The Arkansas Travelers

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:51:19 GMT

Catch a Game with the Travs! April - September

Come Hang Out with the Travs!

If you find yourself with a free evening, you’ve got to make your way over to a game to see the Arkansas Travelers. Most of us just call them the Travs, and honestly, there’s never been a better time to join the crowd. Since they’re the reigning 2024 Texas League Champs, the atmosphere at the park is buzzing—there’s just something special about the energy in the stands right now!

The Travelers have been around since 1901, so they’re a huge part of Little Rock’s soul. Back in the '50s, they actually became the first pro team in the country to be named after an entire state rather than just a city. The name itself comes from that old "Arkansas Traveler" folk tale and song you might have heard of.

They play at Dickey-Stephens Park, which is a fantastic place to spend a summer night. It holds about 7,300 people, but my favorite way to watch is grabbing a spot on the grassy berm with a blanket.

The best part? It’s not just for die-hard baseball fans.

The season runs all the way through September, and the park is set up for everyone:

For the kids: There’s a dedicated Kids Park and a splash pad to keep them cool while you watch the innings fly by.
For the grown-ups: Head over to the Beer Garden for a cold drink and a great view.

It’s basically the quintessential Arkansas summer experience. Grab some peanuts and enjoy the game!

The Arkansas Diamonds are a professional arena football team based in Hot Springs, Arkansas, that serves as a cornerstone franchise of The Arena League (TAL). Originally founded as the Hot Springs Wiseguys, the team rebranded in August 2025 to embrace a broader state-wide identity while maintaining their home base at the Bank OZK Arena. Under the leadership of 2025 Coach of the Year Bones Bagaunte, the Diamonds have quickly become a powerhouse, finishing their inaugural season as league runners-up in Arena Mania II.

The Arena League itself is a high-energy professional indoor football circuit designed to prioritize speed, scoring, and fan engagement. Unlike traditional football, the league features a unique 6-on-6 format played on a 50-yard padded surface. To keep the action non-stop, the league eliminated kicking entirely, meaning teams must go for it on every fourth down and attempt scorable conversions after touchdowns. Many players compete on both sides of the ball under "Ironman" rules, emphasizing versatile athleticism and making the Arkansas Diamonds' fast-paced home games a premier sports attraction in the region.

Stop by Superior Bathhouse Brewery. It’s the only brewery in the world located inside a National Park, and they actually use the spring water to brew their beer. Trust me, you can taste the difference!

History

Hot Springs wasn’t always just about relaxation. Back in the day, it was a massive gambling hub.

Legend has it that Al Capone loved this place because it was "neutral ground." You can head to the Gangster Museum of America to hear all the gritty stories about the underground tunnels and the colorful characters who ran the town.

Baseball Roots: Did you know spring training basically started here? Even Babe Ruth spent time in Hot Springs. You can follow the Historic Baseball Trail through downtown to see where the legends used to hang out.

Get Outside and Breathe

If you need to burn off some energy, the "Spa City" has you covered.

Hiking with a View: There are over 26 miles of trails. If you want the best view in town, head up to the Hot Springs Mountain Tower. From 216 feet up, you can see the entire valley and the mountains stretching out—it’s breathtaking.

Lake Life: If you’re more of a water person, Lake Hamilton and Lake Ouachita are right there. Whether you want to rent a boat for the afternoon or just find a quiet spot to fish, the water is crystal clear and perfect for a sunset cruise.

Keep an Eye Out for the Locals: (The furry kind!) The park is full of wildlife. You’ll definitely see white-tailed deer, and if you’re a bird watcher, keep your binoculars ready for Bald Eagles or Great Blue Herons.

A Few Must-Dos for Your List:

Garvan Woodland Gardens: It’s 210 acres of pure peace. The glass chapel there is an absolute must-see.

Oaklawn: If you’re feeling lucky, grab a seat at the track for some world-class horse racing.

The Grand Promenade: A beautiful brick walkway behind the bathhouses—perfect for a morning coffee stroll.

Whether you’re coming for a romantic weekend, a family road trip, or you're thinking about finding a permanent "home base" in the mountains, Hot Springs has a way of drawing you in.

Where the Wind Lives at Garvin Woodland Gardens

Experience the pinnacle of "The Natural State" at Garvan Woodland Gardens, a 210-acre botanical masterpiece nestled along 4.5 miles of Lake Hamilton’s wooded shoreline. As the botanical garden of the University of Arkansas, this sanctuary was a gift to the community from local philanthropist Verna Cook Garvan. From the towering canopy of pines to the gentle lapping waves of the lake, the gardens offer a serene escape into the heart of the Ouachita Mountains.

The gardens are a fusion of world-class architecture and majestic landscapes. Visitors can marvel at the Anthony Chapel, a soaring 57-foot glass-and-wood marvel, or explore the Garden of the Pine Wind, a four-acre authentic Japanese garden complete with koi ponds and waterfalls. For families, the Bob & Sunny Evans Treehouse provides an interactive, four-story adventure within the Children’s Garden. Whether you are wandering through the 160+ varieties of azaleas or witnessing the five million twinkling lights during the holiday season, Garvan Woodland Gardens offers breathtaking sights and endless photo opportunities at every turn.

Gardens are open daily from 10:00 a.m. -6:00 p.m. Closed: January
