Climbers between the ages of 13 and 15 may climb unsupervised in the gym provided they have indirect (onsite) supervision by either a 16+ immediate family member or 18+ supervisor that may be related or unrelated. Climbers ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

After your climb, walk next door to Bentonville Brewing Co., where a rotating selection of local food trucks awaits.

It’s a great spot to relax, hydrate, and soak in the local vibe before heading to your next activity.

Next, take a 10-minute walk to The Quiver Archery Range, a public outdoor range with 20 lanes stretching up to 70 meters. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned archer, certified instructors are on hand to guide you, and all equipment is provided.

From The Quiver, follow the walkway toward Lake Bentonville, a peaceful spot surrounded by walking trails, picnic areas, and a playground. Here, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard, cast a line for fishing, or simply enjoy the scenery.

Then head deep into to Osage Park, just steps away. With 8 pickleball courts, wetland boardwalks, and art-inspired trails, Osage offers a mix of recreation and nature. Keep an eye out for wildlife like beavers, river otters, and muskrats, and spot birds such as the Great Blue Heron and Belted Kingfisher.

Thaden Fields, located right next to Osage Park, is a great way to wrap up the day. Watch planes take off, land, and stroll around the aviation campus. Afterwards, you could head over to Louise, an all-day cafe that offers dinner-inspired meals and overlooks the planes
