet white wine. Cheers

I recently visited this winery for a taste testing and had a fantastic time! Our server was absolutely amazing - super funny, helpful, and even offered to take our picture! The wine selection was decent, and while I only found two wines that really stood out to me, I appreciated the opportunity to try several varieties. One valuable takeaway was discovering that muscadine grapes aren't my cup of tea - good to know for future wine tastings! The real gem, however, was the recommendation to try the Southern Club Moonshine Wine (apparently their sister company?). We LOVED every single one of their wines! I'd definitely suggest checking them out. Overall, I'd recommend this winery for their exceptional customer service and the potential to discover some great wines. Thanks for the tasting experience!

My wife and I visited the winery when we were at Hot Springs National Park, and walking the downtown area. We did a tasting of all of their varietals, and really enjoyed them all. Ultimately we picked our 4 favorite and purchased those. The wines are really good, and very reasonably priced.

Great experience! I’m more of a dry wine girl, but I was very fond of a few wines I wouldn’t normally try! They do offer free tastings, which is awesome because then you know exactly what you want to buy! I bought the Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and the Merlot! We walked in with a group of 7 and they let all of us try every wine!

The wines were cheap in taste and our host Hazel was clearly high: rocking back and forth, grabbing at her hair, and starting off into nothing and sniffing something back into her nose. No water was provided to cleanse the palette between tasting different wines to not muddle the flavors, not even when tasting a red after a white and the same glasses were used for each wine— further mixing the flavors. Unprofessional and uncomfortable.

Did a wine tasting by Chris, he did so well! It was so tasty, even the ones that weren’t my favorite were still tasty. They have such good wines here, and great service! We had such a good time! We got the Red, and a white wine!

We took a shopping day down Hot Springs’ Historic Downtown and were happy to accidentally stumble upon this winery! We enjoyed a free tasting of wonderful wine and muscadine hot sauce. Even used indulged in both back at our campsite, per the recommendation of the fella working there. Thanks for showing two Texans a great time!

Great experience these lady's (lori and alicia) was awesome and had a great time with them.

When you play any table games make very sure you know the rules bc the dealer may not and it will cost you. I played 3 card poker for three hours. The dealer needs a queen or higher to "qualify" their hand, meaning to put their hand against yours. If they do not qualify then you get your play money back and paid out for your ante and the side bets if you have and hit them. When my dealer was not qualifying her hand she would give back my play money but take my ante. I didn't know and she was dealer, so I assumed she was right. Another lady sat down and caught it first hand and called over the floor boss. They called up and she was pulled from table. I never got any money but at that time I was so pissed off that I left table. My loss for your awareness. If I ever do go back I'd sit with the older locals who know the games better than dealers do.

My husband and I had never been to a casino before but we hope that they are all as wonderful as Oaklawn! The dealers were very understanding about our lack of knowledge and helped us to have the best experience by explaining the rules. We played quite a bit of blackjack and had an excellent time! The service was attentive without being overbearing. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Hot Springs!

Definitely not what I was expecting. Most casinos give freeplay or something for your first time coming, but not here. Didn't get nothing but a card. Plus drinks are not free when you play and I found out the hard way. Already losing money then get hit with a $16 Bill for a crown & coke!!! I could've gotten a pint for that much! So this is definitely not the place for me...I'll stick with Tunica and West Memphis!

We stayed for 3 nights at the hotel and gambled a little in the casino. It’s hard to beat the casino; especially when a winning ticket gets stolen by the hotel maid service. I know, I know, we should have not let a measly $39 ticket unattended in the room but still, it was our ticket, it was our property! We immediately reported the missing ticket, and got the run around right away, and during the rest of our stay. They didn’t even enter and clean the room after. We were told things like: • “Was it supposed to be a tip?” No, it was not a tip it was our winning ticket from the previous night that we did not redeem 1st thing in the morning! • “ I would not have left the ticket on the TV stand if it were me” That one came from the hotel desk. . . That’s true but we did, it was ours and your staff stole the ticket! • “We will look into it, find out the maid who entered your room and get back to you” They did not get back to us, not over he next day and a half before we checked out, nor did they even mention it when we did. • We wrote an email to management and still no response. So, y’all, we would not stay again at this hotel! They do not care about your belongings, which only encourages the theft by the staff.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend. We had fun at the casino, relaxed at the spa, and had a delicious dinner at The Bugler. The room service was professional and prompt. My only complaint is having used toilet paper and used panty liners in the bathroom drawer in the room we stayed in.

My Fiance and I were staying in the area from Texas. We decided to hit the Casino up out of Pure Boredom. What a Mistake!! The Silk Bartender ( i think Kelly or Kaley) was awesome. All the others Bartenders seemed blasted out of their minds. In the meantime there was an altercation Where Spencer ( Security) did nothing but mock the situation to make it a horrible experience. Completely Unstable and we both felt Unsafe being there once we made it to our room. We will not be returning to Oaklawn again.

Nice hotel, spacious room, kind staff, plenty to do and see in the area. Booked a massage, facial, mani & pedi, and got to use the amenities at the Astral Spa. Spa experience was lovely, the staff was very helpful and kind. Pricing for spa services is too high in my opinion. May or may not be back.
