I enjoyed my trip to Hot Springs National Park. Staff at the Visitor Center was very friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. I found it interesting to learn more about the glory times of this place during my visit, it is quite obvious however that these days are long gone ... Manage your expectations when going there, this is not Yellowstone or Glacier National Park but still worth visiting.

Not a whole lot to see, but just a few hot springs and trails and the historical buildings. It was a crisp cool winter day and just a very very nice day for seeing a national park.

The "Park" is actually the historic downtown of Hot Springs, with the main attraction being the massive hotel/spas; plus some walking and jogging trails nearby (and hot springs). There, of course, is no fee to enter the town. I loved the (fascinating) tour and movie (but dont know if kids would care). The main street passes thru everything you will want to see, and it's easy to just park and walk it. On one side are the small shops and eateries, and on the other side are the grassy lawns and the Grand Promenade, with benches, and drinking fountains that bring fresh water from the springs to drink or fill your bottles; and yes, it tastes good. The most memorable thing to do is to go into the 20th century bathhouses (National Historic Landmark District) and see the Gilded Age architecture and the stories of how they treated visitors; and then take a bath treatment yourself next door. It's all fairly inexpensive and a once in a lifetime experience. It's not like a luxury spa; more like a hospital. They draw water from the underground hotsprings, which is therapeutic. Hint: Fordyce Bathhouse serves as the Natl. Park's visitor center; the Buckstaff and Quapaw are the only ones still operating as bathhouses. The Arlington Hotel has a wide grand wrap around porch; and two ok-priced cafes inside, to enjoy the grand architecture.

Great for hiking, and for history buffs. The Tower is a must-see with some great views. I would also recommend hiking the sunset trail out to Balanced Rock - gorgeous!

We went to hot springs on our honeymoon. We love this town. The park is so clean. Very scenic. You Can Hear The Water flowing. Downtown and close to everything.

We have seen several National Parks and this one is unique! Trails were beautiful and enjoyed the peaks at the hot springs bubbling up. Loved the architecture and history of the old bath houses and treated ourselves at the Quapaw spa. Very nice and definitely worth the trip.

The National Park Service has done a wonderful job of keeping the 1920 bath house experience alive in Hot Springs. All those treasures would be lost if the NPS didn't own them. A wonderful step back into time.

We spent the better part of a day here. We checked out the bath houses first, then took a picnic and hiked up to the picnic area under the tower. It was pretty steep for my seven year old, but was she pretty excited in the end that she had "climbed a mountain". After eating we explored several trails. Great way to spend a day.

And it goes all thru the historical district downtown. There are walking and jogging trails all over, a promenade and benches to sit, and water from the springs to drink and fill your bottles with all over, hot and cold. There are so many varieties of plants and trees to look at, and you can spend hours there...

good, simple hikes with pools of hot springs to enjoy. be careful though --- water is very, very hot! I found out after I dunked my feet!
