Things to do in Northwest Arkansas!

Scott Family Amazeum

For anyone with kiddos, this is such a fun place to spend a morning or afternoon!

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Fayetteville Farmer's Market & Historic Square

The farmer’s market is full of fresh produce, flowers, baked goods, art, and live music! It’s the perfect place to enjoy the charm of Fayetteville and it’s where Robert and Blaire had one of their first dates!

The University of Arkansas

Take a tour of the University of Arkansas. Blaire and many of our family members have their names carved into the sidewalks. See if you can find them!

Eureka Springs

This is a fun town to visit for a day trip or overnight stay that’s only an hour away. Check out the shops and restaurants downtown. If you’re looking for overnight accommodations check out the tree house options.

Breweries and Bars

Maxine's Tap Room

A Fayetteville staple, and one of the best Palomas in Northwest Arkansas.

Orthodox Farmhouse Brewery

Natural State Beer Company

Restaurants

City Park

This is where Robert and Blaire had their first date (and Winston too)! They have the best burgers in Northwest Arkansas.

Wright's Barbecue Johnson

We always argue about the best barbecue in Northwest Arkansas, but we decided to include Rob‘s favorite. Come ready for a wait, but really good food.

Penguin Ed's Bar-B-Que

Blaire’s parents have been coming here since they were in college! There are so many fun memories and great food too! Highly recommend trying the fried chocolate pie, and you cannot go without getting the batter dipped fries!

Mezzaluna Pasteria & Mozzarella Bar Bentonville

Hugo's

This is a classic Fayetteville burger joint in downtown. It’s underground and small and the wait list can get long. We recommend putting your name on the list then heading to Maxine’s down the street to grab a drink while you wait.

La Media Luna

Table Mesa Bistro

Junto

Super wonderful sushi!

Hikes

One of our favorite things to do is to go on hikes together in Northwest Arkansas! We bring our dog Winston and go on hikes at least once a month. We highly recommend using the AllTrails app and ensuring you’re prepared for the hike.

Yellow Rock Trailhead

One of Blaire’s goals last year was to go hiking every month. Robert was so intentional about making that happen. This trail is one of her favorites from college with a beautiful rock overlook.

Mount Kessler, Fayetteville Traverse Trailhead

A great trail right on the edge of town!

Bayyari Park & Mountain Bike Trails

A great hike of boulders just on the outskirts of town!

Glory Hole Falls Trailhead

A beautiful hike featuring a waterfall! Pack a picnic and enjoy!
