A fantastic glass chapel surrounded by woods and bluffs. Free to be viewed for a free-will donation. A opportunity moment to spend a moment in quiet prayer to God in the middle of a busy day of sightseeing.

First of all, the architecture is extremely different and lends itself to the serene feeling you have while sitting in the chapel. If you are lucky, you might get to hear the Hostess sing a song. Beautiful!!!

Stunning. A glass chapel in the middle of the wilderness. Definitely worth the drive. You are allowed to take pictures.

Absolutely beautiful and awe inspiring....and the best part, it's free. 8000 square feet of glass from ceiling to floor with soft hymn music playing.

Famous, and it deserves it. I only wish it hadn't been raining. You aren't allowed to stand or walk around and I was happy about that. You are allowed to take photos from your seat (pew).

A beautiful place for a serenity break. The genius of the architecture is that you feel that you are outside. The organist was present, handing out brochures, and she played a very brief concert while we were there, which was a treat. This is definitely worth the short drive out of Eureka Springs.
