I liked the Crescent and thought the ghost tour was fun.
If you like art, there are a lot of little shops to enjoy. My wife and I have been a couple times and will probably head back there again as soon as the nest empties. |

Wife and I go down there every couple years for a quick getaway weekend. It’s beautiful and I really enjoyed hiking at Leatherwood Lake. The Grotto is a cool restaurant if you want red meat and wine and ambiance. There’s a trolley tour for Victorian homes I will be doing next time we go down.

Eureka Springs rules. Wife and I get there sans kids just to chill. But we kinda like to just loaf around and do whatever we feel so not sure we’re the folks to rely on for entertainment but you will have a nice relaxing time and that’s money for us.

If you are into Civil War history, Pea Ridge National Military Park is about 25 miles away. And Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is about 10 miles away. It's more of a big cat rescue organization, but it's pretty cool. If you are into that sort of thing.

Turpentine Creek was cool if you want to see big cats and bears. And it’s a good cause from what I could gather

There’s a nice winery north of town.
Bonus because you cross over a couple of old ass 1 lane wooden bridges to get there. |

When I visited there, it seemed like a very religious town... and now to read it's very progressive with an LGBTQ takeover? crazy.
Anyway, stayed at a Bed and Breakfast right on the main strip downtown, it was cool. |

Cool place to hang out for a weekend getaway. Wife and I went there last weekend and tried Sauced BBQ for the first time. Brisket and burnt ends were both great. Would add them to the list of good places to eat.

Went there on my honeymoon. Stayed at the Cresent. Downtown shops were kind of cool. Bought some art that I still have on my wall. Best part was riding the dinner train. Great little trip.
