What is the best museum for kids in Arkansas? That’s an easy, and complicated question. But, let me suggest the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. This place is amazing, and it’s free.
The Crystal Bridges museum is one of the top 5 recommended destinations for people to visit when they are in Arkansas. Officially, this museum is a modern art museum and it opened in November, 2011. The museum has beautiful grounds, a small lake, and offers over 3.5 miles of trails that wind through the 120-acre grounds. You could say it is a superb example of an Ozark landscape. Some of the trees you’ll see are dogwoods, as well as pine trees, red cedars, a tulip tree, as well as oak and other natural trees.
There are always things to do for kids, and a few recent events will show you the variety of programs available. There are regular children’s art classes (ages 6-12), drawing classes, night time sky viewing and discussion, preschool playdates, family sunday art-making activities, artist-led projects, as well as outdoor activities.
