lawrence plaza ice rink and splash park

This place is an absolute blast for kids and is located right in the middle/near of some major Bentonville attractions. I usually visit Crystal Bridges Museum, 21c Hotel & museum,eat lunch on the square and bribe my kids to be good by promising to bring them here afterwards. It wears them out in a good way. I will say I wish it were bigger but as far as I know this is our area's only outdoor ice rink so at least we have one! When it is a splash pad it is free.In winter the ice rink is $5 per person which is still reasonable. Near the holidays (especially after Christmas but before new years when everyone is off) the ice rink reaches capacity- so it is sometimes helpful to go get tickets for a session ahead of time then come back.

Traveling with my 8 yr. old granddaughter to visit family in Bentonville and coming upon the Ice Rink on an early Saturday afternoon insured that our trip was a real success. We had to skate immediately. And after watching the end to the Christmas Carol on the Big Outdoor screen we had to return as early as we could on Sunday. Very friendly and helpful staff, great ice and skates to rent was complete with families and children on the ice all skating with consideration and respect for each other's right to a safe and enjoyable moment together. What a treasure.

This is a fun outing for the young ones. We took some balls and cups and they had a blast. Be aware of very young children wearing sagging diapers and some not even wearing diapers!Across you can have a crepe or tacos and next to the park they have shaved ice.They have restrooms and space for the parents to sit and watch.

If its cold outside and its ice skating weather this is a nice little place to have some fun with friends and family. Gather for some hot chocolate , get your mittens on and have a fun time ice skating. If its hot out, sit back relax and let the kids run through the shooting sprays of water. Nice place to just sit back and relax.
