Big Blue: Bentonville’s Mobile Visitor Center for Free Maps, Trail Guides & Local Tips

For nearly 30 years, Visit Bentonville has been dedicated to welcoming visitors and helping you make the most of your time here. Since the Bentonville Advertising and Promotion Commission was founded in 1996, we’ve continually evolved to meet the needs of travelers—whether that meant championing our first bike trails or creating new ways to enhance your experience today. Our latest innovation? Big Blue, a mobile visitors center parked near the downtown square, is ready to help you explore Bentonville. Here’s what you can expect when you stop by!

Finding Us

📍207 NE 2nd Street, Bentonville, AR 72712

Big Blue is parked in the gravel lot at the corner of NE 2nd Street and NE B Street. Parking here is completely free, just like all public lots in Bentonville. When you arrive, head to the southwest corner of the lot—that’s where you’ll find us.

Pro Tip: Bentonville is known for its public art, and this spot is an ideal starting point for any walking art tour. Look up at 21c to see The 21st Collection by mural artist Mantra. This impressive moth mural is the perfect way to kick off your Bentonville adventure. Explore our Public Art Map. 

Step Up to Big Blue

Big Blue is an adventure in itself! The awning stretches wide, inviting you to pause and soak in the moment. A picnic table sits ready for your quick break or a little planning session before you explore Bentonville. Our team is always nearby, ready to spark some fun with a friendly round of Connect Four or a towering game of Jenga. And for those traveling with furry companions? We’ve got treats on hand—because every good pup deserves a snack and a few scritches in exchange for a handshake!
