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.
