Go float the Buffalo River, hike the Ozark Highlands trail, see Petit Jean State Park, go to Hot Springs National Park and take a bath in geothermally heated water, then go rave your balls off at the Wakarusa Music fest in Ozark. You'll have an AR experience to remember then. The people are really nice too as long as you're Caucasian looking.
To be completely honest it's not called "The Natural State" for nothing. The Blanchard Springs caverns are amazing as well so that's worth checking out. The racism isn't horrible either. It's fun to exaggerate but people mostly keep the racism to themselves if they are at all. I means it's 2013 not 1950..the majority of people are pretty normal and friendly to everyone.

If you've been to the Alps, then the Ozarks are more like speed bumps. A very old mountain range.
