    So uniquely representative of nature and faith. Settled in the mountain terrain of Eureka Springs, one may sit in the congregational seats, peer out the surrounding windows, enjoy the silent visitation of others, and meditate on the religious significance of the peace, beauty, and quiet witness of the area. This is a very nice local offering of a spiritually uplifting, comfortable, welcoming, and calming gift to those travelers who want to take something lasting away from their visit.

    I appreciate the hosting church providing a cost-free, extra-special and unique treasure to travelers seeking memories from a truly special place.

    Amazing! We all watched Tiger king and I was worried which way this would go…. It was great! The cats are healthy and active, the enclosures are big filled with toys and logs and the rescue work is honorable. They seem to take great care in these animals as they can’t be released back into the wild, this seems to be the best life they could have. My kids had a blast! We got lucky- early spring and the sun popped out while we were there so most of the cats were out and about (we even got to see the huge grizzly after what they said had been months of him staying in his den). GO!! You will not regret it! We will be going back when the expansion opens

    Such a fun show! Loved the audience interaction and amazing illusions. Long show, over 2.5 hours with an intermission. Definitely worth the price!

    This is a must stop when in Eureka Springs! It's free to enter but they do ask for donations. The Statue is huge and you can walk right up to it. There are also lots of hiking trails around the Statue and through the park as well. They also offer a holy land tour for a fee and we took it. I highly recommend it. It was an amazing experience! I think it was only $20 for the tour. We were not there on a play day so none of the other exhibits were open. I would love to go back and actually catch the passion play.

    On pretty much every visit to Eureka Springs, I insist on swinging by St. Elizabeth’s except when I get to go early Sunday Mass there. I love this building. It is beautiful maintained, from the grounds to the inside of the church. There were quite a few other people there visiting when I stopped by. I saw three or four families milling about (pointed out the recently restore/redone mural inside over the altar to one such group). Glad I got to visit once again. If you are anywhere near the Crescent Hotel, it is just done the hill and worth the visit.

    Relaxing and scenic. Crystal clear lake, great for stand up paddle boards, kayaks or bigger boat outings. Will come back to enjoy Corp of Engineers RV sites. Beautiful.

    My parents and I visited Downtown Eureka Spring on a Sunday, St. Patrick’s Day to be exact. We expected it to be less busy since the parade had been the day before and visitors should have been heading home. Surprisingly, the place was a madhouse. All the metered street parking was full or not wide enough, so my dad finally paid to park by the bank (money goes to a local organization to fund them). Even with the mobs of people, the sidewalks were not too crowded and I was able to get some pretty good shots of the buildings and such as we walked around. We finally realized it was so crazy because it was the start of spring break, though Eureka Springs doesn’t seem a likely location to go. Overall, a fun visit as always.

    Historic property with extensive grounds. This property is a combination arboretum, garden, landscape walk on wooden paths with some local history on the grounds. I read some concerns on the admission price, but today most gardens/arborteums are charging comparable fees.

    This is an excellent way to explore Eureka Springs where parking can be limited. Several color-coded buses transport guests to all areas of the city, with drop off and pick up locations clearly numbered. The buses run from 10am to 6pm, and can be picked up at any numbered location. We also enjoyed the narrated historic city tour. The guide was informative and entertaining. We thought the cost was very reasonable for our two-day visit.

    Interesting bit of history and how someone’s passion, with some perseverance and ingenuity, left a legacy.

    Highly recommend the audio walking through. The guide was very knowledgeable. I recommend taking a light sweater and comfortable shoes. Be prepared for a very steep walk before you get to the cave entrance.
