Lake Catherine State Park

At Garvan Forest Gardens, you'll find 210 acres of woodland gardens, as the name suggests. For a small cost, you can rent a golf cart for a guided tour, or you and your pet can walk around the many routes at your leisure. Take a picnic lunch or sit on the dog-friendly outside terrace of Chipmunk Cafe. A lovely pet fountain in Garvan Woodland Gardens appears like a natural spring emerging from the rock.

In Hot Springs National Park, the Hot Springs Creek Greenway is a multi-use trail that's a terrific spot to walk Petzooie! A parking lot with easy access to the Hot Springs Creek Greenway is shown on the map below.

Bring Petzooie to the area's first off-leash dog park. This facility provides a safe environment for dogs and their owners to exercise and interact. The park includes a 2-acre play area with separate areas for large and small dogs, as well as water stations, benches, paved walking routes, double gate entry, and other amenities. The city manages the park, which is overseen by the Animal Services Department.

Pets are welcome on the Hot Springs Trolleys. Only licensed, permitted, and approved Trolley Company offering sightseeing tours, shuttles, and charters. Adult tickets start at $18 and dogs ride for free.

Allow Petzooie to shop with you at All Things Arkansas, a dog-friendly store in Hot Springs, AR, for a souvenir or unique gift. Whether you're looking for an Arkansas-stamped memento of your trip to The Natural State or something as simple as a postcard, All Things Arkansas is the place to go for gifts galore. Consider Arkansas-themed t-shirts, handmade soaps, complex handcrafted jewelry, cooking books, Arkansas ceramics, and rare crystals, among other items.

Take a trip back in time to the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, when mineral water, gambling, bootlegging, and other extreme pleasures drew tourists from all over the world to Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Gangster Museum of America is a historical and amusing tale of how some of America's most prominent gangsters co-existed with the quaint residents of this small valley town in the central Arkansas highlands. The audiovisual experience of the seven galleries is worth the admission price in and of itself. Play in the antique casino while listening to the historian in the museum theater tell entertaining, informative, and educational stories about who, what, when, and where.
