Northwest Arkansas just topped another list-the most number of people moved here! 😅 We're only a little excited…it's driving up home prices, but helping businesses! Enjoy our beautiful little section of the world…full of nature and the friendliest people. 🥰

The MOST AMAZING BIKE PARK, also thanks to the Walton family. The rock work is impressive, trails are well-groomed. Northwest Arkansas is now the mountain bike capital of the world. My son won his (first) first place medal here! 🥹
Centennial Park
Another beautiful bike trail, but mostly unseen. You have to ride it to experience it. It's rare to catch a site of your rider if you're just watching a race! Well-kept trail. They're are also baseball & soccer fields, restrooms & concessions during games. Come early or park far.
Mount Kessler - OZ Trails Northwest Arkansas
You just have to check it out. Outside with nature, the square full of gardens and flowers (take some pictures!). Fresh flowers, handmade goods, fresh produce, art, and a taste of the local scene. Since 1973.
Fayetteville Farmers' Market
Restaurants
Inside is fun, but the rooftop is where it's at. Delicious, gorgeous views, and definitely the coolest place to see and be seen!
Feed and Folly
So beautiful, and amazing photo opportunities with Old Main right beside it. Sunset outside before or after dinner is amazing. Catch some golden hour…best lighting around.
Ella's Table (inside the Inn at Carnall Hall, University of Arkansas)
Ok, it's kinda a local dive. But the pizza and cheesy bread are divine. Mostly locals only. The staff is wonderful and oh-so-friendly. You'll go back again and again. ❤️
Geraldi's Pizza
An old favorite. Wonderful, warm, friendly, and the food is always so good. There's a tiny outdoor deck for summer dining between buildings. Our family loves it. You can order spice 1-5, start at 3 or 4. My son always adds curry powder also. Worth it, I promise.
Taste of Thai, Center Street of Square
Arts & Entertainment
Mostly for the younger crowd when school's in session, but a hoppin' place! Frequently standing room only!
Tin Roof: Fayetteville Bar | Live Music
Come see the Razorbacks play ball! Small enough to feel like a hometown stadium, but ALWAYS PACKED, so order tickets early! Sit on the north side if it's cold weather, west if it's summer. Trust me.
Baum-Walker Stadium
So thankful for the Waltons who've given so generously to our area. Truly a wonderful theater dedicated to bringing us the most theatrical shows-and offering a nice range of seat prices. Dress up or down…the choice is yours. Enjoy dinner or drinks on Dickson before or after a show!
Walton Arts Center
Local Favorites
The views from here over Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas campus are simply amazing. Sunset from here is close to ethereal. Snowy weather, summer dusk, all amazing. Take pictures, and breathe. Also, this used to be a common parking spot for teens, but it's a little too busy now, haha.
Mount Sequoyah Cross
Makes me cry. I graduated from the UA, and this is the most iconic location. Take pictures on the east side with the huge doors. Find your name on Senior Walk out front (or all over campus). Mine just happens to be on the east side. ❤️ Ask a local, and they'll tell you all about it. The north tower is higher because the north won the civil war. The lawn is public property, so take a picnic, and take family pictures.
Old Main, University of Arkansas
You CAN NOT match the spirit in the stadium and before the games! Dressed to the nines, catch the adorable outfits and spirit wear, then enjoy the GAME! The marching band is top tier, the crowd is WILD, and the views are amazing. Come for a show, and leave with a sore throat from yelling and cheering! Shorts in the summer, blankets & coats in the winter. Oh, and the food is wonderful too! ❤️
Reynolds Razorback Stadium
Gardens
Explore with kids, enjoy at your leisure, or reserve a space for a party or soiree. We used to have our girls' tea party inside then enjoy the gardens afterward. Photographic opportunities galore. Also…you can schedule an outdoor wedding in the central space, and it's breaktaking. It's also on the Razorback Greenway, so stop by!
