First off, we've got some serious fun on our hands. Little Rock's Statehouse Convention Center is getting taken over by life-size dinosaurs, including those massive Megalodons that swam in ancient oceans. That's right, you're talking dinosaurs, baby! And, if that's not enough, there's also going to be live dinosaur shows, baby dinosaur encounters, and even dinosaur rides. It's like stepping into a freakin' Jurassic Park, minus the whole "running from a T-Rex" thing. Tickets are $30.80-$85, with discounts for first responders through GovX. Get ready to get your dino on!
But, if dinosaurs aren't your thing, don't worry, we've got plenty of other options for you. How about a used book sale? That's right, the Central Arkansas Library System is selling off some awesome paperbacks and hardcovers at its Roberts Library. Paperback books will be just $1, and hardcover books will be a mere $2. And, the best part? This marks the return of the book sale to downtown after the 2023-25 renovation of the Main Library. So, grab your favorite books and get ready to score some serious deals!
And, if books aren't your thing, don't worry, we've got some awesome music going on too. Rodney Jordan is bringing his bass-tastic skills to the ACT II Sharon Heflin Theater for Jazz at The Joint.
