SCHEDULE YOUR NEXT FIELD TRIP TO AN ARKANSAS STATE PARK

Considering a field trip to an Arkansas State Park? Arkansas’s 52 state parks are natural treasures full of cultural heritage set on gorgeous mountains, lakes, streams, and forests. Our staff can create subject-specific programs or we can design a cross-curriculum field trip covering science, mathematics, language and literacy, history, social studies, art, physical education, and health. 

Schedule Your Trip

For detailed educational program information, contact the specific park you wish to visit. Park staff at each location will work with you to schedule and confirm dates, times, specific programs and any related fees, lunch options, souvenir and gift bag offerings, and any other details of your trip.
