Pinnacle Hills Promenade is at the middle of this growth.  The mall is an outdoor shopping center featuring over 100 stores and 15 restaurants with plenty of parking surrounding the mall.  Pinnacle Hills Promenade is anchored at its edges by Bass Pro Shop, Dillard’s, JC Penney, and Malco Pinnacle Cinema.  You will also find family favorites like Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW), Gap, Build-A-Bear, Lululemon, Kendra Scott, and more.

Bonus Tip: Head outdoors for even more family fun once the rain clears.

While most people tend to spend more time indoors during the winter, Northwest Arkansas actually has fairly mild winter temperatures. In fact, winter often offers some of the best days for outdoor play at public parks. Plenty of people find hiking city park trails or Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area trails and riding mountain bikes at The Railyard Bike Park to be kid-approved winter activities.
