Scott Family Amazeum, Children's museum in Bentonville, United States.
The Scott Family Amazeum is a children's museum in Bentonville with interactive areas focused on science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics education. The exhibition spaces are designed for children to conduct hands-on experiments and discover concepts through direct engagement.
The museum originated from community discussions in the early 2000s and became a registered non-profit organization in 2006. It opened to the public in July 2015 following years of planning and fundraising by local supporters.
The name Amazeum combines amazement and museum to reflect a philosophy of discovery through play and hands-on engagement. Visitors observe children actively experimenting and testing their own ideas rather than passively receiving information.
The building is constructed to environmental standards and sits directly connected to cycling trails and close to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Visitors can easily combine a trip here with other nearby cultural attractions.
The museum houses Hershey's Lab, the only exhibition space of its kind outside the Hershey Company headquarters in Pennsylvania. This specialized area allows visitors to explore food and confectionery science in an interactive way.
