Is there anything exciting to do in arkansas besides museums? what about activities for kids?|100563

Im planning on moving to arkansas from california in a couple of months and I cant fing anything interesting to do there besides museums(which I dont like) and a few parks!!!! All i could find was a water park and a zoo which had horrible ratings. I have a two year old daughter, what does arkansas have to offer as for as excitment for children?

Gentry, AR has a drive-thru safari that I have been to a few times. Some of the animals are too wild to feed but one thing that Gentry has that most other places do not is that they have wild animals that you can pet. Sometimes it is baby bears, sometimes baby tigers, it just depends on what they have out. It is called Wild Wilderness Safari.
Then there is Cosmic Cavern in Berryville; Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Crossett; Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks in Fayetteville;
an elephant sactuary in Greenbrier; their is a riverboat in Hot Springs and North Little Rock; Little Rock and Hackett both have a zoo; and there is the Arkansas _ Missouri Railroad that has stops in Springdale, Van Buren, Fort Smith, and Winslow.
I have provided links to most of the things listed above so you can learn more.
I hope this has helped you.

I use the search engine _ask.com_. It pulls up things google never does. I am glad I could help you out.

What is the best month to visit Niagra Falls?|184894

I don_t want to go when it is real hot (like now) . Is October or November good? I have never been and have been wanting to go for a long time.

don_t go around any holiday because its always extra packed with people if you can go during the week. I went in early May, it was the perfect tempeature and was beautiful because the flowers were just starting and everything was ready for the summer season

October is really nice and pretty

Love going there. Best in Sept or Oct after the really hot season and before it gets really cold.

We went in July a couple years ago. The weather was beautiful - low to mid 80_s with no humidity and plenty of sunshine. Some mornings were even chilly. (Be sure to stay on the Canadian side and walk over to the United States!) Niagara Falls is breathtaking, but it has a lot cheesy touristy things around it. The cheesy touristy things are fun though! I think October would be a wonderful time to go. The fall foliage should probably peak the first part of October. Just take some warm clothes, buy a bus pass and visit all the attractions, and you will enjoy one the wonders of the world!

now is good. I would avoid November. It is next to Buffalo for C%^$_s sake!

i was in spring, wich was really nice.

november

the winter its like a norman rockwell painting it is aw-sum but needless to say the spring and summer is great to cause more things to do.

Is it possible to get married jokingly in Vegas?|133314

My gf and I have this on-going joke about getting married in Las Vegas. Is it possible to go through the ceremony at the chapels without it being legally binding?

Not legal. You must show your marriage license or marriage certificate (for remarriage) in order for licensed person to perform ceremony.

Puzzling question. If it_s only the two of you, then you are both in on the joke, If you are trying to get wedding photos to fake your friends I imagine you could get it done, but I think most chapels would be nervous that they are going to get their name on a public scam.

Sure just pay them the money but dont have them sign the marriage license. Tell them you are already married and want to get remarried.

I don_t see the point in this. You probally could but they would still charge you the same as having a real wedding.

No, just ask Britney Spears

How do I get from Chicago to Merrillville without a car?|195942

I am moving to Chicago in two weeks, and I need to get to Merrillville shortly thereafter to take an exam. I will not have a car. What_s the best way to get to Merrillville without a car. Is there a bus or train that goes out there?

if you can get transportation to and from gary or portage, you can ride the south shore line into downtown (randolph street station) and connect to other lines from there or from buses...dont take greyhound. here is a link to the south shore line stations

and for the CTA stations

Check the Greyhound website -

Chances are they do have a bus route that goes out there.

I would check with the South Shore RR

Any where I can see menus and prices of good cheap restaurants in New York city?|130532

I am going to New York city in July and want to go to some good cheap restaurants.I also want to take a tour of Statute of Liberty Empire State Building,Harlem etc.Any info on a good one would be appreciated.

There_s still some restriction on access to the Statute of Liberty, in place after 9/11. You can go to the island, but I_m sure that you_re not permitted to climb to the crown any longer. I did that often as a child.

www.menupages.com
Just select _New York_ for the menus, pricing and customer opinions.

www.nycvisit.com/restaurantweek
If you_re here July 10-14 and July 17-21, 2006, it will be 2006 Summer Restaurant Week where you can enjoy 3-course lunches for $24.07. We love this!

Enjoy my hometown in July. (Sunscreen, visor, sunglasses and water for our HUMID, hot city.)

Here_s a good website that lists restaurants by boroughs:

http://www.newyorkmetro.com/restaurants/��


Have fun!
Oh yea, there_s a place I recommend. It_s called Gray_s Papaya. It_s a hot dog _restaurant_ and not a hot dog stand where they_re famous for their 75 cent hot dogs. If you_re a tourist, you have to go here. It_s a landmark. Also, if you go into Chinatown, there_s a lot of good restaurants that are cheap there.

go to menupages.com and the new york page of citysearch.com

What historical things are there to see near Mesa Arizona?|185723

I_m going to a place called Sun Lakes Arizona for a week in November. I googled it and it_s near Mesa Arizona. I would like to know what historical monuments or wonders of the world are in that Area. I plan to drive 3 hours (I think?) to the Grand Canyon. Is there anything else I should definately see? Thanks!

Sun Lakes is on the southern edge of the larger Phoenix metro area. It is closer to the towns of Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe then Mesa (although Mesa is not that far away either).

Before listing some of the historical and natural attractions in the Phoenix area, I should note that from Sun Lakes, it will actually be about a 4.5 to 5 hour drive to the Grand Canyon (because you are starting from the opposite side of Phoenix). And that is assuming you don_t leave around rush hour.

As the poster above mentions, there is a large historic Mormon temple in Mesa (Mesa was largely founded by Mormons) which is worth checking out. Mesa also has an old historic downtown area with turn of the century buildings.

In downtown Phoenix, the famous Heard Museum is considered one of the nation_s best museums for Native American arts and history. The Phoenix Museum of History is nearby and not too far away (near the Zoo in Papago Park) is the Arizona Historical Society Museum.

Being in Sun Lakes, you will be fairly close to the large prehistoric Hohokam ruins at Casa Grande National Monument (near the town of Casa Grande) which is pretty impressive.

A little to the east of Phoenix are the beautiful Superstition Mountains that are said to be the location of Lost Dutchman Goldmine. There is a interesting (if winding) called the Apache Trail (AZ88) that runs between the mountains and the lakes of the Salt River. Near the start of the road (at Apache Junction) is the Goldfield _Ghost Town_ which is really more of a tourist attraction than a real historic site, but it can be kinda fun.

On your way from Phoenix up the Grand Canyon, you could stop at Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon (famous for its red rocks and expensive resorts). There is also the interesting prehistoric ruins just off the highway at Montezuma Castle National Monument. And if you are into historic sites, you might like Jerome - a historic turn of the century mining town with lots of historic buildings - which is perched on the side of Mingus Mountain a little off the main route to the canyon.

To be honest, while Phoenix has lots of resorts, malls, golf courses and movie theaters (like you would find in any big city), it really does not have that many special attractions (historic or otherwise) that are unique to Phoenix and most of the older historic sections have long since been bulldozed and built over. Most of the more interesting historic and natural attractions are a ways outside the city.

There is a beautiful temple in Mesa Arizona, there is also a desert national park and some spectacular desert scenery.
