Whether this is your first visit or your hundredth, Little Rock always has a story to tell — and this tour is your front-row seat to it all. We’ll take you through the best of the city: grand landmarks, moving moments in civil rights history, vibrant art, and the peaceful beauty of the Arkansas River. Our route winds from the towering State Capitol Building, modeled after the one in Washington, D.C., to Central High School, where the courage of the Little Rock Nine forever changed the course of American education. You’ll explore MacArthur Park, the city’s oldest, where General Douglas MacArthur was born, and discover creativity in places like the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts and the bustling River Market District, filled with local flavor and live music. And here’s a fun fact — Little Rock got its name in 1722 from a small rocky outcrop on the riverbank, called La Petite Roche by a French explorer. That very rock still exists today, preserved in Riverfront Park, quietly connecting modern Little Rock to its earliest days. You’ll also pass the Clinton Presidential Library, one of the most visited presidential libraries in the country, and spot a submarine from World War II docked right here in landlocked Arkansas at the Inland Maritime Museum — proof that this city always finds a way to surprise you. We’ve designed this route to give you the most scenic and meaningful experience possible, so just relax, follow the directions, and enjoy the ride. You’re about to see why Little Rock isn’t just the capital of Arkansas — it’s the heart of its story.
