Quirky by day. Loud by night.
Rogers is a city of about 78,000 people with the world’s largest BB gun sculpture on a downtown corner, a free history museum two blocks over, and a live music scene that runs from a jazz club to an outdoor stage to an 11,000-seat amphitheater. Add a go-kart track, a driving range with a rooftop bar, and a working 1832 grist mill a short drive out, and there’s more to a Rogers day, and night, than the size of the city would suggest.

A small city with more going on than you’d expect
Not everything on this page is inside the Rogers city limits, and there’s no point pretending otherwise. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and The Momentary sit in Bentonville, Razorback Athletics plays in Fayetteville, and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is down in Eureka Springs. What’s true: the Daisy Airgun Museum, the Rogers Historical Museum, the Music Depot, Railyard Live at Butterfield Stage, Topgolf, K1 Speed and the Walmart AMP are all inside Rogers itself, spread across downtown, Midtown and Uptown Rogers. War Eagle Cavern and War Eagle Mill are a short drive out.
A world’s largest BB gun. A working 1832 grist mill. A cave that holds 58°. Welcome to Rogers.
Four ways to spend a day in Rogers
From a $2.50 museum to an 11,000-seat amphitheater, arranged by the kind of day you’re actually after.
01 · History & Museums
Museums with outsized stories
The Daisy Airgun Museum, downtown at 202 W Walnut Street, is $2.50 for ages 16 and up, kids free, and includes an audio tour and a yearly collector’s medallion. Inside: airguns dating back to the 1600s, arranged chronologically to trace Daisy’s history since the company moved its headquarters to Northwest Arkansas in 1958. Out front, the World’s Largest BB Gun sculpture has been a photo stop since 2020. A few blocks over, the Rogers Historical Museum is free, Tuesday through Saturday, with hands-on regional history exhibits inside the historic Hailey Building.
02 · Live Music
A jazz club, an outdoor stage, and 11,000 seats
Downtown, the Music Depot books jazz and blues in an intimate club setting, and Railyard Live at Butterfield Stage, an open-air pavilion next to Railyard Park, runs a summer concert series with covered reserved seating and open lawn. For the biggest touring acts, the Walmart AMP’s 11,000-seat amphitheater rounds it out. It gets its own deep dive on our music page, so we’ll leave the AMP there and give downtown’s smaller stages the spotlight here.
03 · Adrenaline & Games
Topgolf and K1 Speed
Topgolf’s climate-controlled hitting bays, food and rooftop terrace sit in Uptown Rogers, about half a mile from the Rogers Convention Center. Across town in Midtown Rogers, K1 Speed’s electric karts hit up to 45 mph for adult carts and 20 mph on the junior carts, with a singular large track, arcade and a lounge for in between races.
04 · Natural Wonders
A cave and a working mill
War Eagle Cavern, about 10 minutes from downtown, runs a paved, hour-long tour through a cave that holds a steady 58 degrees year-round. A little further out, War Eagle Mill has ground grain on the same spot since 1832, powered by an eighteen-foot cypress waterwheel, and is still Arkansas’ only working watermill, with a store selling its own flours and preserves.
