Start your trip by immersing yourself in some world-class theatre performances at TheatreSquared. This theatre produces a variety of adult and children’s plays by very talented local performers all year. Because of its small size, the theatre’s intimate atmosphere makes it a consistent favorite among visitors and locals alike. If you are looking for a Broadway experience in the hills of the Ozarks, purchase an event ticket at the Walton Arts Center. A larger venue than TheatreSquared, its prime location near downtown bars and restaurants and the university campus makes for a great night out. Known by many as “the place to be before a Razorbacks game,” the Fayetteville Downtown Square & Gardens oozes small town charm with its farmers market and wide variety of perennials and native plants; all this built on top of an asphalt parking lot.
If you are an aircraft and military history buff, drive 15 minutes out-of-town to the Arkansas Air Museum to walk through three buildings full of planes, helicopters, military vehicles, guns and memorabilia from the Golden Age of Aviation. Stretch your legs and get some fresh air on the seven-mile trail encircling Lake Fayetteville. Comprised of 458 acres of land and 194 of water, this area offers an incredible amount of recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and nature-lovers. Stay outdoors and spend a few educational hours at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. Gain an appreciation for the natural ecosystem of the Ozarks at the site’s nine themed gardens on 10 acres of land. As a special bonus, a butterfly house and chicken coop are available to visit for your amusement.
There is so much to do in Fayetteville—you'll need a warm, cozy bed to escape to at day’s end. Stay with Choice Hotels and feel at home, no matter how long your stay!
