Traveler advice
Don't miss
The Boston Mountains, A must see!!
The Boston mountains are supposed to be one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world.
Getting around
Vehicles are the best way to get around
Not a lot of distance between places here. Bikes might work, goodness knows there are plenty of folks riding them!
Customs and culture
The World Mountain Bike Convention
Once a year, it is a must see. Bentonville is the host city and they go all out. Inviting some ranked riders to do tricks on a newly built (every year) course. It is amazing, whether you are a bike rider or not!
Ways to save
Walmart is close, and it is where they are based!
Lots of ways to save. We have a fairly low standard of living rate around here. Gas prices will be lower than most places. Picking up your own groceries and cooking in our fully outfitted kitchens will save you a lot!
Book before you go
Book the Crystal Museum
This Walton financed and supported museum features some incredible exhibits.
What to pack
We have all four seasons here
Pack light in the summer and heavy in the winter. The fall and spring are usually balmy. Bring something to get in the water, if you like that. 7 lakes, rivers all around. . . if it is warm enough enjoy our water features. Also, comfy shoes for a lot of walking. we have hundreds of miles of trails.
Useful phrases
Most Folks are really friendly here
Be ready to enjoy some southern hospitality. This region is pretty conservative, but known for being friendly. You could meet someone, in line at the grocery store, and might be invited to dinner that night. haha
Traveling with kids
This is a very family friendly place
Branson is very close with some great theme parks, but the rest of the things outdoors, including water, trails, parks, etc., are tailor made for kiddos.
