Bentonville Travel Guide

A city in US state Arkansas, Bentonville is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of retail giant Walmart - the store even has its own museum here where visitors can learn about the company’s story. However, the city is home to much more, with stunning nature walks, prominent displays of art and a buzzing music scene.

Things to Do in Bentonville

Make your way to the Crystal Palace Museum of American Art, the building alone is an architectural marvel. Echoing the shape of the hills, with copper roofs that mirror mounds of dirt, the museum aims to unite the power of nature with the beauty of art. Ideal for families, the museum hosts a variety of trails through the grounds, as well as outdoor art exhibits.

Get involved with local music in Bentonville at Meteor Gallery, a century old movie theatre now converted into a guitar shop. Decorated with local art, the venue is the place to be for the coolest music, film, and party events in the city.
