Bathhouse Row takes you back to an earlier era when people came to Hot Spring for recreation and restoration, as well as the healing powers attributed to the springs. The National Park Service has done a fine job restoring and preserving the last generation of bath houses, at least one of which is still in operation. If you've wanted to... More

Love the hot spring pool as it trickles down from the mountain. The trees were just starting to bloom and was so pretty. We walked the trails, then went over to the Arlington Hotel to sit on the veranda and people watch. Right next to bathhouse row.

My wife and I stopped at Hot Springs National Park on our way north through Arkansas. It wasn't quite what I expected as in “National Park'. It's smack dab in the middle of the town and a collection of the old spas which have been restored into a variety of spas, and bars, etc. It was very pleasant and you... More

The views from hot springs nnational park are breath taking! The short, but curvy and well maintained roads take you up to some breath taking views of Hot Springs. You can see the whole area from an enclosed elevator operated tower. Learn about the history of Hot Springs while looking at the great scenery. Always besutiful anytime of year!

I really expected a park, but was more of an urban park. The town grew around the park that consists of a row of old time bath houses that are large and exotic plus the area of the springs Which is a green space and most beautiful. Some houses were still in use some were being renovated some were awaiting... More

I was VERY disappointed that this was closed as I had looked forward to going here specifically. I have a National Park Passport that I get stamped & buy stickers for when I'm at a National Park so didn't get to do that plus I was looking forward to seeing and reading the info in the Welcome Center.

The downtown hiking trail and park adjacent to the Arlington Hotel is an absolute "Must See" for all Hot Springs visitors. Kids can dip their toes in several beautiful (but VERY hot) natural fountains flowing out of the gorgeous Ouachita Mountains here in this old historic city.

Buckstaff Bathouses on bathouse row is still fully functioning, and offers both mineral baths and massages. I got a Swedish massage. It was very enjoyable and relaxing and well worth the price. There are several quaint specialty shops along the opposite side of the road facing Bathouse Row. Also, the drive between I-40 and the park is beautiful.

We spent a couple of hours in Hot Springs National Park. Worthwhile if you're in Hot Springs, but I don't know that I'd make a special trip. The lookout tower is nothing special (but costs $7/person). There are some decent short hikes. We hiked down from the tower on the 0.6-mile Peak trail. Trail was mostly gravel, had some decent... More
