Welcome!

In the city of North Little Rock, we like to say, “we’re always up to something,” and you’ll find that to be true. Nightlife, art and outdoors collide here. We make it easy to find what you need: visit our website, www. northlittlerock.org, download our free travel app (Explore North Little Rock!) and follow us on social (@exploreNLR) for upcoming events, nearby dining, insiders’ tips and recommendations.

In the Argenta Arts District — our downtown Main Street area — you’ll find 10 local restaurants and breweries, theaters, shops and galleries. Hop on a vintage-style yellow streetcar, enjoy libations and live music, and experience Argenta Plaza’s water features, swings and cool lights. Throughout downtown, you’ll see new murals by local artists popping up, including one with dogs proclaiming “Dogtown Proud” (it’s a long story, but we’re happy to tell it). North Little Rock is much bigger than our downtown, including the up-and-coming neighborhood of Park Hill; authentic Mexican and South American taquerias in our Levy neighborhood and breathtaking views of the Arkansas River from the Emerald Park cliffs.

Other must-sees in our beautiful city include:

• Activities for all. During the summer, enjoy the favorite American pastime of baseball with Minor League Baseball team the Arkansas Travelers at DickeyStephens Park. Take family photos at the gorgeous Old Mill (free and open daily!) or visit the St. Joseph Farm Stand on Saturdays to shop, meet the animals and learn about sustainable farming.

• Unlimited ways to explore. Go by bike, by kayak, on foot. Throw a disc, swing a racquet, kick a soccer ball, play with your dog. Voted “Best Park” and runner-up “Best Place to Mountain Bike” in Arkansas by Arkansas Times readers, Burns Park is an impressive 1,700-acre park with golf and disc golf courses, dog park, pedestrian trails, tennis courts and numerous playgrounds. The Arkansas River Trail is a scenic 17-mile loop crossing pedestrian and cyclist-friendly bridges. Even take a guided sunset kayak tour or stand-up paddleboard yoga on the Arkansas River.

• Face-to-face with history. At the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum, see the National Historic Landmark USS Hoga, a tugboat that fought fires after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Also tour the longest-serving submarine in the world, USS Razorback. Everything you want to know about North Little Rock’s colorful past can be found at the North Little Rock Heritage Center.

We hope you enjoy your visit to the city of North Little Rock! Stop by the North Little Rock Welcome Center at 600 Main St. in North Little Rock, let us know if you have any questions during your visit, and shop souvenirs and local products.
