Explore Hot Springs!

Nestled in the Ouachita Mountains, Hot Springs is overflowing with natural beauty, entertainment and history. Nature lovers can check out Hot Springs National Park in between breakout sessions, or take an afternoon drive through the city to see the gorgeous fall foliage. If you're a history buff, you're in luck! Wander over to the Mountain Valley Springs Water Museum and Visitor's Center after unpacking your bags and go say hi to the folks at the Gangster Museum of America just down the street. Foodies can rejoice as well with no shortage of delectable options to choose from.
