What a outstanding experience! We’d been here a couple of times before and the plays were very well done, but familiarity with the movies done of A Christmas Carol left me wondering how they’d do it. Well, walking and seeing the set was impressive, it seemed no expense was spared to pull this off, and they did! A fantastic adaptation and creative presentation with outstanding performances by all the cast. I could not have been more impressed. I’m writing this now since we’re going back in a couple of days for another performance of a play and I’m looking forward to another outstanding experience!

Great venue and a great Broadway show. The music and dancing were awesome and the musical followed the original movie very well. Excellent show to go see.

This is a wonderful place to visit if you are at all interested in history and appreciate the aesthetics of all of the pretty white headstones neatly lined up, rows and rows and go on and on. It’s a really cool site to see and the additional information to read along the way brings some of its history to life.

This stadium is better than many minor league parks. There are regular crowds of 8K+ fans calling the hogs. It is a family friendly place but watch out for the outfield where the fans harass the opposing teams outfielders. It is very entertaining to listen. This stadium is fan-based and fans are engaged in play from beginning to end of game. Plus the University of Arkansas baseball team is always ranked in the top!

This library has won all sorts of awards and recognition. There is a coffee shop inside so you can check out a book and have a cup of joe. The architecture alone is worthy of the visit.

We drove down from KC to explore the Greenway. We parked at Fayetteville Lake and rode 20 miles. The Greenway is a gorgeous paved path. We shared the path with walkers and skateboarders. A great place for families and friends to be outdoors.
