Barnett, Glo Limited, Scarlet and Vesta’s.

West Little Rock also boasts a number of entertainment options, including ice and roller skating at Arkansas Skatium, standup comedy acts at the Loony Bin Comedy Club and high definition, digital movies at Rave Motion Pictures and Dickinson Chenal 9 IMAX Theatre.

If you’re interested in checking out how the locals live, this area encompasses several affluent neighborhoods, including Pleasant Valley, Walton Heights, St. Charles, Villages at Wellington, Pinnacle Valley and Chenal Valley.
