Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources

Absolutely loved this place. Outdoor exhibit goes quick but is pretty cool. The indoor exhibit is the bread and butter of this place. Its very informative and captivating. It's laid out in a way that keeps you engrossed in it all. Gift shop is nice and the lady working on this day was super sweet. Wife and I were thoroughly impressed with the entire place.
We highly recommend visiting.

This state park and museum is definitely worth checking out. The outdoor exhibit is pretty small and takes about 10 or 15 minutes to complete. It’s all paved and handicap accessible. The indoor exhibit is truly amazing and where you’ll spend most of your time. They did such a great job of creating a captivating experience. There’s so much information in the museum it’s almost overwhelming. There are some awesome interactive parts including a theatre, elevator (Time Machine) and more as well as a section for kids. Children ages 4/5 or older would enjoy the museum. I’d recommend setting aside 2 hours or so to do the inside portion of the park. Like most parks the museum is free and open to the public. Make sure you check the Arkansas State Parks website to find out the hours of operation.

Visited after an unfortunate weather event, and during rain, couldn't see entire museum. Will remember to check website prior to next visit! Trip was not a total loss because there were many displays describing natural history in Arkansas. Will definitely return to see all the displays and vignettes!

This , by far, is the best state parks related museum I have ever gone to. The museum is vast. There's a section of it with the best elevator ride I've ever had. It caught me totally by surprise. You can spend hours there. The information is easy to digest and they invite.you to be hands-on and engage throughout.

It's a nice park with lots of information. It's clean and there's a nice gift shop. The staff seemed nice, and the trail is clean. Theres hours worth of information to learn in there.

Working on visiting all the state parks in Arkansas, the Museum of Natural Resources is one of the last few remaining, and oh boy it did NOT let us down. Everyone needs to make the trip down / over / across, up or however you want to get here and visit, look, read and learn things you never even knew!!! The outdoor adventure / enthusiast that I am and I even picked up a few facts about Arkansas. The history about our Natural State just keeps amazing me! We are so blessed to live in the wonderful, unique and very diverse state! So make a plan, do the drive, and take in alittle more of our wonderful well named Natural State of Arkansas.

Very Nice Museum alot of interesting things to see and learn...Family Friendly.. Gift Shop was really nice had a good variety of things to choose from and was reasonably priced ..Staff was very Friendly and helpful throughout the whole visit..

It's nice, and free. Tips accepted it's a good little place the replica city of 1918 is cool. Alot of good reading. Clean restrooms, nice little gift shop and a walk trail. The jail was my favorite part. Not the first time I say that😘😘🤔 anyway go do it it's fun. Take the kids take the wife Enjoy. Did I mention it's free. Take the last sip of adult beverage and go.

It's, one of, the best Museums I have walked through and it's free, to get in! They, do, accept donations, though. In some ways, it reminds me of the Mid-American Museum. They have a, cool, Souvenir Shop and this Museum has a "two headed calf"! We live an hour and a half from Smackeover and we plan to return!! Thanks!!

What a wonderful and very informative museum. Excellent material and in superb condition. Will absolutely return when all of the outdoor exhibits are available. Very friendly staff as well.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Museum. It is not huge but the displays are well done laid out great.

Free admission and a great experience--well worth the time. This museum has plenty to see for all ages. We spent two hours there.

What an exciting place to visit. The place is free with numerous exhibits both inside and outside. I never knew that for 5 months the town of smackover was the largest producing oil field in the world. Population of the area went from 100 to 25000 in moments after oil was discovered. You need to visit this great facility.

Very educational and informative. Friendly staff,even waited on us leaving.

We go to interserting places. We enjoyed the Arkansas Museum of Natural History. If you ever get out that way it will be worth a visit.

What a gem! Our kids had the best time- highly recommend!

This was a cool place to go and beat the heat for a little bit.

A really nice museum...the tinker shop is great for kids!!

It's definitely a nice place to visit and learn about Arkansas history.

A great museum, very well done and educational. I'm glad I stopped!
