Things To Do

Mount Sequoyah

This is the location of our reception, but there is tons more going on! The Cross Overlook is one of the highest points in Fayetteville and faces west for a sunset view over downtown. We can help you get a day pass to the gym on campus or open Sequoyah Hall so you can see the art exhibit.

Death Ray Illustration Expo!

The Death Ray Illustration Expo will be running on the same campus as the reception from 10A-4P! If you are interested in seeing an expo full of local art, come by and browse the wares. Folks are encouraged to wear halloween costumes to the expo so it is quite a sight! Free entry.

Mount Sequoyah Woods Trail

This is the trail that starts right next to the reception venue. If you are staying at Mount Sequoyah, consider taking this trail in the morning before the wedding for your excercise!

Little Bread Company

A perfect Saturday morning before the wedding in our minds: visiting Little Bread for a bialy, walking to the Farmer's Market from Little Bread, and then going back to Mount Sequoyah to hike the 1.25 mile long Sequoyah Woods Trail.

The Fayetteville Farmers Market

Open til 2 on Saturdays-- it's kind of like a mini-festival every week. Buskers, flowers, fresh veggies, and prepared food.

Cafe Rue Orleans - Cajun & Seafood

Cafe Rue is amazing Cajun food! It is nestled into the lobby of a defunct motel. The Eggplant Napoleon came to the chef in a dream.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

This free art museum in Bentonville houses amazing works in a stunning building designed by Moshe Safdie. You would be missing a lot of the Northwest Arkansas experience if you didn't stop by.

Crepes Paulette

This casual crepe restaurant has both savory and sweet options. A great choice for while you are in Bentonville to see Crystal Bridges.

Onyx Coffee Lab - Rogers HQ

Onyx is the local fancy coffee roaster. There's a location in Fayetteville, but the Rogers one is a destination. You can loop this stop in with a day trip to Crystal Bridges and the Daisy BB Gun Museum. Otherwise, do try to make it to the Fayetteville location. The coffee really is that good.

Daisy Airgun Museum

If you were planning to go a little further north of us to check out the surrounding area, the airgun museum is a great option. Visit both the museum and Onyx Coffee Lab Headquarters to make a nice afternoon in Rogers.

Glory Hole Falls Trailhead

This is where Adam and I had our first date. The drive to the falls is beautiful, and the falls themselves are unique!

Eureka Springs Downtown

Eureka is a Victorian resort town 1.5 hours away. The drive is beautiful and downtown is charming! fun for a half-day trip. This is another place we visited on our first date!

Fayetteville Public Library

It may seem weird to suggest a public library as a destination, but trust us! This place is amazing! Grab a cup of locally roasted coffee and enjoy the spectacular views with a good book in your hand.

Razorback Greenway

This 37 mile walking/biking trail takes you through Northwest Arkansas. Because a lot of greenspace has been preserved, at times you'll feel like you are outside of town on this trail! A recommended section is from the Fayetteville Public Library to the entertainment district of Dickson Street to Wilson Park.

Dickson Street Bookshop

This shop is a delightful maze of old books. You could spend hours browsing through the towering shelves. A fun book-centered day would consist of parking at the public library, checking out the views from the library's cafe, and then walking the razorback greenway to Dickson Street and getting lost in the Bookshop's stacks. Afterwards, head down Block and check out Hugo's Burgers and Crepes.

Hugo's

Haley's orange cat is named after this place. A basement burgers and crepes place that has been around for decades. Haley's parents went here when they were in college.

Smith Creek Preserve Trailhead

The first 1/2 mile of this trail may seem like a letdown, but if you keep going, you will reach the creek. Amazing powder blue water, cool giant rocks. Breathtaking.

Catfish Hole Fayetteville

Unlimited hush puppies and fixins, plus weird stained glass. Incredibly efficient service and delicious food. For some reason we are always craving this after a long day of hiking.

Gulley Park

Gulley is right across the street from where we live, so we are biased. Beautiful place to watch the sunrise during a morning walk.

Ozark Natural Foods

Our local grocery co-op is about a block away from the Church. It has a cafe/bar and awesome outdoor space. Also: good options for grab-n- go to take on a hike!

Pinpoint

A bar with pinball machines!! One of Adam's favorites.

Arkadia Retrocade

An old school arcade--$5 gets you unlimited play all day. Adam says the machines are works of art. Very kid-friendly!

Maxine's Tap Room

Haley's tuxedo cat is named after this bar. This used to be a dive bar in our parents' day, but now the bar has won national attention as one of America's best bars in Esquire magazine. Dark interior, fancy cocktails, and steps away from Hugo's, another longtime local favorite.

Little Caesars Pizza

Our favorite pizza joint. Judge all you want.

Wood Stone Craft Pizza

if you're feeling fancy pizza and good drinks, this is the place!

Wilson Park

This park features a neat play area for kids that looks like a treehouse, interactive musical sculpture, and of course, the Wilson Park Castle.

Devils Den State Park

A big hunk of True Detective Season 3 was filmed here. Beautiful hiking that's a lot closer than the Buffalo River.

Penguin Ed's Bar-B-Que

Shiloh Museum of Ozark History

Clardy's Cobbler Shoppe

Having a shoe-related emergency? Clardy’s is the best in town. Also the only cobblers in town worth trusting with your shoe repair and care needs. Just call them and tell them you’re with the wedding and they’ll bust it out ASAP
