Having visited from a “big city” it was hard to believe that this amazing place was FREE! Not only that it is free, but it is educational, well kept, and interesting for people of all ages. My sons love nature, and they had a blast doing the “scavenger hunt”, learning about Arkansas through the lens of nature, and appreciated all the beautiful animals they have on display. The taxidermy is top-class, and the live animals are in great conditions. 100% recommend this place as something to do for anyone in Little Rock.

This place is a hidden gem (and free!). It was really cool to see and learn about all the animals in Arkansas. One of the staff members even brought out a little snake for everyone to see. It has tons of activities for kids. It was just my husband and I, no kids, and we still had a lot of fun. I will say, there was tons of kiddos having fun and on the loud side, so if that bothers you, then I would suggest going during the week or not at peak times. We went on a Saturday around 11am. There also isn't a parking lot right outside but there is street parking and a park (Tunnels Playground) you can park at that's about a 5 minute walk. The park is very nice and has tons of things for kids so that would be fun to add to the trip!

We love to take the kids here.. especially in the summer! We usually get some ice cream, walk around a bit, then cool off inside and check out the fish and animals. The staff are always kind and helpful and they have lots of magazines and information for all kinds of other things to do outdoors in Arkansas.

This is such a cool place! I stumbled across it online looking for things to do on a cold, rainy day. It was really fun! And free!

Great stop for families or anyone interested in learning about the local wildlife of the area! We have two young children who really enjoyed doing the scavenger hunt and looking at all the animals. My husband enjoyed reading all the exhibits and learning about the area. There's a gun little gift shop with lots of options for souvenirs too! We really enjoyed our visit here!

On our way from Houston to Ottawa, we spent a night in Little Rock and visited the Nature Center, which was an amazing experience. We had a wonderful time with my children, learning about wildlife and observing various animal species. The atmosphere was fantastic, and my kids had a lot of fun. It's definitely a great place for families to visit. Plus, it's completely free! We made a donation to support the continuation of such services. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through Little Rock.

Awesome little place to see live and mounted animals. They also have hundreds of older fishing lures to see for fishing fanatics. The one and only staff member working was super nice and gave all 4 of my kids a little animal book of birds, snakes, and fish. We all really enjoyed.
