Crater of Diamonds State Park Facilities

Information Center & Gift Shop

Begin your visit at the park visitor center. Here you will be able to view diamonds in the rough and explore our interactive exhibits that explain why diamonds are present here at Arkansas’s diamond site. Then, pass through the Diamond Discovery Center on your way to prospect in the diamond search area. Here, exhibits, interpretive programs, and a video show you the various ways to search for diamonds and identify rough diamonds as you prospect. The search area is open daily throughout the year, except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Pets are allowed in all facilities, with the exception of the park gift shop and Diamond Springs Water Park, as long as they remain on a leash under the owner's control at all times.
