We had to come visit the working bunny! This is such a fun shop that has a lot of souvenir options available to purchase. I love that they adopt bunnies and raise money to help support the bunny community. read more

This was the very first place that I stopped with my family on a day trip to Eureka Springs. The bunnies were the main thing making the store interesting for the visit, but there were also some unique things that I was unable to find at other nearby stores. read more

1 star for the business. The bunnies deserve 5 stars. The worker that helped us was EXTREMELY rude & impatient! The bunnies do hand you your money & bag but the worker didn't even wait for me to put my hand out before she kept just handing the bunny change & dropping it on the counter. The items in store are strictly tourist knick knacks so if you buy anything it's strictly for the bunnies & she acted inconvenienced & put out when asked about them. Worker was at the counter & we went up to check out & she said you're at the wrong counter, that's why we have for you to read, as it's a small hand written signed turned sideways so na totally different counter. Her tone was short, rude, disrespectful & ai would NEVER go back. Horrible experience. read more

Had the absolute best time shopping around in here. I had seen videos of the working bunnies all over tiktok and facebook and had no idea they were so close in Eureka Springs! It was so exciting and fun and the employee working was so nice. He made sure we were ready and had the bunny pose for a picture! I would 100% go back again next time i'm in town. read more

So, just so you know... TODAY is international bunny day! This is an adorable gift shop which is bunny-centric but also has local fare. On the day we visited, Gumbo the rabbit was assisting at the register and Sushi the bunny was hiding out working security. We got a Christmas gift for the boy and paid whereupon Gumbo game us the pen to sign with, our credit card back as well as the two receipts. Totes adorbs!! read more

So, this is pretty much just a random junk store. They allegedly had some bunnies that help with the financial transactions but I couldn't find anything worthy buying and the place was dead. I'm not even sure anyone was working, no one spoke to us in here. It was fun to browse the junk and kill time. read more

Interesting souvenir shop in downtown Eureka Springs. They sell all kind of cool exotic souvenirs including pretty nice scented soap made in London. There are two cute bunnies staying there: Tofu and Gumbo. The store owner is nice and the cool part is the "working bunny" Gumbo giving you change, receipt, and your purchase on the counter. It's worth a detour and watching the bunnies in the store. read more

Basic cheap store of whatever stuff in the midst of a lot of cute boutiques. Unmemorable except they have bunny rabbits take your money, hand you your change and receipt, etc. That was neat! Apparently they're rescue bunnies. Except now I have read a review that alleges animal mistreatment... And that makes me so unhappy. The man (owner?) who worked the counter with the bunny while I was there was cheery and soft-spoken. I hope the bunnies are well-treated and that the owner monitors every human employee. read more

The selection wasn't super great for comfort colors, but We still bought some clothing! It is super cute that the bunnies literally hand you the receipt, the pen, the card back, and the receipt yo sign, as well as the items you buy if they were small enough. We took my catahoula lab in the store and I didn't realize they had live bunnies running around- safe to say I waited outside with her while my boyfriend checked out. Very cool!!! read more

Awful place to go to. The lady basically hit and shove the rabbits to force them to give you things. Very saddening to see that. Don't come here. I don't support that idea of hitting the rabbits to work for you. read more
