You will need to pick up some tickets, since they have to limit the number of people on the ice at once for safety purposes, but these tickets are, you guessed it, free. If your plans are on the warmer end of the scale, you can take a dip in their indoor swimming pool, slide down the water slide or take your little one into the kiddie pool, complete with a fountain in the shape of a mushroom. Bleachers surround the pool for those who just want to watch the fun. For those of us who are watchers instead of doers, they have plenty to keep us busy too. All that is required is that you fill out a registration card at the desk.
Classes cover everything from Ice Skating to computers.
And, if you don t have a baby sitter, drop the kids off at KidsPlus, a childcare facility available to parents while taking advantage of the center s many programs, all at no cost. To visit the Harvey and Bernice Jones Center for Families, take highway 412 into Springdale, Arkansas and turn north onto Old Missouri Road, then left on Emma. It sits on the corner of Old Missouri and Emma. If you are coming into Springdale from the north, you can take 71 south until you reach Emma, turn left and follow it all the way out to the center. With all the center has to offer, it is the perfect stop for families while in the area.
