Okay, so personally modern art is not my thing, but the Momentary is still a really cool place to visit. The Onyx coffee shop on the lower level is pink themed with a drink conveyer belt! And if you want the coolest night spot in the city, check out the sky bar (I recommend getting there when it opens at 5 to get a good seat). 360 degree views and a retro vibe. Sunset is stunning!

As a photographer, I will say this is one of the most beautiful spots we photograph. A big waterfall at the top (coming off the lake) that spills gently down a layered, walkable waterfall into the creek. Bluffs and even a swinging bridge make this a stunning spot to explore. And yes, you are allowed to swim!

If you are in Bentonville, you must visit the Walmart museum and the original Waltons 5&10. Ending at the soda fountain where you can get an ice cream for $1. On Thursday evenings in the summer there is live music in front of Waltons, and on Saturday mornings the entire square transforms into the happiest, most dog-friendly farmers market you’ve ever seen!

If you are traveling with kids, this is a must-see! Especially to let them see the kid-sized Walmart, where they can be a checker, work at the bakery or serve in the cafe!

A neat spot for dinner (several restaurants) and to hang out in the evening. The market is next door to the Momentary (modern art museum) with an outdoor music venue between, so see the website for events!

This place is just so fun! A wall of adopted Billy Bass, it’s not classy, but if you like local dives, this may just be the place. Just off the square, there are lots of spots nearby for a drink or coffee after dinner!

Sushi House
2501 SE 14th StBest sushi around!!! We love the Sams roll and the Razorback roll.
Onyx coffee is on every “best” list in the nation right now, and for good reason! There are three main locations in this area (if you’re a coffee lover, just consider it a pilgrimage to go to them all!). Downtown Rogers is the BIG, headquarters… super cool spot. The Momentary location is pink themed with a coffee conveyer belt, and downtown Bentonville is small but bustling and a convenient spot if you plan to walk the square or attend the farmers market on Saturday morning.
