Guidebook to Bentonville
City/town information
Medium sized town and growing! World-class everything! Revitalized town square offers unique dinning opportunities and family friendly atmosphere. The entire town is just a few minutes from a mountain bike trail. Three breweries in the entire town, but several others in the area.
Other attractions Amazium (children's museum), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (free), and Skylight Movie Theater (Dine-in Movie experience...very cool)

Food scene
Rogers Arkansas has it's own downtown area that it's made a lot of progress revitalizing. I personally think that the food scene rivals that of Bentonville.
If you've hit all of the restaurants in Bentonville, then Rogers is the next place to frequent.
The Rail pizza, Parkside Public, and Havana Tropical Grill are my three favorite's...but I haven't tried the other places!
There's a play area for the kids along the railroad tracks in front of all of the restaurants. It's handy to let kids run while you're waiting on your table.

For Adults
Kids are welcome, but I don't have any luck getting them to look at Art much. It is worth a try...and you can't be free! North Forest Lights is an Art display in the forest around Crystal Bridges. Kids are usually interested. Best seen at night.
Crystal Bridges IS the home of Rosie the Riveter. Remember her? I suppose you could just dash in to see her and dash out again.

For Everyone
Movie theater and restaurant. I love this place! Dinner and a movie in the same chair! The food is awesome, it's not just concession stand food brought to your chair.
Worth the experience when you're done for the day and looking for one more thing!

A little something for every cyclist. Accessible by a 3 mile long paved trail. Plenty of XC trail to pound and ground. Downhill area. There are some easier trails for less avid folks.
Lots of people walk the paved trail as well. Very scenic and relaxing.

Looking for local flavor? This place is older than most of Bentonville and Rogers area. Don't go unless you like fried chicken because that's all they serve. There aren't any menus because they serve the same thing to everyone.
You get a choice of what you want to drink and you get to pick a dessert (if you have room).
All food is served family style and all you can eat. It's for the local-yocals...bring your banjo...I used to be an outsider, but I've been here long enough...Anyway, I've never gotten tired of the spectacle. No menu? Really? Everyone is welcome. It's a hoot and the food is excellent.
