Although my daughter enjoyed Discovery Place, I found it woefully inadequate compared to similar…read moreinteractive children's museums that I've visited in other cities. Many of the "exhibits" barely deserve the title (resembling something closer to simple children's play areas), and roughly half of those that do appear to be out of commission. Furthermore, the entire building suffers from a sense of decay that feels like it's a couple cigarette burns in the carpet shy of becoming a crack house. That said, there are two specific offerings that save this review from single-star oblivion. First is the Tesla Coil show, which makes up for what it lacks in presentation (the video before the show is almost unbearable) with an admittedly cool display set to music. This comes at no extra cost, which is a nice change from other museums where shows like this typically require an additional ticket purchase. The second shining attribute is the mural work on the main wall, which displays a terrific woodland scene and clearly required a great deal of time and effort from a talented artist. If you believe those two experiences are worth the $5/person cost of entry, by all means, visit this museum. But if you are expecting anything - literally anything - else, you are going to leave disappointed.

Some things looked like they could really use a deep clean/update. We were the only people in the place (other than the staff member and her kids). For $5 I feel like it was better than having my kids in a hotel room all day, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. The only cool thing about the place was the Tesla show (which I had to go tell a staff member it was 11:30 which was the time the door said they did the show) and cool mural on the wall.

Texarkana is one of those places that proudly wears its name like a badge of honor--and honestly,…read moreit's kind of amazing. You've got Texas and Arkansas literally glued together, like two siblings who refuse to share a room but have to get along anyway. Walk down the street and you might be in Texas, take a left, and suddenly you're in Arkansas--without even realizing it until the GPS freaks out. The city itself is a charming mash-up of southern hospitality, small-town vibes, and a sprinkle of "Wait, which state am I in again?" You'll find BBQ joints that swear they have the best brisket this side of the Mississippi, and local legends who debate endlessly over whether their favorite football team is a Texas team or an Arkansas one. And don't even get me started on the postal code drama--Texarkana has two ZIP codes because, yep, it's actually two cities pretending to be one. It's like the ultimate identity crisis, but everyone just laughs and orders sweet tea. If you want a place that's equal parts quirky, friendly, and confusing in the best way possible, Texarkana's got your back. Just don't forget which side of the street you're standing on--or you might end up paying sales tax twice!

The lake views by the spillway are worth the hike which is entirely wooded so that helps tremendously with the summer heat. Its very easy walking and I've even seen people on motorized skateboards. There are biking trails also but hiking/running them is permitted if you go against the bike traffic. These are pretty hilly and narrow and you need to watch your footing and listen for bikers if you're on foot. The trails overall are a blast to hike and run. Depending on which bike trail you take it is two or four miles. Whether you take a bike trail or the main trail once you get to the spillway you can keep following the trail which runs through the woods, around the golf course and dumps you out onto University Blvd about a mile and some change west of the park. That route including getting back to the parking lot is about six miles. There is also back road I believe that gets you close to the spill way if you don't want to hike.

These people just want to make money and no history background in water safety or running pools (other than ones they buy with investors but being able to buy a white labcoat does not make you a doctor, right? no prior qualification, never EARN the right to own and run such a place). Just search Texarkanas water park drowning 2025 (4 year old girl). Many witnesses said they life guards froze, didn't know what to do, poor training, maybe not even certified because how you gone just stand there if you supposed to be certify in cpr? A retired nurse tried to do it but didn't help by then while the very very young immature inexperience teenage guards stood like statues in shock. If you go there, remember YOU are the only safety net for your kids. Don't count on anyone or anything else. Don't be lax or chilled. Stay vigilent. YOU are the life guard for your kids! Keep one kid per adult, no more. Keep them in reach of your ARM, no farther away. It takes 4 minutes to be brain dead from drown but only 30 seconds to already begin drown if you swallow water to your lungs. Water is fun but we not fish. Be smart. Be safe. Pray for ya'll.
