Things To Do
Walking Trails & Springs
Beautiful trails with springs all around town. To download a Map go to: http://www.eurekasprings.org/activities/parks-trails/ (This map includes all of the following spring locations described.)
Sweet Spring
Historic spot. This is the site of our wedding ceremony.
Crescent Spring
Historic spot. A short walk on Spring Street from Sweet Spring.
Grotto Spring
Historic spot. Beautiful walk or drive to this spring, depending on where you are in town.
Magnetic Spring
Put metallic objects in this spring and watch them become magnetic! Historic spot.
Basin Spring Park
Centrally located park and spring with community events. Fun to climb around above the stage area. This where community drumming takes place every first Saturday from May through October, 6-8 pm.
Staircase "UP"
Beautiful spot. We'd like to take wedding photos with all of you here!
Eureka Springs Historical Museum
Exhibits on the town of healing waters.
1886 Crescent Hotel Ghost Tours, Upstairs Restaurant & Decks
Historic & haunted. Ghost Tours and themed bar & restaurant (kinda creepy) upstairs.
1901 Palace Hotel and Bath House
Historic 1901 bath house with spa amenities.
1905 Basin Park Hotel, Resturant & Deck
Cool building to walk around in. Food is ok. It's more about the historical interest.
Tavern At Rogue's Manor
Very interesting indoor decor & bar.
Grotto Wood-Fired Grill and Wine Cave
This is where we will have our reception. We will be upstairs, however, downstairs in fun and unique because the restaurant and bar are in a cave.
Farm To Table Fresh
Yummy, just like the name of the place. We will have the "Rehearsal" Dinner for immediate family here.
The Stonehouse
Yummy wine & cheese bar with indoor/outdoor seating.
Brews
Best coffee shop with local artists' work on display. Beer & Wine.
Ermilio's Italian Home Cooking
Super popular! May have to wait a while for a seat, yet a local hot spot.
The Bavarian Inn Restaurant
Sounds interesting. Czech food, German chocolate cake, too!
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge
Rescued big cats and bears! Very short drive south out of town.
Onyx Cave
Yay caves! A short drive northeast outside of town.
Thorncrown Chapel
World famous architectural feat. Some people come to Eureka Springs just for this. Worth the short drive north outside of town. About 10 minutes.
Blue Spring Heritage Center
Beautiful & historical place for walking. Worth the short drive north out of town. (Further on the same highway, past Thorncrown Chapel.)
Pea Ridge National Military Park
Civil War historical site. The park was created by Congress in 1956 to preserve the battlefield of the 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge. Heading west outside of Eureka Springs, it is between Eureka Springs and the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport.
Crystal Bridges Museum
Amazing contemporary architecture. Museum of American Art. Outdoor sculptures. Permanent collection includes Norman Rockwell, Mark Rothko, buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, and others. Plan at least a half-day for this. Well worth it, if possible. In Bentonville, near the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport.
Walton's 5 & 10
The original 5 & dime store of the Walton's. Includes museum and ice cream! Definitely an interesting look at the history of mom & pop stores. Near the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport.
