    This place is gorgeous and the people that run it were so lovely. It is a must see if you're in the Eureka Springs area. It was on my bucket list and honestly was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

    We did not see the actual springs, so I am just rating on the high fee and lack of price info for this place. All brochures and signs fail to mention there is a fee and I wish I would have read the yelp reviews first or checked online. It is privately owned and they do have nice gardens outside, a gift shop, and a visitors center in a small area to view. When we arrived we thought it was odd there were zero cars there and they were not busy at all on a sunny weekend. The springs look pretty from the photos but not worth (in my opinion) $18+ an adult (around $14 a child) to see the spring . We left and decided to just see the multiple free springs and chapel in Euerka Springs instead.

    Definitely would have been better if it hadn't been so blessed hot outside so my advise is to arrive as early as possible in the summer. We needed one more thing to do before we left town so we did up the $13 a piece fee and toured. Honestly, though, the gardens in the parking lot were maybe more beautiful than some of the planned gardens inside. I attribute that to all the butterflies on the coneflowers and zinnias. The staff inside was a bit over worked (or seemed like it). We were told to watch the video in the visitor's center first. We did. It was interesting but was more of a teaser to buy the DVD. They do reference the Trail of Tears and there's an ancient camp within the bluffs (but it was a bit cheapened by the white wedding arch and chairs). The spring itself is beautiful and I really wanted to break the rules and jump in. I can't imagine how deep it is. Maybe if we had spent more time here, the rating would be higher. Be prepared to walk some stairs and even the handicap ramp is a bit long. Know there's a lot of gravel paths too to maneuver.

    I recommend going here if you are in Eureka Springs for more than one day. Last time we were here it was more than 20 years ago. It was very hot and humid but got to dip our feet in the spring but you aren't able to do it for long because it's sooooo cooooooold!!! Brrrr 54 degrees! You have to pay to get in and price depends on age and we didn't get any discounts, shoot oh well, it was only 28 for the both of us I think. we had a nice hike and you can watch some vids about the spring in the visitor center. I recommend going in the morning if the weather is hot.

    Great stop if you are in the Eureka Springs area! Enter through the gift shop, and it costs about $14 to see the spring, but I thought that was pretty worth it. You walk a short distance with some lovely views of water and landscaping, and you end up at the spring! The guide in the gift shop recommended sticking your feet in, and that was awesome! You have to sit down on the little bridge and stick your feet under the railing, but it's so worth it! The water was crisp and cold! After hearing about the healing powers of the spring water in Eureka Springs, my girlfriend did try and drink some, and I'm happy to report she did not get any amoebas from the water! After the spring, you walk a nice little loop to get back to the visitor center. There's a weird little "museum" where you can watch a video about the drivers who explored the spring if you need to cool off! Definitely recommend!

    Kind of out of the way to get here, but I really recommend coming if you'll be anywhere in NW Arkansas. Admission is about $20 per person but the views alone are worth it. You can spend as long as you like, taking your time to walk all the way around the path for an hour or two, or like we did cut to the end of the path and stay only about 30 mins (if it's 100 degrees out and 1000% humidity like it was when we came). Indescribable beauty, something you have to see for yourself.

    Such a beautiful place with so much incredible history! The walk was enjoyable, and the water was so clear and peaceful! The restrooms were clean, and the sweet lady in the gift shop took the time to explain the map to us so we could enjoy the experience to its fullest! I would get a season pass if we lived in the area.

    Super amazing and beautiful however, not good for people who have trouble with stairs, it does have a steep staircase but it's a beautiful view! Like insanely gorgeous! There is a "wheelchair accessible" bridge way but it has a gravel area which could be hard for people in wheelchairs. All in all, this was totally worth it for me, it was so gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful!!!

    We had one day to spend in Eureka Springs, and we started it at the Blue Spring Heritage Center. We absolutely loved our visit! It may not have the most cutting edge facilities, but IMO, it doesn't need them to tell its story. The short videos were interesting and informative, the grounds and the gardens were beautifully maintained, and we really appreciated the informational signs. The blue spring and the lagoon were just stunning in color and beauty. In addition, the owner was friendly and kind as he answered my 10,000 questions. (I tend to ask a lot of questions.) We enjoyed our visit and walk and felt it was $13.75 well spent.

    Absolutely beautiful gardens and grounds. Definitely worth the stop! About a mile walk.

    We were very excited about this place since it was advertised as "handicapped accessible." It's $10 a person and there is a gift shop, visitors center, and the spring itself. The spring was very neat and we saw it on a good day. However, it is *not* handicap accessible. It's a long way to the springs and the gravel doesn't work for people to get down to it. When we expressed our complaint about not even being able to go down to the spring we were told "sorry" but not offered a refund - even though one of us weren't able to go down there. The property seems to be struggling as there are some things that were not being taken care of. The gardens and spring were pretty.

    Very nice walking trails. We did go after the freeze so not many plants, but I'm sure it's very beautiful when in bloom.

    I didn't realize pets weren't allowed at all (which seems silly since you hike down to the spring.)

    Nice, peaceful, and relaxing, and it's harder to get lost here than a lot of the crazy streets in Eureka Springs.

    Christ of the Ozarks was a bit underwhelming to be honest, but it feels wrong to give anything less…read morethan 4 stars to anything Jesus-inspired as he the absolute most amazing human to walk out earth. It was quite irritating to have to stop at the gate. I already knew it was free entry, but an older women practically stepped out in front of my Jeep. She was nice, but she didn't provide us with hardly any info after rambling on about everything except why we were there. Then she shoved a flyer at me, asked us where we were from, and said a donation would be cool. About the area to leading to the statue... By the time we got to Eureka Springs on 7.23.2025 it was so hot already. I tried my best to keep my dog on cooler grounds, but she ran on the hot pavement anyway. It is a short walk to the statue and a nice lookout area. I suggest everyone go on more walkabouts and contemplate their relationship with Jesus. Public restrooms were available, but not all that clean. Wheelchairs were available to borrow, but come on... you can muster the strength to walk to Jesus... Completed in 1966, this gleaming white statue stands at seven-stories tall. There was an informational sign on Jesus's back side. Dogs were not allowed at The Great Passion Play, so that was a big no for us even if they had a showing. We did not peruse any shops near the gate. Everything seemed too commercialized for my taste. I dedicate this review to my Aunt Dena who died today (8.27.2025) after an 8-year battle with cancer. RIP precious lady!

    I found the way this is set up on the map to be confusing…read more We went to see the statue - yet found out that there's an entrance gate about 1/4 mile from it at "The Great Passion Play Sign" and everything beyond that is part of a big complex including the statue itself, a holy land tour, a bible museum, a sacred heart building, a chapel, and a section of the Berlin Wall. There was a huge outdoor area seating around 4,000 for a "Passion Play". There was also a gift shop, and many hiking trails. Didn't expect that. People that worked there were very friendly. I see it as a very good cause - ideal for evangelical types; yet can easily fit others.
