About the Venue

Scott Family Amazeum is Northwest Arkansas' biggest indoor hands-on museum-style play destination, with a much broader range of exhibits than a typical indoor playground. Families can rotate through imaginative play, tinkering, art, climbing, water play, and early-learner areas, which makes it work well for mixed ages and repeat visits. It is especially appealing for families who like open-ended exploration and membership value rather than a single soft-play structure. Expect a busier, more exploratory visit than a small timed play space.
