10 Things to Do on an Arkansas Family Vacation

There’s no better family vacation than heading to a cabin. You get out of the house and away from chores, and the kids have plenty of room to play outdoors. When your children are all grown up, they’ll still speak fondly of their weeks at the cabin with you. With sizes ranging from one to five bedrooms, the Can-U-Canoe Eureka Springs family cabins have space for all the members of your household to relax and play all day. Here are our recommendations for things to do in Arkansas with kids.

  1. Meet rescued big cats at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. This wildlife refuge houses everything from lions to black bears. The family-owned animal rescue is the perfect place for some family fun in Arkansas.
  2. For more educational Arkansas attractions for families, visit the Blue Spring Heritage Center. This historical site will teach you all about the Ozark region, from prehistoric civilization to early settlers.
  3. Go underground and tour the famous Eureka Springs caves. There are three breathtaking caverns near our cabins, and they all have fun above-ground activities for before and after the tour itself.
  4. As one of the best Arkansas family resorts, Can-U-Canoe knows how important it is to share a meal together. That’s why so many of our cabins have gas grills. They’re the perfect place to teach older kids how to grill up lunch or dinner. You’ll eat well throughout your Arkansas family vacation.
  5. Take a ride on the Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Railway. They have lunch and dinner trains as well as narrated excursions, so there’s an option to fit every family’s schedule.
