TheLittle Rock Zoo’s mission is to inspire people to value and conserve our natural world.

Every visit to the Little Rock Zoo is a different adventure in memories, learning, and fun! Parade over to the popular Laura P. Nichols Penguin Pointe exhibit to watch South African penguins and the new baby, Betty White, play above and below the water. Swing by the Orangutan exhibit to get a peek at the toddler orangutan, Kasih. Treat yourself to a thrilling ride back into Arkansas history on the historic Over-the-Jumps-Carousel or take a ride on the Animal Tracks Train! Check the website to see what’s planned with new animals, special events, celebrations, and educational programs. The Zoo is an ever-changing experience for visitors of all ages.

Connect with living creatures and learn how to create a better future for all living things all while you enjoy a day with your family. Since 1926, the Zoo has been one of Arkansas’s greatest treasures and one of Arkansas’s most visited attractions, with just over 300,000 per year. Today, an expert staff cares for 400+ animals giving love and attention and focusing on conservation of animals in the wild. Come meet our animals and fall in love with them.

Visit our hands-on environment where learning is interactive and fun. We encourage curiosity and activity through nature play, like at our new Blue & You Sensory Garden and Blue & You Nature Playground. The Zoo’s educational experiences connect people with the natural world and conservation, which we believe will help in our goal to protect species and ensure long-term survival of them in the wild.

TheMacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History interprets our state’s military heritage and honors the contributions of Arkansans who served in conflicts from the territorial period to the present. It is located in the historic Arsenal Building, a National Historic Landmark and one of Little Rock’s oldest surviving structures. Built in 1840 to protect a frontier state from attack by Native Americans, it witnessed pivotal exchanges between Federal and Confederate forces during the Civil War, and later became the birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur. Through exhibits and programming, the museum ensures that “old soldiers never die.” Instead, their sacrifice and service are preserved for future generations.

WhereHistory Lives Forever ...

Oakland & Fraternal Historic Cemetery Park was established in 1863 and by 2010 was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in Arkansas. We became the first Cemetery in the state to receive accreditation as a Level 1 Arboretum in 2014. With our rolling hills and valleys, this beautiful 63-acre park is the final resting place for many of Little Rock’s distinguished citizens. Just to name a few, one such person was J.H. Southall, who was a founder of the Medical Department at the Arkansas Industrial University. It is known today as UAMS and not only provides medical care but extensive research in the treatment of Cancer. Logan Roots, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and a business man, was instrumental in the establishment of a military base that bears his name, Fort Roots. Bernie Babcock, a renowned author and considered an authority on Abe Lincoln, is buried here on Camelia and last but certainly not least, John Bush, who is buried in Fraternal Cemetery. He rose from poverty to national prominence when he co-founded the Mosaic Templars of America. We have several Potter’s Fields for those who were unidentified or otherwise could not afford a proper burial. There are certain places that are heartfelt and special in our Cemetery and those are our eight Babylands. They date back to the 1900s with some burials taking place in current time. Private tours are available by appointment only and in the Fall we have night tours. All tours fall under our Lantern Light Tours.
