The 10 best things to do in Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville and Springdale,
AKA, northwest ARkansas
#1 Crystal Bridges
Even if you're not a museum go-er, it's still a must stop.
one because it's free, two because it has some very amazing and expensive
pieces in it ($35 million dollar painting) Like most things in this area,
it's tied to the Walmart Family. Also, Norman Rockwell’s Rosie the Riveter.
Thing #1.5 to see the grounds directly around it, all 120 acres
which are filled with art pieces and trails galore.
Also, things #2 to see since you're right here is the Frank Lloyd Wright’s Bachman-Wilson House.
#3, let's get this one over with, you all know Walmart is not only
10 min. down the road from wherever you're watching this from,
but hey, jokes aside, learning about Walmart was very interesting
and I'd go again.. I'd go again because It was closed! Renovations until 2024. The museum itself which
was quite a walk away on a windy non-summer day (that means it was cold)
Anyway, from the pictures i saw it looked really cool and I'd go back,
however, what we saw was still worth the stop. The museum was interesting with old uniforms to an interactive world map and even Sam Walton himself.. well.. mostly. But it was words he actually said and it was fun.
#3.5 is to get ice cream at the food truck in front, called The Spark. And then explore the Bentonville Downtown Square. I usually get plain chocolate. I felt brave and tried the f150 because of Sam Walton's truck usually parked in front. I do regret it, I didn't like it, it was like liquid red velvet cake. My mom who went with me got the strawberry and she really liked hers.
Ok 4 on this list is the Pineapple Hills Lemonade... just kidding,
that's what it's called when you drive by too fast, it's the Pinnacle Hills Promindae
in Rogers. It's shopping galore on 152 acres in this open air mall, over 100 retailers.
#5 takes us out of the city and into the wilderness of Hobbs State park. there's plenty of outdoor activities you can find here in Arkansas's largest state park at over 12 thousand acres with 54 miles of trails, campsites, and, the only park in Arkansas that allows regulated hunting but in this video, I'm going to focus on the War Eagle Mill. It's not only a pretty mill with a cafe, cute gift shop, and a craft show in October.
Lets move to #6, Ozark botanical gardens.
And lets take #7 back up and around and through the woods to grandmas house we go... no.. but it is 40 miles of fun, the Razorback greenway! Take a bike ride through Fayetteville, Johnson, Springdale, Lowell, Rogers, Bentonville, and Bella Vista. there's many stops along the way and there are many shops to rent one.
#8, what this area is also known for other than Walmart, mountain biking. More than 250 miles of top-tier mountain bike trails, offering cyclists one of the best singletrack experiences in the nation.
With the rugged terrain of the Ozarks, and one of the most progressive cycling cultures in the country, Northwest Arkansas has invested in an impressive infrastructure. Trails include downhill runs with shuttles, a best-in-class jump park, pump tracks and skills courses. The area has earned a reputation as one of the top off-road cycling destinations.
Number 9 is that Daisy also got their start here. It was closed yet again on the day we went, which means check the hours before you head there. but it looks like a really cool museum
#10 on the list is 8th street market.

Thanks! Glad to hear it was helpful! 😄
Who knew Arkansas had all of this going on????? 😃
Walmart history, Razorbacks, Mountain biking, Daisy, Awesome Museums and,
best of all if you’re a Ford Fan......
F-150 Ice cream cones!!! 🍦😋 ( although you Dani, say it wasn’t your fav ice cream flavor)🤣
Awesome guide (: , your sense of humor makes it better , don't stop!!
Aw thank you Franco! I am still planning on making more content for a while! 😄
You’ve got a great voice!
Thanks!! 🙂
You missed the Musicians that show up on the Bentonville Square on Friday Nights! The City does First Fridays, the Pickers are there during pleasant weather from Mid April to October. Then there is the Pea Ridge Military Park, a Civil War National Park! Just outside of Bentonville the Park is a good place to bike or run.
Thanks for the additional ideas, those are great!!
The parks and other outdoors sites are so much better in the green seasons. It’s pretty brown & desolate-looking here otherwise.
This museum just fantastic. I visited it in 2021 . I received huge expression. 😂😂😂
Like, ‘I got (or felt) a big impression’?
That was a really great video, Dani. The museum looks spectacular. I definitely need to take a road trip there and bring my bike to ride the Greenway.
Thank you Jeff!! Awesome comment, so glad you liked my video! The museum was really awesome, and I bet you won’t be disappointed bringing your bike! 😄
Hope your week has been good so far!
@@HeyChannelDani Thanks, Dani. I hope your week is going well also.
Great vlog, Dani! You deserve a million views!
Thank you Michael, you're always so kind! ☺ Hope you're doing well!
Thanks the great video! :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed my video! :)
Unexpected video abt the home town
How about Jobs in Bentonville? Thanks! subd
Stay away from Fayetteville they have toooo many ordinances rules etc etc and the taxes are higher! Businesses are leaving and moving north to Benton County!
Did I miss something here, is she a realtor or business promoter? I thought this vid was for travelers & sightseers. And even so, Fayetteville STILL is a worthwhile destination in addition to B’ville.
Fayetteville sucks, thats why so many people are moving away, businesses and residents.@@Cycology_Major
The CB museum is so overrated. It's just another museum like every other, the only amazing thing about it is that it's free.
Oh and don't forget the kayaking.
I think your jaundiced view would be a little more worthy IF NWA was stuffed with world class museums… but it isn’t . So we don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Right off the bat you show the same crap thats all over tv, movies commercials, college, everywhere you look that people want to move somewhere to get the hell away from amd stop seeing every time you look up everwhere you go figured its all youll see in arkansas too
I understand your point, but I used that footage as an example of the “typical” things you may expect… if you continue watching you’ll see it’s a rhetorical intro showing there’s more to Bentonville that your “average midwestern town.” But If you know of anything else interesting to do in Bentonville that I didn’t mention, please leave a comment with that to share with other viewers!
