Believe it or not, I'm going over this Sunday for work and will be there through Wed. (Sept. 18th - 21st). I'll be more than happy to see what's available on Sundays. Is your trip still on ?

Take Care.

Hi Susie.

Back from my trip a day early. I can tell you that there are definetly some spas open on Sunday. The hours are from 7:00 to 2:00 on Sundays. The Arlington Hotel or Buckstaff have these hours. Embassy hours are 8:00 to 4:00 on Sundays. If you want to call to see if you need resevations here's the phone #'s.
Arlington Hotel = 1-800-643-1502
Buckstaff = (501)623-2308
Embassy Suites = (501) 624-9200

I also brought back a booklet on other attractions and will be happy to mail that to you if you would like. Just drop me a mailing address.

Have fun. It was hot this past weekend, but hopefully in a few weeks it will cool off a bit for you.

Take Care.

Terry

This answer is past due--I know, but for future reference: Hot Springs is a very short distance from Little Rock (a little over an hour). They have several spas and some open on Sundays--though few. Arlington Hotel is the most popular, but I have heard bad reviews. There are others, though. Just remember, these spas are very very old and have alot of history, just not so asthetically pleasing as you might expect.

Travel Tips for Hot Springs

Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo

by jedd43

Visit the Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo. There are alligators from 6 inches to 10 feet long! There is also a petting zoo. At the petting zoo, there were monkeys to feed. They were in cages...a row on the top and one on the bottom. I was feeding a monkey in one of the bottom cages when one monkey on the top reached out and pulled my hair!! LOL That is one of the things that stands out in my mind about this trip!

Go Hiking!

by sweetheart519

Our favorite part of our short visit to Hot Springs was hiking in the mountains. There are several trails of different length. The one we did was about a mile long. It really is beautiful, and the trails seem fairly safe (i.e. no sharp cliffs, clearly marked trails). Just be sure to look at the map before you start out so you know where to go when two trails intersect.

This is a non profit entity affiliated with Univ of Arkansas. Entry to the garden is $7.75 for senior, but there are discount coupons to be found. The walk take you through a trail of about 1 1/2 miles. It has many colorful areas, and special plants to feature along the way. Pavilions and bridges also are to be seen. It is a very nice presentation and throughout the year various flowers are sprouting. During the season they have daffodils, camellias, azaleas, wild flowers, and every day other colorful flowers.
