A beautiful chapel with unique architecture. A great place to stop by and pray or meditate. I wouldn’t recommend it for small children due to the need to sit and be quite.

This chapel is Heavenly and unearthly. It is so beautiful! I can't even describe how incredible this chapel is. If you love this chapel, I would recommend visiting the Anthony Chapel and the Mildred B. Cooper Chapel. Visiting these chapel is definitely worth the trip.

Calm, beautiful and magical. If you're ever in or near Eureka Springs, definitely make sure you take a few minutes to stop by and check out this marvel in the woods. It shouldn't take more than that, as its just one chapel, but you'll feel like you have walked into an elven structure or something out of a fantasy novel. Be sure to check the times online beforehand though since hours do change daily.

Very beautiful chapel that’s completely worth a stop. Gorgeous views and stunning architecture. It’s so pleasant and delightful. You can bring the whole family, sit inside or browse around. It’s free, which makes it even more of a treat to enjoy!

So amazing! We were first one's for the day so we had this incredible Chapel to ourselves. Time of year was perfect with everything blooming and it is so stunning to see this beautiful piece of architectural history.

The architecture in this place is amazing! It blends in well with the surrounding landscape. The chapel itself is very serene and is a great place for prayer or reflection. Don’t expect much more if you are planning on visiting.

What a lovely little chapel! The construction is beautiful as is the setting. This is a very peaceful spot to simply sit and be. This was our main motivation for driving down from Branson and we didn't regret it. It was a bit crowded when we went and a large charter bus full of people was pulling in as we were leaving. So glad others get to enjoy this spot but I didn't feel like I could fully explore. There's always next time!

Visited the old (built 1980) and the new (built 1986). It started to rain as we were walking toward the Chapel, and I took it to mean God would like it if I took my time to enjoy Him, so we stayed awhile. Quiet, serene, peaceful, close to nature, it faces a woodland with shelf rocks and treetops. I enjoyed several minutes to pray privately, and there are copies of the Bible around to read if you like (try Psalms 6 and 8 - very appropriate!). You'll receive a handout when you first come in, explaining the story of the Chapel. They, of course, accept donations. Services on Sunday are offered at 9am and 11am.

This is breathtaking and beautiful. The detail and magnitude is unreal. It's a really picturesque drive to the chapel and very worth the trip. It's only about an hour from Branson, so an easy stop if your in the area.

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. We had our dogs with us so my husband had me go in alone. I walked in, so beautiful and a calming music played. I sat down and closed my eyes. There was a quiet calm that came over me. I went out to my husband and told him to go in. Just feel the zen, I told him. It didn’t cost anything when we visited but there is a place for donations. We visited in late September 2023

Thorncrown Chapel is outside Eureka Springs in a wooded area off of highway 62. The entrance comes pretty quick and is located in a turn on highway 62, so maybe slow it down and keep your eyes open. It seemed easier to spot the entrance when headed in the north/west direction out of Eureka springs on 62, it being on the right just entering a turn. The entrance road seems to continue in that direction by just veering to the right. The other direction (south east off highway 62, towards Eureka Springs) may be harder to spot, as it's in the middle of the turn (on your left). You also kind of need to make a U turn entering the the entrance road from that direction. The entrance road itself is kind of narrow and hilly as it runs into the woods to the parking area. There's a decent sized parking area that is free to park as you visit. The chapel itself is a very short walk on a path from the parking area. You first pass another smaller building on the right, that I think was an office, as you walk to the chapel. I do not remember seeing any restrooms on site, (but could be wrong) so it's probably a good idea to think about that before you visit, just to be on the safe side. Thorncrown Chapel itself is a really nice Chapel constructed with stone, a lot of wood and glass. It's not overly large in size, but is fairly tall. It has a really nice design. They do not charge an entrance fee to visit. But they do ask that you consider making a donation to help offset the costs to maintain the site. They also ask that you only take pictures of the inside of the chapel, from being seated in one of the pews. I moved to a different pew to give me different angles and views for the pictures that I snapped. They also ask that you bring no food or drink into the chapel. It was very quiet and serene and beautiful. It is a really nice place. Very much worth a visit.

Thorncrown Chapel is easily on of the most incredible wedding venues I have ever shot at, period! The light inside the building is like no other and you don't even need to bring any florals or decorations, it's all there! I personally had a super easy time communicating with the staff there, they were all really nice to work with during the wedding.

Most beautiful architecture. Free to visit and donations appreciated. Couldn't see it from the parking lot but just a short walk down a nice path and it's beauty will pop out as you get closer. Photos don't do it justice. The glass is amazingly crystal clear! I wish my windows at home were like that!

An unusual chapel with a very interesting backstory. Of course the setting is beautiful. Unfortunately, we were visiting before the full glory of the trees was evident as it was March and pre-spring. Definitely worth a stop.

This steel and glass church is beautiful. It's in such a pretty location too. Same architect who designed the Mildred B Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista. Worth a stop to see and experience it. It's breathtaking.

What a unforgettable moment in time. I can't even explain all the feelings of being inside this chapel and marrying the one I love. Absolutely stunning and beautiful.

So beautiful and tranquil spot to sit and "be with God." Seeing His majestic beauty through the windows in every direction as you quietly meditate with hymns playing. I could have spent more time there.

We spent two nights in a safari lodge. The accommodations were wonderful, with a comfortable bed, coffee maker, microwave and small refrigerator (stocked with muffins, oatmeal, fruit cups and juice since there is no restaurant on-site), back patio with table and chairs overlooking a field and trees, access to a hot tub and more. Our lodging also included amazing tours. The staff and interns were helpful and informative, and always willing to answer questions. We were sad when our time ended!

This was the absolute highlight of my Eureka Springs trip. I’ve never visited a place with big cats before because I don’t think a lot of them have the animal’s best interest in mind and were mostly looking to line their pockets, but this place is amazing because they rescue animals from bad situations to give them a better life, and not to mention they are non-profit. I will definitely return in the future. We had a wonderful time learning about all the animals and spent a while walking around after the tram tour and got to see/hear a lion caroling. So cool. I highly recommend supporting this place on their endeavors.

2022.03.11 I had a great time on the tour. The open air tram went around the outside of all the habitats. If the animals were outside of their dens, it was easy to see them. I think it is a great design to see animals like this. Before or after your tour, you can walk down the center of Turpentine Creek and see the same animals from a different angle. You will also get to see a few not visible from the tram tour. I had a great time and will definitely go again.

We visited in the winter and I didn't expect to see too many animals but there were a surprising amount of beautiful big cats playing and lounging outside despite the cold temps. Our group took the tram tour and although it was open air, the staff offered us blankets to keep warm, which was incredibly thoughtful. The tour was fun and informative and there's lots to explore on foot as well. I saw lions, tigers, no bears though. Oh my. They were hibernating and I can't blame them. The staff were all friendly and talked about the cats like they were family. And it was a nice facility where they genuinely care for the animals. It's a True Sanctuary after all. We will 100% be going back in the spring. Also tons of RV spots and nightly rental cabins. And it's Eureka Springs which is FULL of amazing restaurants, hotels, and shops. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great place doing wonderful work. Love seeing all of the animals and hearing their stories. Can do a tram ride as well as a walking hour. They have added on a lot over the years. Even have lodging there now if that is something you want to do. Great for big groups. Would recommend if coming to the area.

Fun and educational with a higher purpose. This place takes abused, neglected wild animals, mostly big cats, and gives them a place to live out the rest of their lives as wild animals. The only contact is for veterinary care. Some of these animals have heartbreaking stories, that finally get to have a happy ending thanks to this wonderful place. Go early in the morning to hear the lions caroling! This is the best way to see these gorgeous creatures up close, while still supporting their happily ever after.

What an amazing place with an incredible mission. Be sure to book a tour in advance, though we were able to call and reschedule ours a few hours later on the same day just fine due to a sudden conflict. On the tour, they will tell you all about the animals that they rescue, their background, personality, and more. Some of the big cats have a very sad story and it’s amazing that this sanctuary rescued them and gave them a second life here. During a tour, some animals will simply be resting away from your view area and you might not see them, but that is normal just like any zoo. Several big cats like to come walk up close as well. They are all behind massive fences, so there is no danger of them getting too close. Our tour was an absolutely incredible experience. They also have an amazing gift shop with a plethora of gifts and souvenirs. It’s another great way to support their cause and we purchased a few items there as well.

It is beautiful here and I love that the money goes to help these fluffy guys, but it is 30 a pop so a group of four of us 120 bucks for a 40 minute tour, which wouldn't be bad if we were able to enjoy the cats more...this tour is depressing and not for kids, they are going to tell you in detail how each cat was neglected previously, they will stop at empty cages, when the cats make noises they will keep talking over the noises, not very many animal facts or talk about how their lives have improved since coming here. Bathrooms were clean, gift shop staff was friendly! I'd like to suggest signs for tigers history for those who want to know the horrors of tiger breeding and neglect cause it is important to the sanctuary, maybe just try to lighten it up a little and remember to take pauses for guests to enjoy the animals in their newer hopefully happier habitats.

I admire the work and education that they do here!! It was well worth the visit. The lion caroling was a highlight!! It feels good for the proceeds of my visit and gift shop purchases to go toward the care of these animals, a mission every staff member takes to heart.

This is a great refuge and they don't have contact with the animals so they prioritize both the animals and the people safety. Great one to support! They've taken a lot of other animals from so called sanctuaries that weren't treating their animals right. There are some sad stories but these cats and bears are prioritized now and they are not made to perform on tours which is good. You are able to do a self guided tour so you can take the guided tour and if you don't see the animals on that tour you can catch them on the walkabout. It was very enjoyable and I felt good about supporting this Refuge!

We had a great visit at Turpentine Creek. The walking tour was pretty good, but the guided tram tour really impressed us. We loved seeing the animals, but we also enjoyed hearing their stories. They are doing good work at this refuge.

We went during the hottest part of the day and a lot of the animals were inside their shelters. We still had fun and their were still plenty of others to see. The tour guide was very knowledge, especially for an intern so I enjoyed the tour a lot.

Amazing place for a great cause. I have gone here two times now and both experiences were amazing. The second time I stayed in a bungalow on the property to be close to the cats. Super clean and cute on the inside. The tour of the place is great, you take a tram around the place and the tour guide tells you about each animal! Warning, the stories are sad but they are all safe and well taken care of now! This is a non profit organization that you can tell truly cares about these beautiful cats. They also have bears! They also have wheelchair accessible ramps and mounts for the tram ride!

I can not say enough good things about this amazing establishment!!! All the animals are very well taken care of and have various kinds of stimulation. The tram ride provides some really awesome views of the cats and lots of really good knowledge! The staff were bar none and offered to answer all the questions we had! This non profit is a 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

Our family absolutely love coming here. The interpreters are always super friendly and knowledgeable. Our room is always clean. We always spend the night and take two (free) tours while we stay. We like the 4pm tour because it's the last tour of the day and the cats seem more active. We've also noticed more activity at the 9am tour as well. The tours generally last about 45 minutes. There is also plenty to see on foot after the tour is over, as well as a gift shop. We stay in the Tree House and it is very unique. The kids love climbing a ladder to their loft beds. The loft is tall enough for an adult to stand up in (at least in the center). The beds are just mattresses on the floor but the kids say they're quite comfortable. The queen bed downstairs isn't my favorite, I have to admit. When two people are in the bed it seems to make you gravitate towards the middle. However, opening the windows and being able to hear lions caroling nearby makes up for it. The room comes quite well stocked. They provide breakfast items, a microwave, plenty of coffee, tea, an extra fan, TV with a few channels, plates and cups, plastic cutlery, paper towels, and even a wine bottle opener. I must also mention the bathroom. There isn't much of one to speak of. It does come well stocked with a hairdryer, plenty of soap and shampoo, and makeup removers... but it is very, very small. Very. Small. The private deck in back is very nice. There is a table with four chairs and it's a perfect place to spend the evening if the weather is nice. All in all, if you are a cat person, I thoroughly recommend Turpentine Creek. It's an experience you'll remember.

I have always been fascinated with tigers. Hurt to hear the sad stories behind the beginning of these animals lives. Yet to know this place took them in and have had a few since birth touching. Keep up the great work

This was a great visit. I love seeing all of the beautiful cats. Most of the cats were rescued from neglectful situations and I'm glad that this sanctuary is taking care of the cats now. They also have great safety precautions for the staff which is very important. Our tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable. I love getting to walk around and spend as much time as we wanted seeing the animals. The gift shop had a ton of cool stuff to buy! I got a beautiful cream colored sweatshirt. I'd say the African Serval was my favorite. She is so beautiful and hissy 😂 We will definitely return the next time we're in Arkansas! I would also recommend visiting the Thorncrown Chapel and Christ of the Ozarks while you're in the mountains, they're not too far away.

Amazing place, love what they're doing and how. I'm very glad I got to see all the cats! I'll have more photos once I get them from my girl. Edit: Added photos

This place was amazing. We took our two young grandchildren 1 and 2. They lived seeing the cats and bears. We could tell how passionate all the care takes were about the lives of every animal there! I would highly recommend all to visit and support this place!!! While on the tour the guide was very knowledgeable and made sure that the kids could see and we could get nice pictures of these beautiful animals! The animals pasts are very sad but with the best outcome possible thanks to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge!!!

This place is awesome! Great for people of any age. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job! We even went early on a cold morning and they still had a positive demeanor. Lots of awesome cats to see and a great gift shop too! Definitely check these guys out!

Great wildlife preserve with many beautiful animals on a huge property. The caretakers truly have the best interests of the animals in mind and the facility is GFAS (Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries) certified, meaning there is no breeding, selling, petting, or any other interaction of people and animals on the property. The glamping tents are very comfortable and are so close to the animals you can hear them caroling with each other during the night. Definitely recommend and I will visit again if I'm ever back in Eureka Springs.

Definitely one of the best "Free" things to do during your visit to Eureka Springs! The trolley will take you within walking distance and pick you back up, or it's located right next to the parking area. There's clean restrooms available near as well as a small gift shop. It was very cool to see in person, and the story behind why they had to cut off some of the bottom was quite humorous! It was cool to see all the birds resting on the top of him! The music playing and the cool trail to the water just added to the visit!

Christ of the Ozark is definitely worth coming to. This statue is enormous and makes you feel really small! The view is great from this spot as well.

The 67-foot tall statue is well worth a stop if you are in Eureka Springs. Admission and parking are free, and it is an easy, short walk from the parking lot to the statue Amazing to see up close and personal this monument of Christ. What a blessing to be able to have this statue for others to enjoy. The literature on the building of the statue is posted near by. There is an area for praying, meditation or contemplation near by. Along with the Passion Play which is a MUST see, exceptional experience I highly recommend going here! Also available at this same site is the Holy Land Tour which takes you on a trip back in time to the days of Jesus. There are gift shops, snack stations, museums, etc, that make this a whole day or evening event.

This is a unique visit in Eureka Springs. We just went to the statue but there were events going on on the property. Definitely a fun stop if you’re in the area. Stopped at the gift shop by the statue, very small but still a good stop.

What a beautiful & nice kept park. Even though it was off season for the play, we were still able to drive right up to statue. Loved there was tables set up like a lil chapel just below. So Peaceful & Serene. I would love to see the play sometime.

We weren't able to attend the play, but we could drive right up to the walkway to see the statue. We were there just after sunrise, so we had to squint to see the front of it. Majestic in size, standing in the presence of the statue offered a quiet moment of peace.

This place is quite beautiful and peaceful . I would love to just spend some time there just enjoying the absolute peace I felt. The statue is quite captivating and magnificent. But the place where the cross was was where I spent quite a few minutes and said some prayers and wrote one down.

Quite a sight to see. Beautiful overlook. Very peaceful. It's free to see. Though they did expect a donation at the gatehouse which you pass to get to the back parking lot where the statue is located. There are bathrooms here which is nice.

This is truly a sight to see especially since it's free. Visit early because guest roll in for other events on the property, and it gets crowded quickly. Beautiful and serene.

I enjoyed all the things. I've been here as a kiddo but it's different as an adult. Even seen few other things there as well. And the church next to it, very peaceful, we were there on a Sunday and even stepped in for a bit of service.

Standing sixty-seven feet high, the statue overlooks the picturesque Victorian village of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It’s a minute walk from the closest parking. There is no admission/parking fee but donation is expected. There’s plenty of space and seating around to enjoy the nature and adore the Christ. There’s peace and tranquility around to help you fully immerse in the beauty of mountains. There’s plenty of other attractions on the same site such as an original slab from Berlin Wall, history museum, Israel market depiction, virtual tour of holy land, the great passion play and gift shop.

If you have a drone, then don't miss to get to this place.its full of scenic beauty on top of the hillock. Opens very early in morning and has dedicated parking space for RV, cars and buses. Suggested to visit before sunset and is close to downtown.

Absolutely worth the visit. My second time going (last time was 2018, this time 2023). Went end of September on a Saturday & Sunday (Sunday was less crowded as the Saturday was also The Great Passion Play). Location: located at the same area as The Great Passion Play, Holy Land, Bible Museum, etc but at the end of the road. You can park & walk or drive up to the statue. There is parking near the entrance gate AND at the end of the road near the statue. Price: the statue is free to visit. Favorite times to go: early morning or sunset. Just something so peaceful about the beautiful skies at sunset. Other things nearby: Holy Land Tours (2 hours; requires paid admission); The Great Passion Play (requires admission), Buffet (requires ticket), Bible museum (free), art museum (free), history museum (free), gift shops, hiking trails. Check their website for open times as some things are only open when The Great Passion Play is occurring.

Of course we didn't get to see the play because we were here during December but we really enjoyed everything else.

Completely free to the public, the statue is large and there is a large area that allows for great pictures. The staff is friendly and informative.

The statue is huge and his arms stretching from east to west showing how much he loves us is very surreal

Such a neat place to visit! We hiked some trails through the hills, very beautiful area, mostly easy to hike.

Regardless of anyone's opinion about global warming, the water is still cold in March!

I love this place it's my serenity! I go here to relieve stress and rejuvenate! It's gorgeous, fantastic views romantic! If you're in Arkansas, you have got to go here!

This is my favorite lake of all time. The water is a bluish green. It has great coves to swim in. It is amazing to kayak on. And there are various islands that you can kayak up to that are surrounded by clear water. It provides for excellent scenery. There are various swimming areas located on the lake but I have always preferred finding a nice cove to swim in. This is truly a beautiful lake.

This is my favourite place, it accommodates huge crowd. We had a picnic with around 40people and it was fun. Did some barbecue, enjoyed the weather. Played some games. Some of my friends parents were visiting from India, they loved the place too. The sunsetting was amazing. Next time planning to visit the camp sites.

It’s so easy to access, you can basically drive into the water (not saying you should) kids had a blast and sunset was beautiful!

My favorite lake from now on.got an amazing spot there to stay for 4 days and still blown away by how clear that lake is! Great for boating,swimming, and fishing. Will be back soon

I've heard about Beaver lake for a very long time but has just recently had a chance to visit. It's so beautiful & very natural. The lake is huge so it doesn't feel crowded even on the 4th of July.

Beautiful, clean, and uncrowded lake. Steep, rocky slopes from rental houses can be a serious challenge to navigate to the lake. Boat rental and other services from Lost Bridge Marina spotty. Some are not too friendly but there aren't many other choices.

Beautiful lake beautiful drive through mountains the people were super friendly

Stayed at a house on the lake. A pretty easy drive from Bentonville and Roger's.

It is so beautiful here on the prairie side to camp 🏕 sites in August we are definitely coming back to the 🐎 horseshoe bend part so excited about it❣️🙃🥰😍💕

This place is so beautiful! We happened to have gone in January I would love to go when the weather is warming and all of nature has bloomed again! The lady was gorgeous and the roads were pretty clean. Walked to the dam and went to some of the little spots right off the lake, very clean. There were actually a lot of spaces to park your rvs as well if you’re interested in camping. Such a great place to go on a warm day and relax!

Beautiful architecture, grounds, interior and more! The Priest was phenomenal! That is saying a lot considering I attended a funeral mass. I recommend not only seeing the place, but attending a mass. I was most inspired.

Loved this gorgeous church! Beautiful hillside location and unique gift shop. Shared, lower level parking lot next to the historic Crescent Hotel - visit both.

Beautiful church! The grounds are very well kept. Entrance is in the bell tower.

Don't just visit St Elizabeth, go to Mass and/or ask Father to hear your confession. Make your visit to Eureka Springs unforgettable.

It was truly a joy to visit, and such a beautiful Church!

I went night exploring around the property. Watch your step. 🙈 But it was beautiful at night.

Quite possibly the most authentic of the small baroque era cathedrals of the toy catholic terrier breeds in original condition, on this side of the Mississippi. I’ve been all over this country in search of the authentic flagellation experience of plague era Medieval superstition and I’ve yet to come across a more astounding and historically accurate effigy to the stoicism and stubbornness of religious zealotry in the heart of “less than catholic tolerating” America. The Saint Elizabeth parish Catholic Church cathedral is a quaint commercialized tourist hub that you will most certainly extract all five stars of (or six stars of David) from on your barn raising tour de force of Christian monuments to the effigy efficiency of religious monument builders of centuries past.

What a beautiful church! More on the outside, with the old stone architecture, but gorgeous none the less. The whole property is so peaceful, and its such a blissful walk around. The inside leaves a bit to be desired, as its rather small and less ornate, but still is pretty. Only other thing I wish was open: the gift shop. Highly recommend visiting!

While the incline to go up the hill may seem scary , don’t walk it , take a car instead . It’s about a good 30 minute walk up . The church it self has beautiful stain glass windows and a calm and serene environment . You can light a candle for. Loved one . There is gift shop with reasonably priced items , bathroom is outside next to the gift shop.

This cathedral was beautiful. It had multiple little gardens, a gift shop, and candles you could light inside. However I think the candles need to be watched more carefully as my husband and I had a hard time finding a single candle that hadn't completely melted away to lite. You can go inside and view a small portion but well worth the look. The bell tower sounded while there!!

St.Elizabeth Church was my greatest discovery during my most recent trip to Eureka Springs. I stayed at one of the Chateau Inn cottages, and while I was photographing the inn, I noticed the church tucked behind some trees in the valley below. It looked like Italy. This is NOT one of those commercial churches that every tourist must go photograph. This is a real church and the spirit within and the beauty outside the church are serene but magnificent.

This was a great evening for the family. Love the experience and would recommend it to any family visiting Eureka Springs. I know how much work goes into preparing for a show like this and it was awesome!

Amazing show!! You will be amused shocked and in awe, this was our second time visiting the Intrigue and we had just as much fun as the first time. Great venue small and personable, everyone is a part of the show. Overall a great experience!

The whole cast and crew of Intrique Theater made our vacation truly magical. The sincerity and passion by the performers and crew, all 3 of them, made this show the favorite part of my vacation. Each of the three really went out of their way to make the evening exciting and fun for the small group we had there the evening we attended. As a retired theatre teacher, I have l know that it takes heart, commitment, and a great deal of faith by the performer to create the illusions wanted on stage. These three wonderful people created a magical world the evening we were there. We will be back to see what else they have in store for their audiences in the future! Thank you three for an incredible evening of fun and illusion!

It was one of the best "magic" shows I have seen! The group I brought absolutely loved it! We really enjoyed all the audience participation, too. Actually, 2 of our group was selected for things that were done. We will definitely be recommending this show to all of our friends and family! I personally cannot wait to see it again! Thanks for a great night of Intrigue! ; )

We booked tickets for the Intrigue Theater with no expectations of what we were in store for. The show was incredible. It had high quality acts mixed with impeccable comedic timing. It brought me back to my love for magic I had as a kid. Being in our early 20s, it can be hard to find quality entertainment that truly caters to all ages. Sean-Paul and Juliane gained two new fans. Thank you Intrigue Theatre for an unforgettable experience!

My daughter & I absolutely loved the show tonight! It was our first time & we live in Eureka. I will be referring my customers to Intrigue Theater from now on. If you’re reading the reviews & wondering if you should go-Go! Totally worth it! The theater is intimate & gorgeous. We were entertained from beginning to end. I’m ashamed I hadn’t been sooner. We’re lucky to have this magical venue in Eureka Springs!

A fabulous experience. The theatre is such a unique and intimate setting, it felt like be up close and personal at a huge show in Vegas, but with old school illusions. The aesthetic was eerie without being over the top, and the comic relief was wonderful. We can't wait to go to another show in the near future! Also wanted to highly recommend the tarot readings, I am drawing a blank on her name now but the woman who did the readings was wonderful and offered a lot of insight and guidance. 10/10 A++ will return!

This was so much fun! We paid the extra to sit on the front row and be included in the show, but Sean-Paul was excellent about interacting with the ENTIRE audience! I love to try to figure out how the acts are done, and I might have seen a few spoilers.... but it didn't matter! Their show was fun, amazing, and I was often so baffled I forgot to clap!! We would definitely go again!

Absolutely loved the show. Great mix of magic, illusion and comedy all rolled into one show. Performers do a fantastic job of engaging the audience and keeping you on the edge of your seat. If you are in Eureka Springs and miss this show you are missing out on the best show in the Branson/Eureka Springs area. Definitely a must see!!

We really enjoyed this small, intimate show. Sean-Paul and Juliana included the entire audience in their show which makes it all the more fun! I personally love how they intermix Illusion and mentalism along with great comedy! I highly recommend attending this show if you are visiting Eureka Springs!

This was so fun! I was visiting Eureka Springs with my teenage daughter, and let’s be honest, it can be hard to entertain a teen. We were both laughing and looking at each other in disbelief! Not only are they funny, but truly talented in what they do. We would definitely see this show again! Great way to end our trip

What a great time! Love the intimacy of the venue. Took the whole family and made great memories! Loved how interactive the show was with the crowd. Easy parking was a huge plus. So many laughs and lots of “how did they do that?s”

Beautiful place . Enjoyed our visit immensely. Lots of cool old buildings . History abounds . Better be in decent physical shape. Sadly, the big negative . Very hilly . Don't drink and walk . Sidewalks are a MESS . I should know . I live in a tourist town that " used" to have BAD sidewalks . Now our annual tourism of 2 million per year enjoy walking down our beautiful historical town .

I honestly wish we could move here. There’s SO much to do but just relaxing in the nature is equally enjoyable. The fine dining choices are tough to choose from! All the tours and shops can keep you busy for days. Walking around all day was definitely a workout with all the hills but totally worth it. I can’t wait to go back.

Super fun place to take a trip with your family. Perfect for a long weekend. Parking is a bit of a pain around this area. BRING CASH. Lots of parking areas and shops only take cash. Also, most shops do not have restrooms. The people in this area are super friendly and diverse. LGBTQ friendly!!! Cool shops and eating places that are different than your every day. Been here multiple times.

My wife and I love this little town. We try and come at least two to three times a year. If you have not been here I recommend putting it on your to do list. This town is a must see!

One of the best places to visit in NWA. The historic downtown is very scenic and unlike any other place you would see in this region. Great art studios and stores and a vibrant crowd specially during the weekends. I only wish I had discovered how awesome this place was before. You can visit with your entire family and stay in the nearby cottages. Remember to support the small businesses in these tough times.

We spent about three hours walking around the shops downtown. I personally appreciate the older buildings and architecture. Shop owners were friendly and prices reasonable. Only downside was finding a decent place for lunch. Looking forward to the next trip and spending a little more time.

The downtown area is pretty and buildings are nice. I especially loved the coffee shop down the rainbow stairs. There are local caves you can go into, which are nice, but they all look alike. They have a lot of art which is pretty. However, the entire city is extremely over priced. For no reason. The food is crazy expensive for unhealthy garbage, usually soul food is cheap and delicious. The stores want to charge you triple just because you are there. And 9/10 I can get the exact same item on Amazon for a third the price. The rabbit store charge me 70$ for three shirts. The book store won’t let you use your phone because the books are double what they have online. The thrift shop wanted to charge 1500$ for a “vintage” coat, even they sell them at almost every goodwill. For way cheaper. It’s a cool place to visit but not worth coming back. I wasn’t in awe, one time I was there. I was thinking there was cold springs we could see and get in. But it’s just waterfalls, with gating around them. There is very little parking. The locals bar goers are nicer than the store owners. Nothing is open late, if you are hungry. Everything closes super early.

Downtown eureka springs is an amazing place to shop and eat!! They have something for everyone with tons of local shops and eateries. From ice cream to magic shops to cocktail bars you should be able to find something to keep you entertained. We enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back!!

One of my favorite place in Arkansas.. very cute and lively downtown… kids friendly pet friendly and also there are clean public toilets.. You can just walk around shop some ethnic and unique stuff from the stores, get yourself a massage and tarot reading if you like.. eat ice cream enjoy the live music on weekends. Theater shows if you enjoy. There are also bus tours available. Oh yes the fall season is beautiful there. ☺️

Great place to go rest and relax. The local community is very welcoming. Enjoyed walking down town already planning another trip back. I didn't take many pictures this time. I just enjoyed the company I had and the environment

A very cute town that is uniquely charming. I will say it is all up hill so if you are visiting from a flat area that will be an adjustment. My only complaint is that the town is not very wheelchair or handicap accessible. Other than that the locals were all kind in my experience and there were many wonderful arts and activities to enjoy

Love this historic place! This hidden gem city is so beautiful! It has various of cool stores and of course coffeehouses! It has some good restaurants! I highly recommended when you visit Eureka Springs! Lucky my partner lives one hour away from Eureka Springs and we often go to Eureka Springs on almost every other week.

It's definitely a cool weird town. It's different being built into the hill sides and lots of older structures and whatnot. Definitely worth a stop for the day or night. Only thing I'll say is that everything seems to shut down early. When I say early I mean by 6pm mostly everything is done and nothing opens early for early breakfast. Just beware is all!

The atmosphere in Eureka Springs, is unique to Anywhere else in the entire state! The art scene is popping, + the eats are A-mazing!! So many choices; where to stay (the Tree Houses, Hobbit Cottages, “Most Haunted Hotel in America”, the historic Palace Bathhouse, the also haunted Basin Park Hotel, + Sooo many more!), where to eat (too many awesome choices to mention here, but Mud Street Café is a MUST!), where to go (downtown shopping, Caves to explore, springs to see, architecture to admire everywhere), + what to do (3 diff Haunted Tours, Escape Rooom, unique shops, shows, etc)! They even have Augmented Reality self-guided tours, that are pretty informative + unique! And if you stay at the 1886 Cresent Hotel, there’s tons of games + stuff to do there, like the Axe 🪓/Hatchet Throwing + BB Gun range areas! I Love a long weekend away in Eureka, it always Resets, Renews + Rejuvinates me like nowhere else! Never get bored there!

Charming and friendly people. It can get crowded in the small shops and small sidewalks. Go earlier in the day if you can. Parking is limited on the street. There are a few paid parking lots....a free lot is about half a mile or so.

This town is phenomenal. So many cool shops and the trolly is highly recommended as parking and space are very challenging. If you have a motorhome or big truck you might want to find a campground or R.V park, and the trolly comes right to the camp to get you. There are SO MANY cool places in this town.

There's plenty to look at downtown. It's filled with shops and food. Shops: My favorite was east by west with the working bunnies. Ron was so awesome and his love for his bunnies shines. There are also boutiques, candy, coffee, soap, nuts, and more! Parking: must pay to park using an app during certain times (I think til 5pm). Only $5 for 3 hours which was perfect for us. Time: for us to casually walk back and forth and up & down stairs to different sections took 3 hours. Tips: be aware that the downtown area is on hills. It's not just one road but multiple that run parallel.

It was wonderful the paseo to the cross and the huge statue of Jesus and the church. Family time to walk and meditate about eternity…and to open a conversation with God the Father and Creatir!. But downtown was not pleasant AT ALL. I felt a heavy dark spirits … so much witchcraft, new age stuff not enjoyable at all. Though a good coffee shop.

Fun to look in all shops. Cat House Bar a must if you like drinks. Public restrooms along the way in several places. Live music in little stage area. Several street performers playing instruments also. Beautiful place.

Spent a wonderful day here. Unique shopping, clean streets and great places to eat and drink. Should have booked a room in town and stayed the night. Maybe next time.

We visit Eureka springs often, there's always some kind of event going on from blues festivals, to pride fest, or scenic ghost tours, and Christmas plays! Local handcrafted goods and restaurants are everywhere!

I am convinced Eureka Springs is heaven on earth. I WILL live here one day and own one of their eclectic shops. The atmosphere is so beautiful and nonchalant. Great dining and shopping. Everyone is accepted here.

ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH EUREKA SPRINGS!!Our trip there was AWESOME! Everywhere we went people were so informative, Kind, Friendly, Helpful!! LOVE LOVE Downtown! We walked all over&thoroughly enjoyed it!! Will DEFINITELY go back again!!

We love walking around Eureka Springs. Most relax small town vibes and super friendly people everywhere you go. .

You can come many times and still find something new every time. Try Bubba's BBQ if you want some of the best around. There are so many unique shops and restaurants to check out. Next trip, I will do things I didn't do this time around.

This a unique location showcasing hours upon hours of rock works created by Elise Fiorvanti Quigley in the early 1940’s. A stunning garden and indoor plants. You can walk through the entire house appreciating the concept of bringing the outdoors in as well as appreciating the many collections throughout the home. The gardens are beautiful and compliment the rock creations. This is a quirky stop mist enjoyed by adults- not alot to entertain busy kids- in my opinion. Children under 14 are free- $9 for others,

One of the the best places I have visited. It’s beautiful and will give you plenty of creative ideas to enhance your home and make it more greener. It’s just an amazing feeling to have nature inside the house. You will truly appreciate the history and hard work that has went in to building and maintaining this masterpiece. The tickets are $9 per person cash and if you pay by credit card, square would charge you 4% service fee. The grand kids still stay at this place and will give you the history of the place when you arrive. After a short history they leave you alone for as long as you want to be mesmerised by the beauty of the nature. If you have any questions, family members are readily available to answer those for you. BTW on arrival you ring a bell, and one of the family members will escort you inside the castle once you pay the entry fee. It’s not wheel chair accessible but the terrain and stairs are very manageable if you can walk slow with some help. Definitely a site not to be missed.

I was pleasantly surprised by Quigley's Castle! The entrance fee is very reasonable and you could spend hours looking around the house and outside property scanning all the unique and quirky items! Mrs. Quigley sure had quite the imagination and I love that her family has preserved the house so it feels like you are stepping back in time with all the antiques! The plants growing inside up to the second floor blew me away! I would love to have that setup in my home!

So cute! I love this place! It’s definitely a must do when you’re down in eureka springs! The lady who does the tours is very nice and knowledgeable. The land is so cute and the house is charming.

I had been wanting to stop in for years. My husband and I finally did and were thrilled that we did. The history and story were just as interesting and mind blowing as the property. So beautiful and amazing. It is o e of those places that you can return multiple times and see something you missed the time before. So we Will be going back. A must see!!

Unique off the beaten place to stop. $9.00 per person. This is a unique home that has a wonderful story of love and dedication. Maintained by family members. Lots of beautiful plants and flowers. Does not take a lot of time to visit the grounds.

This is a beautiful and unique home with a great story to it. My wife loves rocks, butterflies, and gardens so for her this ticked off several boxes. She even half jokingly asked the current owners how much to buy the house. The story of the house is fascinating and the pure beauty of it is amazing. Thinking about how much time the grandmother spent doing all this is just mind boggling. It's hard to put into words the experience. The garden out front is beautiful and you'll find large quartz, flourite, and etc throughout. All the walls are fascinating to look at. Entering the home is just astounding with about a 2 foot wide section along the inner outside wall where the ground is accessible and plants are planted growing up to the second floor. The butterfly wall is beautiful to see as well as the shells with the small fish pond all inside the home. It is definitely a unique experience that I enjoyed and my wife was in love with. Talk about knocking it out of the park with this find. I got some serious brownie points. :)

This was one of the best places we visited in Eureka Springs- the most amazing experience we had. Totally worth the drive to get there, highly recommend! It was only $9 per person and children under 14 free with adult.

This was a very interesting place to visit. Although I understand that maintenance and upkeep funds need to come from somewhere I felt $9 a person was a bit steep for what you're seeing. The house is very interesting and the gardens are gorgeous. The story of the house is charming and I felt like you could really get a sense of Elise's personality. We enjoyed this side trip and it's worth a visit at least once.

First, the pluses: the food was good overall. The soup came first and good flavor. Then the salad was spring greens and cucumbers and the obligatory anemic tomato slices. I had the chicken breast and my husband had the prime rib. He liked it and so did I. Baked Alaska for dessert. Wine, tea, or water. Coffee was cold though. Second, the negatives: the train is old but the mold smell was pretty strong. The scenery was meh: we went a distance then went back. We went over a small bridge but that was it. I guess the price was just for the food. I think I’d save my money and find something different to do.

A very cute concept. It can be a little boring though. You really only travel about a mile down track, stop, and return after dinner and dessert are served. So if you think the sway if the train and constantly changing scenery will help the conversation flow, you may have to rely on good old face to face nothing else to do conversation 😁 and the cellular reception out there was spotty for me. A great experience for everyone to try once. It was romantic to watch the couples. Inside the train is just beautiful and what you might expect a train from 80 years ago to look. A fun experience. The property is private however with many old trains on display it makes for some very beautiful photos. The owner was very nice and friendly and took time to have a conversation with everyone on board. I personally did not care for most of the food served, although some was good. However, I believe I was in the minority as I looked around and most others had cleared their plates. The servers and staff were very polite and friendly and also took some time listening to and conversing with their tables. My son was 12 and enjoyed it. He was a little bored at times but enjoyed the amount of food served.

Well, ultimately, for the price, riding in a train car 20 mins down a track and sitting in 1 spot for an hour to eat is not the ultimate experience. The fish I received on the train was cold and chewy. Properly cooked fish is not chewy. However, the experience is different from the everyday norm. The staff is pleasant and welcoming! Unfortunately for me, the dessert was the best part! Cheers!

My wife and I returned to Eureka Springs 37 years after our wedding there. My parents had done the dining car experience about 20 years ago. We had reservations for a Saturday evening about 3 weeks ago. There were no issues with boarding. There were 2 large dining cars on our trip. Each couple had their own table. The dining cars were authentic and beautiful. It was a hot day, but the ac was wonderful. The staff seemed to be a bit thin; but I attribute that the the large number of guests that date. The food was surprisingly good. The experience was great. My only complaint was that we were parked at the end of the line for a long time, resulting in us being late on the return. As best I could tell, it was likely due the the large number of people that the staff had to serve. I believe we had four courses. All in all we enjoyed the experience and were able to connect with other people who were there for various reasons.

Was enjoyable to ride, we took the 2:30pm Excursion. The kids (between 2-7 y/o) really enjoyed it. The conductor was very nice and told us history about Eureka Springs and of this railroad--was very informative. The rail equipment is old and worn, but it adds to the nostalgia. They do have a ramp to assist those with disabilities, to get into the coaches. At the midpoint of the trip, they will allow everyone off the train and allow people to safely smash pennies, nickels, etc. under the weight of the locomotive and car(s)---I suggest having some pennies as a nice (and cheap) momento. Staff is very friendly and willing to answer questions. Gift Shop is limited and was out of stock of a lot of their wears---but understandable since everything is still reopening from shutdown for COVID-19.

We took the lunch tour. Although it's a short ride, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Lunch was good, dessert was good. Clean inside. Lunch tour doesn't have a guide, per say, but we saw the engineer/conductor at the Crescent hotel and he gave us a bit of history with the 100 year old train. Would recommend.

Definitely a unique dining experience. The train is very nicely kept. The food had good portions. I had the chicken salad and fruit. It was a bit dry and the fruit was fresh. My husband had the sandwich and was served on a beautiful croissant. The staff were helpful and energetic. The train goes up the track for a few miles. Stops then returns. So you won't see very much. I'm glad it is there being maintained for more to enjoy and experience but I wouldn't go back

We went on the dinner and train ride. It was really fun for the family and I. The meal was great as well as the the train ride, only caveat is the train stops during the meal, which was probably a good thing, rather not wear my food ;) We had a wonderful view while dining, loved the old fashioned atmosphere. Perfect time for a family outing or date night with your significant other.

My son absolutely loved this... As well as the adults. This was an amazing experience for our family to enjoy together.The guided tour and in depth history as well as humor and... It's definitely something you need to experience yourself 💯💯💯💯

Such a fun experience. The dining car was so relaxing and intimate. The views were great. The food was really good and huge portions. I would definitely recommend this as part of your Eureka Springs experience.

Planned this months in advance and it did not disappoint. Other than the prime rib could have been a tad bigger portion for the price of the meal, it was delicious. The ambiance is very calm and somewhat romantic. The crew is awesome, attentive, funny and joyful. Would definitely do it again.

Everything about this was delightful! We celebrated our 10th anniversary with a dinner train ride and the whole experience was fantastic. Jessica and Heidi were great and really made it a fun evening. The food was yummy, the scenery was beautiful, and the ambiance was fantastic. We highly recommend this!

Had a great time here! Thank you David for making this a very pleasant experience.

It was a fun trip into a smaller cavern. With a group of friends it can be a fun adventure! The geological formations were beautiful, but the tour left me feeling lacking. It cost roughly $26 for two people to get into the cave and you were required to wear a headset that had an audio recording of the guide. It felt impersonal. The tour was around 30 minutes, and the gift shop was interesting. If you have some time in the area I would definitely say it is worth the trip!

We enjoyed our visit. At first we thought maybe it wasn’t open, it was November and a weekday, but we walked down and were welcomed immediately upon walking in. It was nice to have the headphones to hear the history of the cave as well as about caves in general. Cute little gift shop and I saw other spaces/areas that are probably open in the summertime. It is a walk in and back out on the same pathway so with lots of visitors it could be a little crowded.

Cave was pretty cool. Cute gift shop with a sweet cat that was sleeping in a rock bin. They give you a head set and you listen to it as you walk yourself through the cave. You get to the end and have to turn around back the way you came in. Some of the lights didn't work so some areas were dark. I adjusted my headphones and ended up resetting the voice recording somehow. Not very big, but a nice experience. They also offer ax throwing, but we didn't do it.

Really great. The owners are trying to keep this cave safe and pristine. Crazy to think it was used as a war fall out shelter until they realized that caves breathe so anything toxic outside would overwhelm inside. And the owner gave us a great lunch recommendation!!

We had a great time at the onyx cave and spent about an hour and 45 minutes here. We did the walking audio tour and purchase the treasure chest package and found lots of cool gems! Or tour guide was really passionate about the cave and gave us a lot of cool information. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Very affordable self-guided tour using headphones. The cave was very unique and pretty. It is a pretty steep walk down to where you pay and start the tour. The gift shop was very nice. It was NOT accessible for the handicapped because of the steep declines and steps.

Follow the signs and the entrance is on Valhalla drive, the google maps directions aren’t accurate. We enjoyed the audio guided tour, it’s 20-30 minutes with headphones, and being able to take pictures inside the cave. Due to the nature of it, not very accessible. Not the best place if you can’t go up and down stairs or ramps well or if you have trouble bending down or walking on uneven surfaces. There’s a very steep ramp and stairway to get down to the entrance and the cave has a lot of uneven, slick walking surfaces.

I really enjoyed this cave! There is a self-guided audio tour that lasts about 20 minutes (they space groups out every four or five minutes so you aren't crammed together). The audio tour was really well done and interesting, and when it's finished you're free to walk around as long as you'd like. The cave isn't nearly as big as some of the others I've been to, but having the opportunity to take our time instead of being huddled together in a large group was great. They also have a large gift shop with lots of items. Be prepared that the ramps to and from the cave are *steep*!

A must see! The cave was very beautiful and easy enough for adults and children alike. To get to the entrance, you had to walk down alot of stairs that were fairly steep... just so you are aware and prepared for it. The tour is self guided and they give you headsets that explain the history and all the formations of the cave. Also, their gift shop had some great stuff. So make sure to take a look around when you visit.

Not worth it for the money, they do have axe throwing available as long it’s not raining. The cave itself was cool but definitely not long enough for the price you pay to enter. The tour is self guided with headphones that are wayyyy too loud, and if you try to turn the volume down the tour resets and you end up just taking the headphones off instead of backtracking and starting over just so you can understand what you’re looking at. If you’re looking for a good cave with an in person guide in that area, I recommend Cosmic Cavern in Berryville.

Onyx Cave is the oldest show cave in Arkansas and a great place to visit for those interested in geology or just looking for a fun family activity. The guided tour with headphones is informative and interesting, and visitors can expect to see beautiful formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and flowstone. The park has a gift shop, fossil/gem find, axe throwing and of course the cave tour! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

This was our second cave to explore in Arkansas and while it was neat, it was overpriced for what it was. This was one of the self guided caves we’ve done and unfortunately it shows. It’s evident that people have disrupted some of the structures in years past however if you like caves, it’s still neat to check out. You can choose to wear headphones and get an audio tour throughout the duration. It is a bit of a crazy drive but again, if you like to explore, it’s worth a trip. Make sure to say hi to the cats!

If you go, you have to do the extended version otherwise it is definitely not worth it IMO. The kids walked through it faster than the audio on the headphones but they enjoyed it still. (6 kids ages 9-15) We were in and out in an hour. It’s one of the smaller ones we’ve visited but still neat!

The cave is so amazing. Some of the formations in the cave are mesmerizing. The staff is AMAZING. They were so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Will absolutely go again next time we are in Eureka

We visited the onyx cave with our kids. The manager named JEFF was super polite and provided the most personalized guided tour ever. He was super sweet to my 5 year old and showed her a bunch of cool details in the cave. Another one of the male guides gifted my daughter an awesome 20 cent coin from 1953. 10/10 recommend.

I love visiting caves and this one is a nice little gem in NW Arkansas! It's a short, self guided tour, but there's so many formations to look at! We looooooooved the cats and super appreciative of the tour guide that let me and my fiancé take a peek at the sink hole behind the elephant formation. Great price for what you see!

Love this place. The walk down to it is very steep so you need to be fit and wear good shoes. The cave is about 60 degrees which is great during the summer. The people are friendly and nice. They have a friendly cat that doesn't mind petting. You use Bluetooth headphones to play they tour info and walk through yourself. Would highly recommend.

Incredible natural spring pool thar changed the trajectory of eureka springs for centuries. Truly a natural marvel! Would give it 5 stars but they have room to improve the grounds and operations.

A neat place with beautiful views, but for something that takes less than 30 minutes to walk through, it’s way overpriced. At the time of our visit, it was almost $15 per adult. You literally walk down a ton of stairs, read a couple posters, see the beautiful spring, then walk back up a very long ramp. That’s it, that’s all there is to it. I get they need to cover their cost to maintain the little bit of gardens around, but they aren’t doing that great of a job maintain the spring, because we saw multiple trees that fallen over and haven’t been cleaned up, there’s tons of algae, and no fish anywhere beyond the point of the fallen trees. This should be a donation only exhibit. I guarantee they’d get more money that way to maintain it than by charging unfamiliar visitors a small fortune to look at a spring. Neat, but NOT worth the price or even really half the price in my opinion. However, I’d have been happy to donate $20 if I had visited without being expected to pay that much. It just makes me made how entitled places are becoming. Do not waste your money here. It’s not worth it and is pretty lame.

Pulled off the road for a side adventure, and I’m so happy we stopped at Blue Spring. Friendly attendant, nice gift shop, and an amazing historical spot. The scenery is amazing. The spring itself is gorgeous, and the botanical areas are well kept and have a beautiful variety of plants and flowers. The walk is intended to be a loop around the spring and over a narrow but short bridge back to the start, but there are a good amount of stairs at the beginning. It looks like you can use the ramp at the end for handicap access.

We found the exhibits rather dated, And we just didn’t think the spring was that interesting. They have manicured the grounds tremendously, so it is more like a botanical garden. And, the trail of tears story is somewhat interesting. But, all in all, we felt we had better used for our time. This place seems very run down. I gave it an average rating because the walkway is in good condition and the sites are interesting. However $14 per person is a bit steep for what you get! In Eureka Springs you can explore the city and the various springs for free. While Blue Spring is much more beautiful and amazing, I was surprised to have to pay almost $14 per person to walk around the spring and the tributary it empties into. I understand there is upkeep involved, I just thought that seemed a little steep for what it was. That being said, it was really gorgeous. The spring itself is breathtaking and quite amazing. You can dip your feet in the cool spring and see the bluffs that offered shelter on the Trail of Tears. It is calm and peaceful. Aside from the cost, I am glad we visited.

Such a beautiful spring to see in person. I like the short film explaining a little history behind the spring as well as the short film about the divers going almost 200' down the spring never to hit bottom. We enjoyed the very nice boardwalk and stairs leading down to the spring as well as all the flowers around it. There's a spot to feed the trout, but they were out of food at the time. Definitely a gorgeous backdrop for photos. It was great to be able to touch the super cool water coming out of the spring and to see it coming out so fast. It was cool to locate the marks in the bluff, that are numbered by the way 1-5, as well as be able to see see the bluffs that offered shelter on the Trail of Tears. It would be nice to have a "trail of tears" stamp for our passport book like other Trail of Tears historical places have had. We came across who I thought were the landscapers, but turned out to be the owners and his kids planting flowers, cleaning up trash, weed eating, and taking care of things. He explained that his daughter was running the front counter and gift shop and they were doing the outdoor stuff because they just couldn't find employees to work. Really sad, as this place must be super overwhelming for a family to run that has other jobs through the week. I can see lots of room for improvements, but it was obvious they were trying to keep this place open for guest to continue to experience this great piece of Arkansas history. I will add that the gift shop had light snacks along with unique gifts and the restrooms were big, clean and there was plenty of parking.

Thought I took more photos than that but most of them were of my wife. We enjoyed the serene walk around the gardens. The people that complain about the cost probably live like a recluse. Unless you go out on a hike in the middle of now where you have to pay for tranquility. The gardens and the blue hole are beautiful and a must see. The walk took about 30 minutes give or take. There is a museum to look through and a video to watch prior to the walk. Just go and enjoy it, there is nothing to complain about.

Well maintained, beautiful photo ops around every corner for family, senior or wedding photos. Handicap access is via gravel path to the cement. Boardwalk is narrow for assistive devices, but you can still access a good portion. Gift shop with lovely items.

Visiting the Blue Springs Heritage Center was a pleasant experience. The waterfall will catch your eye as you approach the spring. The colors of the plants, the butterflies and the flowers really pop. My wife, my parent-in-laws and I enjoyed our visit. We even dipped our feet in the spring near the waterfall. It stays 54 degrees year round. On a nice hot day, it was nice too cool our feet off in the cool spring waters. It really is scenic.

Stunning views and natural formations! The gardens are lovely and inviting for the children. I enjoyed a wonderful Mother’s Day walk with my husband and daughters here today. I’m so glad this is available to the public.

We visited the Blue Springs Heritage Center on a weekday in June, 2023. The normal entrance was blocked with the decking being replaced or something that required the decking to come off. We entered through the exit to the gift shop. I went to pay for entry for us. The women behind the counter may be the nicest person in the world, just not when we were there. She started to quickly run through her rehearsed speech on where to go. But I had to stop her because I needed my glasses. She said she may not restart in a not very friendly way. But I ignored the comment and we moved on. She strongly insisted that I pay with a credit card. So I obliged and handed her a card. I then noticed that there was a military discount that I qualified for. She responded by saying too late. I guess it would have been horrible to have to cancel the first sale and re-do it. So she appreciates veterans by not letting them have the discount. She gave me the slip to sign. I needed my glasses to see which copy to sign, but she took the copy before I could sign it. So trying to do the right thing, I let her know that I didn't sign it. While this is going on, my wife decided to use the restroom before we entered. Our friendly women, strongly voiced to her that she was going the wrong way. My wife explained to her that she only wanted to use the restroom. So I don't know if it was a bad day or not. But the nicer we tried to be, the meaner she seemed to get. So we cut off speaking with her and went in to the Heritage Center. Once we watched the little movie and got outside things were much nicer. You walk down a lot of stairs to get to the springs and gardens. It was really nice down there. Some of the decking and rails could use attention. But things were in fairly decent shape. They had a sign at the main gazebo suggesting folks feed the trout. But all of the fish food machines were empty. We walked around and enjoyed the sites. But the calm environment to enjoy the gardens or springs were nowhere to be heard. It was just the sound of power saws and commercial lawn mowers. I felt like I needed hearing protection for my quiet walk through the Heritage Center. The Spring and garden themselves were nice and I enjoyed them, even though I am not a flowery kind of guy. When we finished the lower section, we walked the long board walk back to the top. Without a doubt this might have been longer than the stairs. But it had to be so much easier. When we arrived back at the gift shop, we did look around a bit. They did have some nice things. I liked the wooded bears and such. Although we decided not to purchase anything. So we went on our way. While leaving, I could hear that voice from my recent past, giving the current victim a dose of her personality. The restrooms were somewhat clean. They were not filthy by any means. But they sure could have been cleaner. Looking close at things gave away the secrets. But again, it was not filthy. There was a pretty large spider in the urinal that hung out. I enjoyed our visit to the Blue Springs Heritage center. If I could bypass their company representative, It would have been much better. Well maybe mow the lawns when the people paying $17.75 per person are not trying to enjoy the gardens. Yes the cost in June 2023 was $17.75 per adult. $15.75 if you're 65 or older, or a veteran. But make sure you shout it out as you get to the counter. Otherwise, it may be too much trouble to acknowledge your service to this country, by your age or military service. But it is a nice place.

This place is a gem! We visited yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Started off with the two informative videos about the spring and the town of Eureka Springs and then down the cement stairs at the water wheel toward the Spring. The spring itself is amazing and the surrounding gardens are gorgeous. The old mill site and bluff shelter are neat points of interest as well as the view of the spring runoff meeting the White river. An enjoyable walk back up the graduated ramps at the end. Such a beautiful place and totally worth the money! We loved it!

We came during off season, so it was quiet, still nice pool and fish pond,

This place is incredible! The history combined with the location make it a must see. We were amazed at the grounds and enjoyed a fantastic afternoon there. The spring was a sight to see and we enjoyed sitting with our feet in it. Awesome place!

Very interesting. It is a lot of stairs to go down, but the trip back up is on gradually rising walkways. Tells history of the Spring and this stop on the Trail of Tears. Beautiful walk along the river. Landscaped very nicely.

Very beautiful nice walk. The water was very low as it's been a dry season on the other side of the dam. The water is SO clear and definitely cold. I like that they let you sit on the bridge and dangle your feet in the water. I thought Buzzard Roost was a garden name, but no! There are tons of black and turkey buzzards in the trees, flying around and on the ground. Really enjoyed our nice walk around the gardens.

Visited this place today! We had a lot of fun and the surroundings were just so fascinating and beautiful. This place literally feels like you are entering a state of bliss and piece. Everything just feels so surreal when you walk through it.

This place is so freaking awesome. Please come here and enjoy a magical spot. And it’s right down the road from downtown eureka! 10/10

Very neat little lake and park. The trails are great, with lots of beautiful views of the lake and cool rock formations.

This is our family's favorite spot to camp! We'll managed, lots to do! We come back every year!

We walked almost half the trail, and it was amazing! Sad the dam was closed for repairs, but we loved everything else!

Beautiful lake and scenic trails! If you're in the area, you must go and check out.

Beautiful hike around the lake and the playground at the park was cool, plus bigfoot statue was there when I went.

Beautiful tranquil gorgeous and so much fun to hike around

Love the hiking areas, very nice, saw lots of ruts in the woods along the trail from wild pigs.

The cabin we stayed in was ADORABLE! Everyone is very dog friendly (they can stay in the cabins for a fee). The lake made for a great place for my husband and my cousins to fish. They also have a beautiful hiking trail.

1/2 mile trail pretty easy very cool.

Have wanted to go for years and finally got it off my bucket list! Worth waiting for just awesome! Being disabled, it is an easy hike with rails, paved walkways and stairs most of the way. I love ❤️ ROCK 🪨 and it not disappoint, I would go again. When we were leaving, folks were arriving, the attendant was gone but you could still go through just leave your $ in a jar with the honor system. It's $8.00 per person. Well worth the price!

We stumbled across this place after a trip to Thorncrown Chapel. The trail was an easy walk. The scenery was great. The natural bridge was at the beginning of the walk. Trails were easy to follow and walk. It was a half mile loop. Took about 30 minutes to walk it.

The store was closed and we didn’t have a way to figure out what we were supposed to do but we found the trail and it’s very beautiful. It doesn’t take very long to go through the trail about 15 minutes.

This is actually a very short walk into the woods and back. You are essentially paying $8 PER PERSON to take a photo in front of a cool rock, look at some cairns (piles of small stones) and take a walk in the woods. Sadly, I think the drive in may have been as nice as the actual park itself, and that was free. There were children selling their hand painted rocks outside their home, and they were sweet. I think a fee of $3 or maybe $4 would be more appropriate. The fabulous Arkansas state parks are free, and there are way more interesting walks and formations there.

The gift shop is very small, but the owners inside are super sweet and very informative about the history in the area. Parking is free, but there is only room for about 10 vehicles at a time. We didn't mind paying the small fee of $6 each, as we spent well over an hour in the woods and seen several unique things! We hiked almost 1.25 miles from the start at the gift shop to the end on the gift shop porch. The natural bridge is super cool to see in person and is the first thing you see right at the end of the steps. Pictures definitely don't do it any justice. Then right around the corner there's some cool tunnels out of brick in the bottom of the walkway. It's not advisable to get off the trail, and there really wasn't a clear way to get down to them, but they were cool to see! Then you come around to Pivot Rock. Again, the pictures don't really do it justice, it's super cool and rather large to see in person. At this point you can choose to head back by following the huge arrows or you can choose to extend your hike to the right. To the right a little ways down there's tons of rock stacks that guest have left as well as some that have been created naturally. They were the coolest sets of cairns we have ever seen and there was literally hundreds of them all around us. It was very cool to go around and try to find them all. And of course we couldn't leave without making a couple ourselves! Just a few steps down you find the small pivot rock statue with a lot more cairns on it. Close to the fence line we ran into a speckled king snake crossing in front of us and then hiding in a rock hole we spotted a chipmunk having lunch. Then on our way back, we seen a "cave" that had water coming out like a spring. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our hour or so in nature right down the road from the bustle of downtown shopping.

Admission is $8, but it's a short walk to the Rock and natural bridge. I have bad knees, but I managed just fine. Really enjoyed it here, the views were beautiful!

Eureka Springs has so many attractions that allow you to enjoy and appreciate this beautiful country that we live in! Pivot Rock & Natural Bridge is no exception. There is a small charge of $6 per person. The staff member was friendly and welcoming. As soon as you exit the gift shop you are immersed in nature's beauty. It is a well marked trail, and you are soon at the site of the Natural Bridge. Great photo opportunity! It isn't too much farther to interesting Pivot Rock. You can head back to the entrance from here, or extend your hike a little farther. The gravel trail continues for approximately 1/2 mile farther. Besides the natural beauty you can also appreciate the stacked rock art, that other visitors have created! Short hike in beautiful surroundings, and perfect for most ages and physical abilities. This natural rock formation and the natural bridge are reached by an easy, cleared hiking path just a short distance from where you park and pay entrance fee. Walking through the hilly countryside is a treat. Worth a visit; great for families.

It's a nice little walk. The big rock isn't anything I thought was that impressive, but keep walking a bit further and there's an area where they let visitors stack rocks. It sounds odd, but is pretty neat when you see it.

Great place to go see! Such an easy little hike. Make SURE you go past pivot rock and see all the rock formations and the rock art that people have done. It is so worth the extra little walk. Thos is a must-do for Eureka Springs!! It is $7 each at the gift shop to go on the trail.

Stopped by after hiking at Hobbs for a little break. Great little place with a pet-friendly patio. The winds are all made from their local vineyard, not bought in. The sommelier was awesome! She knows everything about the grapes, their origins and was spot-on about the wine characteristics. I went with her recommendations for my flight and wasn't disappointed at all. I took home a couple of bottles that were just so good! 2023 pricing: Tasting of 6: $7 Flight of 5: $15 Souvenir glass: $3.50

Very friendly and informative wine tasting. Learned a lot about the wines and growing regions of their wines. Thank you for your time! Very enjoyable and relaxing.

This is such a cute little winery. The staff is very knowledgeable about wine and very helpful. The wine I tried was really good and I bought a couple bottles to bring home. It’s reasonably priced. It’s got a good location too. If you’re in Eureka Springs and you like wine, it’s a great place to visit.

Super clean and comfortable tasting room. We arrived before opening time due to non-related web sites that posted the hours from six year ago. Fortunately, Google Maps has made such a notification as confirmed by a phone call. Great idea. Owner was doing grunt work off hours but stopped to accommodate us anyhow . The blackberry cordial was amazing (as of 2023).

Amazing little winery! The wine tasting and tasting room was super nice, cozy, and the staff was great! The wines were wonderful and I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Super friendly, fun place to enjoy some really good wine!!

Taste 6 wines (they select them for you) and keep the glass. Nice outdoor and indoor tasting space. The staff is very knowledgeable about wine so you'll have a good time, get buzzed, and learn something new.

The white and blended wines were great! The dry reds were not traditional in flavor. They were busy on Monday afternoon but we were not in a rush and nice place to escape the heat for a bit.

I loved this place! Moved to Arkansas from Illinois and never did I ever go somewhere that you can play with a kitty and taste wine!!

This was our first time here and they were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were amazing. I'm looking forward to coming back. Great experience that you need to try during your visit to Eureka Springs.

Cailey (sp?) was super friendly & knowledgeable about all the wines. In addition to this, all of the wines were also EXCELLENT. Prices were good as well. We loved chatting with her and getting to know more about the winery & wines and future plans of the winery as well. Our absolute favorite place we visited while we were down there. She was so kind to us and I enjoyed learning so much. That’s what a winery trip should be like! Wonderful experience in every way and I’d totally recommend paying Keels a visit.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My husband & I visited this wonderful winery on a recent trip to Eureka Springs. Our host, Sara, was so welcoming & informative. We spent well over an hour sampling their awesome wines & left with 4 bottles of deliciousness. The Vignoles white is so smooth & buttery, the Pink House flavor is amazing, Embarrassed red has nothing to be embarrassed about because it’s perfect (!) & Ozark Truck after dinner wine is a one-of-a-kind. If you’re going to Eureka DO NOT MISS THIS. Thank you, Sara, we will definitely be coming back. Lisa & Tim Murphy

Stopped for a tasting - very reasonably priced! Great location, atmosphere and our sever was fantastic along with being very knowledgeable! All grapes are locally grown, don't miss this place!!

Excellent customer service and personalized attention. The wines were of excellent quality. Don’t expect finger-snapped city attention. This is a boutique winery with all the small town feels. A winery I will visit again. Definitely 5 ⭐️

We visited last October and did the tasting and really enjoyed the wine and the experience. So much so that we bought a case of several different varieties. We have opened 8 bottles and 6 of them have been spoiled upon opening and visibly oxidized. We reached out to the winery and they have made no effort to correct matters. Very disappointing for a local business to not care for their customers. Update: We’ve opened all 12 bottles and only 3 bottles were drinkable. The rest turned to vinegar. The owners still have not reached out. Do not buy their wine. It is a waste of money.

Beautiful historic park situated in the heart of Eureka Springs Arkansas. Has plenty of seating and gorgeous sightlines down main street. Usually some sort of live music or event happening there as well.

Pretty park. You can tell up to the spring too. There's a fabulous statue nearby.

We love visiting Basin Spring Park when we're in town! The parking across the street is a great midpoint downtown for exploring Eureka Springs. We try to visit this park every time we go to Eureka. :)

Almost in the heart of Down town Eureka Springs. Nice little area to sit and relaxe after doing some shopping.

Located in the heart of downtown, this park offers more than meets the eye. A few short trails lead you to natural springs. The park offers both small town feels and a hidden oasis.

You have to visit Basin Spring Park while visiting Eureka Springs because it is one of the main (among many) springs in the area. Climb to the top to see the spring as well as a beautiful view of the city! Grab an ice cream cone or snack from one of the many shops located by the park and enjoy the day!

Very nice little sitting area with a small amphitheater for music and small events. Lots of cool eatery places right around it as well as a cool trail up to the spring. Lots of places to sit and take a rest after walking around busy downtown!

Very nice park in the middle of downtown area. It’s a cool place for adults, and kids. You can climb and go up. However, there was ki d music going on, so we were too occupied. The live music by different bands are extremely good organized. The sound arrangement is very well. There are benches.

Incredibly welcoming community that gives you the feeling of home. You can see the rich history of small town life, spectacular dining options and unparalleled boutique shopping experiences!

We were close by seeing the Lion and Tiger sanctuary. All of them are rescues from people who have the stupid idea to have as pets when young. Some of them are abused and cross bred causing genetic problems . Really a great place , going later in the day is probably better. They lay around but still can see them while on there Tram that goes arouns.

Building is beautiful. Not much to look at inside. Should be free with donations appreciated. Been to at least a dozen of these small town museums and have seen a lot more in smaller towns. The museum could offer some nice events that monetarily benefit them instead of asking five dollars for an entry. Nice that the town at least has something though.

I think it was interesting but I really love this little town. I think a fiver is a bit steep for what's provided. I feel like they should team up with the folks that do the guided tours to have some sort of "walkthrough" to make the place more impactful?

Soo much history packed into a little museum. Admission is $5 and you can definitely spend at least a hour in there. A few things I enjoyed the most was a 13 star flag, a mural on the second floor, and an old Telsa skin imperfection removal machine.

Admission was only $5 per person, and it was really neat! It was a self guided tour, but we were the only ones there and the guy gave us a lot of background info. It was a great way to start off our stay and get some information about the history of the town! Very cool!

It was good history of the town if you are visiting here

Very interesting. I would recomend visiting tgis museum before you see anything else in Eureka Springs and it puts the whole town in perspective.

Small hometown museum housed in an historic building. Worth a look. Plan on 30 minutes. I appreciate the free parking. While you're there, check out the bank museum just down the street a short distance.

Worst place I’ve ever been. Waste of money, and waste of time. Hope they close down and do something useful with the building.

Eurick Springs, Ar. - Historical DTown area to relax with a meal , beer & watch people having fun Relaxing, talking & enjoy any given day!! Nice just Nice 😁

This place is nice! If you love history it will be great for you! We enjoyed learning and the scavenger hunt! Thank you so much!

The history of this place was so cool. They pretty much have the entire history of Eureka Springs in their establishment. Articles, artifacts, and everything else.

Nice history center! We learned so much about this cool little town. We became members to support #localhistory 🇺🇸 PS - Ladies, curling our hair has come a long way 🤷‍♀️🤣
