Events

There are plenty of adventures along the trail.

Set in a eerie and intimate redeveloped Victorian church, this show takes audience members on a magical, humorous, and mind-blowing venture into the world of telepathy. The audience actually become part of the performance… unfolding, mystical tales, magical demonstrations and introductions to special guests from ‘the other side’ become an interactive experience. Members of the audience often take the stage and, while under hypnosis, regress back to a previous life only to return with physical proof of having crossed over.

#2 Crescent Hotel Ghost Tour

speaking of “the other side”, no building is more famous for their “guests who check out but never leave” than the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa. Well-respected as a mountaintop spa resort and wedding destination, this Historic Hotel of America takes guests on a hotel ghost tour every night giving them the chance to perhaps meet apparitions like Michael, Theodora, or the Lady In The Mist.

The 1886 Crescent Hotel is recognized by many as America’s most haunted hotel. There is even a ghost tour developed for kids!

#3 Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

How many big cats are cared for at TCWF? This 450-acre ranch is located just a few minutes from downtown Eureka Springs cares for abused, abandoned and neglected lions and tigers (and other animals). They are open to the public in hopes of getting people to join in their mission. Get up close to these magnificent animals. Most recently, TCWR rescued nearly three-dozen big cats from a nearby county where they were being inadequately housed and cared for by a lady, due to her age and health condition, who could no longer give the animals proper care. With this transition in its final stages, guests can meet the latest “cool cats” at this magnificent and breathtaking refuge that now houses nearly 150 animals including 138 big cats including mountain lions, cougars, panthers, bobcats, oh… and a bear.

Enjoy great food, hat contests and a whole lot of dancing. Tickets are available at ESSA.
