Little Rock – Things to do with your Team

Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas, and the biggest city in the state. The city gets its name from a rock formation along the Arkansas River, which is a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike. A trip to Little Rock is a great way for your team to bond, and if you’re looking for fun things to do together while you’re in town, this list of local adventures will get you started.

Keep in mind that if you are competing at Verizon Soccer Field or the Statehouse Convention Center, we have travel guides for those venues as well.

Wild River Country

If you’re looking to cool off and experience some Wet ‘n’ Wild rides, head over to Wild River Country in North Little Rock, the state’s largest water park. Start high above the treetops on the Black Lightning and White Lightning slides featuring surprising twists and turns, and experience sliding down in total darkness on the spiraling Vortex. The Pipeline is a heart-pounding, 500-foot slide with lots of twisting and turning, and the Accelerator is an extreme vertical high-speed slide you can ride down with a friend. The Thrilling Three are three new high-thrill rides that include a high-speed and a free-fall slide. 6820 Crystal Hill Rd, North Little Rock, AR 72118

Altitude Trampoline Park

If you want to release some pent-up energy at a trampoline park, Little Rock can offer just that very thing! Altitude Trampoline Park has over 200 interconnected trampolines built into the floor where you can practice your aerial acrobatics and have a high-energy, bouncing good time with your teammates. Take flying leaps to slam dunk a ball on the trampoline basketball lanes, compete with your friends in a lively game of trampoline dodgeball, or dive headfirst into the largest foam pit in Arkansas. You’ll have to have a parent sign a waiver if you’re under 18, but you can do all that online so that you can head straight for the trampolines when you arrive. 15707 Chenal Pkwy, Little Rock, AR 72211

Pinnacle Mountain State Park

Located just a few minutes outside Little Rock, Pinnacle Mountain State Park is a favorite local destination for outdoor adventurers. Here, you can climb the 1,000-foot, cone-shaped peak of Pinnacle Mountain and enjoy amazing views from the summit, or you can rent a canoe, kayak, or pedal boat at the marina and get out on the water. Chief Whitehorse’s Trail Rides offers a reasonably-priced, hour-long horseback trail ride along scenic mountain paths. They welcome novices and experienced riders alike. Bring a take-out lunch or snack with you, and dine al fresco at one of the many picnic shelters, then run wild and free on the park’s giant playground. 11901 Pinnacle Valley Rd, Roland, AR 72135

Big Rock Fun Park

Big Rock Fun Park is one of Little Rock’s favorite family attractions, offering affordable fun and games that everyone can enjoy. Play a challenging round of mini-golf on one of two clever 18-hole courses, or rev up your engines and race your teammates on the twisting, turning go-kart track. Hit some home runs in the batting cages, and then cool down on the bumper boat ride. A dollar gets you four tokens for the arcade, which features over 30 games, including skee ball, air hockey, Harpoon Lagoon, and more. If you’re looking for a real challenge, try your hand at Lazer Frenzy, where you navigate like a spy through laser beams to reach the finish line. 11411 Baseline Rd, Little Rock, AR 72209
