Rain is common, and light snow or freezing rain is possible in the Ouachita Mountains.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Dress code
Hot Springs is a casual resort town and this is an offroad products show, so smart casual is the norm: jeans or workwear with a jacket are common on the floor, while a collared shirt suits dealer and distributor meetings.
Arrival and badge pickup
Arrive early on day one to collect badges and to walk the hall before the busiest hours. Because the venue is in a compact downtown district, most attendees reach it on foot from nearby hotels.
Tipping and payment
Tipping at 15-20 percent is standard in US restaurants and bars, and card payment is accepted almost everywhere. Carry a little cash for small vendors and parking.
Around the city
Hot Springs is a national park city, with Bathhouse Row and Hot Springs National Park in the downtown core, plus Oaklawn for racing and gaming. It is a leisure destination as well as a meeting city, so book dining and spa time ahead on show evenings.
Driving and trails
Distances inside Hot Springs are short, but surrounding roads climb into the Ouachita Mountains where winter conditions can change quickly. If you plan to combine the show with trail or OHV riding, check land-use rules and closures before you go.

Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Hot Springs; confirm local availability before travel.

Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Offroad Products Expo usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 14
Confirm the January 2027 dates and daily hours on offroadproductsexpo.com, then lock in your Hot Springs hotel early because January inventory in this resort city is limited.
Day 12
Compare flights into Little Rock (LIT) and price a rental car for the roughly one-hour drive to Hot Springs, or price a shuttle or sedan transfer instead.
Day 11
Decide whether you are driving in, and check the Hot Springs Convention Center parking plan and daily rate before you commit.
Day 9
Pre-buy your $20 general admission (children 12 and under are free) and save the ticket or QR code to your phone and to a screenshot.
Day 7
Map the floor by product interest, for example side-by-side suspension, tires and wheels, winches and recovery, lighting, and overlanding storage, so you spend time comparing specs not wandering.
Day 5
List the specific questions you want answered per brand: fitment for your machine, load ratings, warranty length, and whether the part is stocked by a local dealer.
Day 4
Check the January forecast for Hot Springs and pack layers, a waterproof jacket, broken-in walking shoes, and a tote for catalogs and small parts.
Day 3
Download the venue address and rideshare pin, and save a backup phone number for your hotel in case rideshare coverage is thin at closing time.
Day 2
Charge a power bank, pack a tape measure or thread gauge if you plan to verify hardware, and note booth numbers for follow-up.
Day 1
Arrive at opening for badge pickup and a quieter first pass, then return to the busiest booths mid-afternoon when staff have more time for detailed fitment questions.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
When and where is the Off Road Products Expo?
The expo is scheduled for January 2027 at the Hot Springs Convention Center in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Confirm the final show dates and daily opening hours on offroadproductsexpo.com before you book flights or hotel rooms.
How much does admission cost?
General admission is listed at $20 per person and covers the entire event, and children 12 and under enter free. Check the organiser site for any multi-day or group options before travelling.
What can I actually see on the show floor?
Expect side-by-side and UTV machines, ATV and dirt bike parts, 4x4 and Jeep aftermarket components, tires and wheels, winches and recovery gear, LED lighting, overlanding and camping equipment, and rider apparel and helmets, along with dealer and fabricator displays.
Which airport should I fly into for Hot Springs?
Most attendees fly into Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) in Little Rock, roughly an hour's drive from Hot Springs. Hot Springs Memorial Field (HOT) handles general aviation, so private and charter arrivals can land in town.
How do I get from the airport to the convention center?
The usual options are a rental car for the drive from Little Rock on US-70 or I-30, a pre-booked shuttle or sedan service, or a ride-hailing trip booked on arrival. Confirm return-trip availability on show days, as demand spikes around opening and closing hours.
Are there hotels within walking distance of the venue?
Yes. Embassy Suites by Hilton is attached to the Hot Springs Convention Center, The Hotel Hot Springs is about 140 m away, and The Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa is roughly 800 m away. DoubleTree by Hilton Hot Springs is also in the city for a short drive or rideshare.
Where can I park at the convention center?
On-site parking is available at the Hot Springs Convention Center. Confirm current daily rates, gate access, and any event-specific parking plan on the venue or organiser website close to your travel date.
What is the weather like in Hot Springs in January?
January is the coldest month here, with daytime highs typically in the upper 40s to mid 50s F and overnight lows near or just below freezing. Rain is common and light snow or ice is possible, so pack layers and a waterproof jacket for the walk between hotels and the hall.
Can I bring a vehicle or trailer to the show?
The venue is a downtown convention center rather than a track or trail park, so plan on a static show floor. If you intend to bring a machine, trailer, or display unit, clear it with the organiser in advance.
Is the expo suitable for families and new riders?
Yes. Children 12 and under enter free, and youth machines, helmets, goggles, and starter apparel are part of the product mix. Keep in mind that some booths display full-size machines with hot or moving parts during demos.
