    This bridge is pretty cool. It is a historic bridge that is beautifully lit in green LEDs at night. It spans about 360 feet, but felt longer. You do have to climb a steep flight of stairs on both sides of the bridge to cross over it. The bridge does have elevators, but they have not operated in a very long time. The bridge dates back to 1884, and was originally, it was named Junction Railroad Bridge and was converted to a pedestrian bridge in 2008. The Bridge closes at 10PM, unless there is a special event, is managed by Pulaski County and available for rental use by private parties. Additionally, the bridge is part of the 15-mile loop Arkansas River Trail System. You will find decent parks on both ends of the bridge The bridge crosses over the Arkansas River, connecting Little Rock to North Little Rock. Even though the bridge is intended for pedestrians and cyclist, it is not very accessible, outside of a working elevator. It is a little work out climbing the stairs. Once you do trek the stairs though, you will not only have access to the opposite side of city, but also some beautiful panoramic views of Little Rock and the Arkansas River. This iconic bridge is a major part of Little Rock's skyline. It is the most famous of the city's 4 pedestrian bridges. I used the bridge to cross over to a carnival on the other side of the river. It has also been used for working out, Tik Tok videos, and going to events at the arena.

    Just a quick trip across the bridge. Convenient to the downtown area. The bride was fun to walk across and thought it really added a lot to the downtown experience.

    A visit to Junction Bridge was on my itinerary as a 1st time visitor to Little Rock, AR & I'm so glad I did make the trip. :)) We had originally planned to see Junction Bridge during the daytime hours but w/ the recent time change, it was already dark out by the time we made it to Junction Bridge & honestly, it worked out perfectly! Seeing the bridge lit up is awesome for sure! Since "sharing is caring", here are a few tips for you: -There is a staircase that you can walk up to get to the Junction Bridge that is located near the parking lot & right next to the "US Submarines World War II Losses" memorial statue. -We visited on 11/20/21 & it was chilly on the night we went so dress warm since it does seem a bit colder when high up on the bridge & surrounded by water. -Free parking right under the bridge but fyi, at night it can be a little hard to see the entrance since there is construction going on. The parking lot itself is a big open gravel area & it isn't lit very brightly so just be careful & alert of your surroundings. -Junction Bridge does light up at night & the colors do change. It's very beautiful for sure. Since we visited in the evening there wasn't a lot of foot traffic, instead there were only a few others walking on the bridge & a few people were exercising. I definitely recommend you adding a visit to Junction Bridge if you've never been. It's free & fun! :)) ~Rebecca out

    Please visit at night, it was breathtakingly beautiful all lit up on a gorgeous Summer evening. They have elevators at both ends, but they were out of order. We climbed the 5 flights and were rewarded with a stunning view of the Arkansas river, the downtown skyline lit up and aglow and loved looking at the padlocks of love folks have attached to the bridge over the years. Do not miss this landmark.

    Historic and very unique pedestrian bridge. The entrance is beautifully landscaped. This is a must see in Little Rock! Word to the wise: I wouldn't trust the elevators. One was stuck mid rise while we were there... thankfully with no one in it! We lugged the stroller up and down the stairs and it was worth every step. Great view and such a fun walk. Ps- the park on the south side of the bridge is AWESOME for kids. They loved the tunnel system and the long slide.

    Greetings from Little Rock. Wish you were here! Cute postcard photo frame at Junction Bridge in downtown Little Rock. One of six bridges that cross the Arkansas River, Junction Bridge is a lift-span bridge that originally was built as a railroad bridge in 1884. It was rebuilt in the 1970s and finally converted to a pedestrian bridge in 2008. Today, it provides a beautiful walkway across the Arkansas River. Visitors can either climb the stairs or use a glass enclosed elevator to reach the bridge. It is a part of the Arkansas River Trail.

    Yep, it's worth a visit! On a road trip to Dallas I added this bridge to my list of stops. It is easy to locate using your GPS service and there is ample parking. Admittedly I did not have high expectations for this place. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The bridge is located within a nice park and green space. The area appears to be well maintained. It is also in close proximity to a pretty lovely part of town. The bridge allows for views of the river as well as the skyline. You can take an elevator to the bridge or walk the stairs (58 steps). There are benches on the bridge to sit and take in the views. I was able to capture some stunning views of the skyline at sunset. If you are passing through Little Rock, I do suggest making this a part of your trip.

    A really cool pedestrian. I was a little tentative about homeless or potentially sketchy people on the bridge since going at night when the lights are on is when you want to go. Getting up there I was immediately relieved as there are usually couples and families walking this bridge at night. It lets out right next to the Clinton Presidential library which is a great museum.

    Well worth a visit- especially around sunset or while passing through Little Rock. This is a special glimpse into Little Rock past and current. It's not everyday you can climb a historic bridge (1884) and take in a city view, sunset, passing barges, or simply sit and people watch. I love when cities build parks and attractions around their natural water bodies! Water is such a mesmerizing de-stressor and anti-depressant - much needed for city dwellers and for all of us during COVID days. This bridge is handicap accessible with options of either elevator or stairs. We tried the elevator once in early August and found it VERY hot! As a glass elevator, the sun penetrates and heats the elevators throughout the day so they'd likely be much cooler on overcast or cooler weather days. My only wish was for a permanent public restroom somewhere near the bridge. As it was, I opted to use a VERY full and steamy pot-a-John on the edge of a nearby parking lot prior to getting back on the road...not the most savory farewell to this beautiful riverside park and historic bridge:P Despite the unsavory sending, I'd return for this bridge, park, and its views in a heartbeat!! TIP: Metered Street parking is free on weekends.

    If it were Junkie Bridge, there'd be druggies all over it. Actually that's about right, on some nights. Along with the River Market, this spectacular and iconic bridge is the most famous and gorgeous thing to see in the city of Little Rock. I absolutely love it. There is no doubt it is five stars because... I mean just look at it. And it's even more impressive in person. I bet Richard from Yelp Atlanta would really like it too because he loves his bridges. So do I and so do Simon & Garfunkel.

    How about a romantic stroll across the river, by way of the Junction Bridge?! The JB is a Little Rock bucket list stop if you ask me. Because, why not? It's (now) a pedestrian bridge with great views of the river, and I hear it's spectacular at sunset. There are many photo worthy aspects also, like the padlocks (or "love locks" as seen in Paris) on the bridge and the "Greetings from Little Rock" post card! Check it out if you're in Little Rock or North Little Rock! The bridge connects the two, therefore giving us "A Tale of Two Cities!" Lol! Get it? No. -- well it was worth a try!

    Very unique bridge and a necessary place to visit in Little Rock. Fun and impressive architecture.

    A picturesque bridge in downtown that's reminiscent of Louisville to be honest. It decorates your panorama of downtown in a nice way.

    I listen to a lot of country, a lot of rap, and a Little Rock. So I fit right in here. (Jk, I'm not…read morebig into country or rap but it worked for the intro, did it not). Little Rock in brief summary, is an absolutely gorgeous City which will live forever in my heart, both because of the bittersweet distant memories, and some more recent ones with Starlight, and even moreso - the amazing concerts I've had here. My first memories of Little Rock were with the love of my life when we were traveling all over the country, driving through here on a sticky summers' day. The first thing we discovered here was the River Market. We've traversed Arkansas on a number of fateful occasions over the years and each one has left a real impression on me. Almost always in the heat of the summer, except when I did my tour here, in late Autumn. When it is at its most comfortable, really. My most recent experience was bringing Starlight through here in the heat of the summer - and she and son and mochi all enjoyed the Frozen Custard from Shake's, and we had a little look around the downtown. You can see her eating it in the attached pic. My best experience here was for a concert. We absolutely packed the River City Coffee Cafe with over 100 people and it was one of the most memorable concerts I ever had. So LR will always be special to me and it's a truly beautiful place. And no, while I may have Little Rock in my heart, I do not have Little Rocks anywhere on my body, despite what you may have heard from multiple sources.

    The photo doesn't do any justice to how high the grass/weeds are; nearly hip high…read more I watched children have to walk through this mess to get to school. Do better Little Rock. Cut the weeds back so the children and other pedestrians can have a clear path to get where they need to go.

Also the Heritage website is confusing so we went to the wrong place first. But the artwork was pretty and it is free to go through the museum so it wasn't a total loss.

To be fair, they did appear to have a section blocked off so I wonder if they were changing out the displays.

There is also a private parking lot for the museum on that side of the street and you will find metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance. You can enter the museum from two opposing sides. The main entrance has some enticing sculptures out front and are popular with people taking pictures on. I will admit that their is not much to this museum. It is two levels of exhibits that are available to view. The first is where you will find an information booth, gift shop, meeting room and open space vacant exhibit area. The only actual exhibit on the first floor is Conspicuous Consumption: If you've got it, flaunt it! That displays antique furniture and artifacts. The second floor has the majority of the exhibits including Arkansas art, some of which you can purchase, a large native American exhibit, and the Sturgis Children's Gallery, which is pretty much a kids play area. The native American exhibit is the most detailed and where I spent the majority of my time. The knife exhibit was closed while I was there. I really wanted to see it, but oh well. Visiting the museum is 100% free, but they do offer paid tours. In addition to the inside exhibits, the tour includes a mock historic town located outdoors that has brick/wood made buildings and structures. This is a nice museum. It is pretty clean and well organized. I spent about an hour checking out the museum and walking the grounds. It is definitely a must see while in Little Rock.

Douglas MacArthur is an interesting historical figure; while the place unsurprisingly paints a favorable picture of him, the museum presents some controversy for the viewer to think about. Much of the other exhibitions were primary source photographs or paintings from the time of various wars. It isn't fancy, but it does allow the viewer to make up his or her own mind, and there's plenty to ponder. Given that the museum is free to enter, I expect that visitorship will only grow as the next door building opens, and I certainly think it's worth a look.

It has artifacts, displays, videos, pictures, and placards detailing Arkansas and some of the state's famous residents' contributions to wars including the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. There is parking right out front of the museum and in the lot that belongs to the neighboring park as well. One of the best parts of the museum, and there are many, is that it is free. The museum has a meeting/conference area on the 2nd floor, where chairs are situated in a square around the room's perimeter. The museum is small but packed. It is also well organized. There are no guides and there was only one guy sitting at the front desk at the entrance and he never left his post. Some of the more notable exhibits in the museum include the General MacArthur exhibit on 2nd floor. General MacArthur was actually born in Little Rock.....who knew? There is also a large exhibit on Asian Americans that fought in WWII, women suffrage posters/cartoons and a Jeep display. If you do visit this Museum, I encourage you to venture outside and take a look a the nearby memorials, markers, and placards. They added to my museum experience. I highly recommend checking this museum out. I really enjoyed my time here and learned a lot. Between the adjoining park, the fine arts, memorials, and other attractions, you can actually make a day of it.
