Start planning a weekend summer trip to northwest Arkansas! The brand-new Amazeum family discovery center has announced its official opening date as July 15, 2015.

The family museum is the first of its kind in Northwest Arkansas and will be situated near the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville. The children's museum will officially be known as the Scott Family Amazeum, in honor of supporters and advocates, Lee and Linda Scott.

The Amazeum will feature hands-on activities, such as a tinkering studio, a climbable tree canopy, indoor caves and an art studio. In addition, approximately one acre of outdoor space will accommodate year-round learning and provide a backdrop for experiments and workshops inspired by the seasons. Read more about some of the permanent exhibits here.

One permanent exhibit, sponsored by Walmart, will be called The Market. In the interactive space, kids can pretend to shop for groceries, work behind the butcher counter or in the bakery, play cashier and more.

The museum will open to the public July 15; until then, keep up with its progress at Amazeum.org or on the Facebook page here.
