My grandson and I loved it. The view was spectacular and you could spend as much time as needed to take in the view. If you have children with you, bring quarters for the telescopes.

Love the Mtn. Tower!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/31/09
My wife and I went to the tower on a short vacation. We paid $7.00 to go up and we loved every second of it. It was well worth the money!!! My wife couldn't get enough of the view, and she really enjoyed the cheap gift shop at the bottom. We both thought the employees of the tower were very helpful and nice. They helped us locate some attractions and gave us some great information to help enjoy our stay in Hot Springs.
It's a great view. The entire town can be seen, out to all the surrounding mountains. There's lots of information about the history of the town. I've noticed a lot of people's problem with it was the price. I don't understand how $6 dollars is that bad... but, if you get one of the city maps on the cashier's counter ...
THE EMPLOYEES WERE NOT VERY FRIENDLY. THE GIFT SHOP HAD A NICE VARIETY OF SOUVENIR. THE VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE TOWER WAS AMAZING. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ATTRACTION TO OTHERS. IF YOU GO AS A GROUP OF 10 OR MORE YOU GET A DISCOUNT.

A nice brief stop

My family was driving through Arkansas on the way to our main destination in Texas. We decided to take a short trip off the freeway to see the Ozarks. We ate a picnic lunch on the road up to the mountain tower and then visited the tower itself. The picnic area was nice, and our kids (2,4, and 7) really enjoyed the tower. If you're on a long ...

I thought the view was breathtaking. I lived in the Hot Springs area for about 15 years and never went up there. I recently visited while on Vacation and it snowed, making everything that much more beautiful. If you are looking for something that is going to amuse the daft, this isn't for you, but if you truly love nature, you will find that ...

Mountain Tower pretty cool
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/05/07
Great views of Hot Springs and surrounding area, nice little gift shop at the top. Should see at least once while in Hot Springs.
I thought the cost of $6.00 per person was too high just to see the scenery. There were two binoculars there, but one was broken.
