Bentonville and Rogers, Arkansas, are seamlessly joined thriving communities with vibrant downtowns, an entrepreneurial spirit, a network of trails, and friendly people. Surrounding natural areas encourage a variety of outdoor recreation on trails, lakes, golf courses, a state park, and more. Bentonville Is known best as the location of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Mountain Bike Capital of the World, and the home offices of Walmart. It is also known for award-winning restaurants, innovative architecture, concerts, and festivals. Rogers is the largest city near Beaver Lake, with the convention center, Walmart AMP (Arkansas Music Pavilion), and shopping. This is one of the fastest growing areas of the nation as Walmart is opening a new headquarters campus, Crystal Bridges is expanding display space, and the housing market is booming. Grammy and CMA Award winning artists perform at two outdoor concert venues. People coming to Bentonville and Rogers—for a few days or moving in—want to know what this area has to offer. Those of us who have been here a while enjoy discovering new destinations. 100 Things to Do in Bentonville/Rogers is a gateway to discovery, an armchair travel guide, a bucket list.

Try a new coffee shop with a unique feature, like The Meteor Cafe, where a bike store blends with coffee, food and wine, and Third Space Coffee at Best Friends, where you can pet cats and dogs, or bike or walk through Color Park to Airship Coffee’s open air cafe, because driving there is not an option. Beaver Lake views along Hwy. 12 can begin a day experiencing Hobbs Mountain State Park, lunch at historic War Eagle Mill, and the refreshingly cool War Eagle Cavern.
