Lamar Bathhouse on Bathhouse Row in Hot Springs, Arkansas

A place worth knowing

Make room for Hot Springs.

Build a Hot Springs day around the historic bathhouse setting, a garden visit or hands-on learning. The national park and operating bath businesses have different arrangements. Give each place time, choose an exact visitor entrance and leave room for a local meal.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.
