Road Trip from Dallas to Little Rock

Blog· Travel

 

The trip from Dallas to Little Rock is a little over 300 miles. Driving straight through with minimal stops would take you about 5-6 hours. I don’t know about you, but I love making the most of each and every road trip… which means making extra stops and creating more memories!Road Trip from Dallas to Little Rock

While it’s true that Texas landscape isn’t always interesting (flat highways will do that for ya), you’re traveling north up into Arkansas and across some pretty landscape, which will make the trip seem not so long.

Be sure to download some free road trip apps for the kids, and if you have time, prepare some busy bags to keep the younger ones occupied. Pack a cooler with snacks and sandwich stuff to save money at pit stops.

Sulphur Springs

Sulphur Springs is about 90 minutes outside of Dallas. There are many things to do in Sulphur Springs, it just depends on how much time you want to spend and how far off the beaten path you want to go. Some fan favorites seem to be:

Factory Stores of America Outlet Mall
Cooper Late State Park
Hopkins County Veterans Memorial

If you’re hungry already, check Yelp for the Top 10 Restaurants in Sulphur Springs to see if any might tickle your fancy.

Texarkana

The halfway point between Dallas and Little Rock is Texarkana. Assuming your kids are as stir crazy as mine would be at this time, the Discovery Place Children’s Museum is a nice stop to make if you’re traveling while they’re open.

“Visitors step back in time through giant prehistoric animal murals and explore the wonders of life in the living science lab. Exhibits explore health, sound, motion, electricity, astronomy, and other sciences. Children can play in replicas of a 1900 general store and a 1920 kitchen.” There’s even a spot for toddlers, so kids of all ages will be entertained in this museum. Plus, it’ll wear them out so they can sleep the rest of the trip! Okay, well, maybe they’ll take a nap at least?

Arkadelphia, Arkansas

Next up… the Museum of Discovery – also called the Donald W Reynolds Science Center – in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Can you tell that this trip is going to be fun and educational? We love to sneak learning in whenever we can!

There are plenty of restaurants around the Museum of Discovery, too, so if you’re hungry this is the perfect stop.

Little Rock, Arkansas

If you’ve made it to Little Rock, congratulations! If you’re not completely wiped out from your journey from Texas, there are a few places you might want to check out during your stay. Located at 6900 Two Rivers Road, Two Rivers Park is a 1,000 acre park that boasts trails for walking, biking, and even horseback riding. Two Rivers Park is the perfect stop for photographers and nature lovers alike, with frequent deer and wildlife sightings.

The Little Rock Zoo is another “must see” to add to your list, if you have some extra time! With over 600 animals, it’s sure to keep you entertained for most of the day. Little Rock is full of places to explore as a family, with good restaurants throughout so you can eat well along the way.

See the trip on Mapquest.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
