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!

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!

We were in town for a funeral and stayed at a hotel right on the square. We really enjoyed walking around to see all of the beautiful holiday lights & check out the food trucks. The lights really made our photos fantastic!

You should start your Fayetteville visit here. They are friendly and there is a lot to do and see in this area of town, downtown square...favorite time is during the Farmer's Market or Christmas lights.

Spend $5 to stay all day long to play all kinds of retro arcade games, board games, foosball, tv games, and more. You can also have birthday parties at this fine establishment and they have a snack bar.

Ozark Escape is much more than escape rooms - it’s an immersive, interactive experience that creates a whole new story for you. When you pass through our doors you are stepping into a world of intrigue, excitement and adventure. Our rooms are designed for engagement and experience, with puzzles and challenges that rely on collaboration and creativity.
My family of five (3 late teens 17, 17, 19, me (44) snd my husband (67)) all had a blast in the MISSING room. The gentleman who oversaw our experience (Chris I think) was awesome. Patient, fun, and did everything he could to help us solve the mystery without giving it away.Highly recommend and the next time we are in Fayetteville we will go again!
