  • 1. Great Passion Play

    Arts/Performance Venue

    Since its inception in 1968, nearly 8 million spectators have attended this larger-than-life experience, making it the most attended outdoor drama in the United States (according to the Institute of Outdoor Drama at the University of North Carolina). The performance features 170 actors and hundreds of live animals on a three-stories-tall set the size of two football fields, built into the side of a hill. Other attractions on the grounds include a sacred art museum, a Bible museum, a replica of parts of the Holy Land, and the 67-foot high statue, "Christ of the Ozarks," erected here in 1966. An all-you-can-eat buffet is also available for an extra charge. Discounts are available for groups of 15 or more.

  • 4. Turpentine Creek

    Nature Preserve/Wildlife Refuge

    Located 7 miles south of Eureka Springs, Turpentine Creek is one of the few USDA-licensed refuges for large carnivores, providing lifetime protection for abandoned, neglected, and abused big cats, with special emphasis on lions, tigers, leopards, and cougars. Visitors are welcomed by staff with a brief orientation, then have the opportunity to get up close to animals in near-natural habitats with either a self-guided or guided tour. Feeding times, usually at 4 in winter and 5 in summer (call ahead to confirm), are especially exciting. Overnight lodging is available in upscale safari lodges (two-night minimum) or RV campsites. Check the website for Keeper Talks, scheduled only on weekends. Personalized, guided photography shoots are also available, but must be booked in advance.
