1. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville
If you're into art you'll love this place, and if you don't love art you'll still love that your Instagram game will improve 100% with all the cool paintings and encouraged non-flash photography.
2. Frank Lloyd Wright's Bachman-Wilson House, Bentonville
This house is a newer extension of Crystal Bridges and looks like it would be so fun to tour. Get your tickets before you go because there is limited space!
3. Thorncrown Chapel, Eureka Springs
I have to admit this is on the list because I like to admire the beauty of places like this. I will go somewhere purely if it's pretty and this is definitely worth visiting.
4. Castle Rogue's Manor, Eureka Springs
Again, another place that is on here for sheer beauty. You can tour this place! It may not be a true medieval castle but if you can't afford to just go to Europe and look at a real historical castle, this place is just as good.
5. Golden Kolache Bakery, Fayetteville
This place was on a Buzzfeed list of the best bakery in every state. That's a pretty big deal. It's never gets extremely busy and if I were you, I'd hop on the bandwagon before it does.
6. Hugo's, Fayetteville
Best burger I've ever had, hands down. They also sell crepes. Weird, I know, but everything from this place is A-MA-ZING.
7. Local Flavor Cafe, Eureka Springs
Eureka Springs is a hidden gem. The Local Flavor Cafe is an embodiment of everything Eureka Springs and turned into food. This restaurant is the perfect place to be on a nice spring day.
8. Alchemy, Fayetteville
First of all, best macarons you'll ever have. With a great variety of unique and classic flavors, it'll take so much restraint not to order one of everything.
9. Kream, Fayetteville
Not only are the flavor combinations to die for, they also can make you an ice cream sandwich out of a DONUT! I've never cared less about calories in my life.
10. The Walmart Museum, Bentonville
If you're in Northwest Arkansas, you have to go the Walmart Museum. It's basically a rite of passage.
11. Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks, Springdale
Another place on this list for its beauty! Every botanical garden is beautiful, but this one knocks it out of the park.
12. Farmer's Market, Fayetteville
Voted #5 in the nation, this farmer's market is the most fun you could have on a Saturday in Fayetteville (Yes that was shade to our football team, get it together boys).
Open on the downtown square April – October Tuesday, Thursday (7 am – 1 pm) and April to November Saturday (7 am – 2 pm).
13. Peel Mansion Museum and Heritage Gardens, Bentonville
Not only can you tour this super cool and beautiful mansion, you can also rent it!
14. Quigley's Castle, Eureka Springs
Another cool castle that is really worth visiting! It also has a really cool story so touring it can be fun and interesting.
15. Downtown Bentonville
Everything in Downtown Bentonville is so awesome. It's a pretty touristy place but it's really fun and sometimes you have to be a tourist to see some cool things.
16. Mount Sequoyah, Fayetteville
Watching the sunrise/sunset on Mount Sequoyah is something everyone should do at least once in their life. I would go for sunrise though because there aren't as many people there.
17. Fayetteville's Funky Yard Sale
Not much can be said about this place because it's just so cool. Once you walk in and look around, you'll never want to leave.
18. Hammontree's Grilled Cheese, Fayetteville
If you like grilled cheese, this place will be heaven. They have so many different types of grilled cheese and the price is college student approved.
19. Mildred B. Cooper Chapel, Bella Vista
Okay, this is the last place on the list that's on it just for beauty. Look at it, though. It deserves to be on this list.
20. Burton's Comfort Creamery, Fayetteville
Four Words: Ice Cream Food Truck. How trendy? Ben Rector has his own flavor here, which is also very trendy. If you've ever talked to anyone that has ever been in Fayetteville, you know that Burton's is the best.
