Entertainment Districts in Hot Springs

Central Avenue presents Bathhouse Row's restaurants and galleries in the Hot Springs National Park historic district.

Bathhouse Row in Hot Springs National Park is one of America's most historically extraordinary entertainment districts — an eight-building complex of grand 19th and early 20th-century bathhouses along Central Avenue where Al Capone and FDR both took the waters. Today's Hot Springs entertainment district extends from restored Bathhouse Row into a Central Avenue corridor of bars, restaurants, and galleries that serves the national park's 1.5 million annual visitors.

Lake Hamilton presents lakeside restaurants and marinas just south of downtown Hot Springs.

Magic Springs Theme and Water Park presents Timberwood Amphitheater concerts alongside rides in Hot Springs.

The Ouachita Mountains and surrounding region of central Arkansas present an entertainment landscape unique in the American South — where quartz crystal hunting, lake fishing, and the natural beauty of Lake Ouachita create a recreation-based entertainment economy anchored by Hot Springs's national park, casino resort at Oaklawn Racing, and the natural thermal springs that have attracted visitors since before the United States was founded.
