Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Noise is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans" and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway and head out on the road across the U.S.

Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.

Presented in association with and endorsed by Neil Diamond.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

For nearly four decades, Nightmares Haunted House has stood as one of the most iconic and chilling Halloween attractions in all of Arkansas. Nestled on the outskirts of Bella Vista in nearby Bentonville, this terrifyingly immersive experience has grown from humble beginnings into a community-powered spectacle that draws thousands of thrill-seekers each fall. Come experience our haunt this 2025 fall season, we will be open every Friday and Saturday night until November 1st. Our ticket booth opens each night at 7pm and closes at 11pm.

This fall, roam a world outside time as acclaimed studio Klip Collective uses light, sound, and state-of-the-art projection mapping to transform acres of Ozark nature into a one-of-a-kind journey across time and space.

Designed exclusively for the museum’s North Forest, this outdoor, site-responsive experience features six immersive installations for you and your crew to explore. Witness the natural rhythms of the Earth brought to life, see yourself fractured across the surface of a broken time machine, marvel together at the movements of the forest in a landscape of light, and more.

Backed by a custom soundtrack and open during the Ozarks’ most beautiful season, Time Loop truly offers an outdoor experience unlike any in Northwest Arkansas.

Every time it rains, litter that is left on the ground washes to creeks and streams. You can help. Pick Up Where You Play is a series of litter cleanups happening throughout Northwest Arkansas during the fall months. Last year over 500 volunteers removed trash from parks, trails, creeks, rivers, and lakes. Volunteers are entered to win adventures in the 3 major watersheds of NWA.

The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press is one of JR’s most extensive immersive and experiential works to date.

After the experience, visitors leave with their own, one-of-a-kind print.
