There’s no doubt that Arkansas has plenty of unique hotels and charming B&Bs but that’s certainly not the end of your lodging options. From castles to Harry Potter cottages, there’s no reason to stay in a boring chain motel during any Arkansas getaway. One more fascinating place to add to the itinerary is this WWII submarine. Filled with history and a truly unique overnight experience, the USS Razorback is a must-visit.
The Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum is well worth a day trip. Though after this article you'll definitely want to stay longer!

Address: 120 Riverfront Park Dr, North Little Rock, AR 72114
The museum features two main attractions - the tugboat Hoga and the submarine USS Razorback. This is the only place in the world to have two floating navy vessels that bookend WWII.
The submarine can be booked for group tours, birthday parties, and (most importantly) sleepovers. Those ages 5 or older can experience the crew quarters during an one-of-a-kind overnight stay.
The close quarters for the night give insight to what crew's faced on a daily basis, albeit in a much more entertaining manner. The slumber party includes educational programming for the evening and a continental breakfast the next day. These group sleepovers are $40/person and can be booked right here.
The submarine sleepovers are an incredible addition to an already fascinating tour.
After you've read the details for spending the night, feel free to follow the museum's Facebook Page. It's a great way to stay up-to-date on their numerous veteran-oriented events!
