Camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, water-skiing, boating and more are frequent sites on the lakes and in the forests.  A thriving arts community is another major draw to the spa city with a host of fine art galleries and antique shops, along with nationally recognized festivals including the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival and Hot Springs Music Festival.  Thoroughbred racing each spring and simulcast racing throughout the year can be found at Oaklawn Park.  Nature is at her best at Garvan Woodland Gardens, a 210-acre botanical garden surrounded by Lake Hamilton.  The newly redeveloped Magic Springs & Crystal Falls Theme & Water Park offers rides and fun for all ages along with a great summer concert series. 

Entertainment options are abundant with great music and magic shows, community concerts and more.  No trip to Hot Springs would be complete without a relaxing spa treatment or a game of golf at one of its many challenging courses.  With so much to do and see, Hot Springs truly has something for everyone to love.
