Arkansas Museum Of Natural Resources

I remember going here as a kid and had the opportunity to take my own kids back this summer. If you are driving by it is a great place to stop. It is completely free, although they do accept donations. There is so much to see and learn as well as a hands on area for kids. There is a replica of an old town with different businesses to explore and an interactive elevator that lets you “shrink down” Magic School bus style as you learn about how oil is made. It has changed so much since I was a kid. I was thoroughly impressed! We all had a lot of fun and learned a lot in the process.
