Take A Trip Back To The 1950s With A Visit To The Spark Café And Soda Fountain In Arkansas
If you weren’t lucky enough to experience the 1950s the first time around, we’ve got some great news – all is not lost. You can still get a taste of the decade at The Spark Café. Modeled after soda fountains of the past and decked out in retro décor, it’s the next best thing to travelling back in time.
The Spark Café is in the historic Bentonville Square. It accounts for one-third of the Walmart Museum, along with Walton’s 5&10 and a world-class exhibit gallery.

The traditional fare includes a slew of ice cream-based treats. Enjoy everything from generous scoops of ice cream in a cone or dish to sundaes, splits, shakes, and more.
