Are you a history buff, fan of colorful stories, or just want to know more about Eureka Springs? If so, you’ll love the entertaining and educational Downtown and Underground Eureka Springs Tour!
Eureka Springs has a colorful history, to say the least. In fact, the entire city is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Native Americans knew of the area because of the hot springs, which they felt had healing powers. European settlers, hearing the legends, came here in the mid 1800’s, forming a rural spa village around the hot springs. Stories of the hot springs’ healing powers drew thousands and soon the small village was a sprawling city.

Looking for a little adventure? War Eagle Cavern on beautiful Beaver Lake includes an underground lake, bats, trails, waterfalls, and more. Plus it’s only a half hour’s drive from 5 Ojo, our Eureka Springs bed and breakfast!
War Eagle Cavern is one of the oldest show caves in the state, and the largest in Northwest Arkansas. Its entrance is wide and dark, like some dragon’s lair in a medieval fantasy. Inside, three stories of caverns contain many unusual shapes and features, including domes, rimstone dams, and waterfalls.
That’s right, War Eagle is home to a natural, fresh water spring that flows out of the cave’s mouth, next to the entry path. Very unique!

Beautifully landscaped Blue Spring Heritage Center, home to one of the area’s last uncapped springs, offers a fantastic combination of geology, history, and natural beauty.
Though Blue Spring has seen different uses and been landscaped over the years, the special area retains its beauty. The natural spring produces 38 million gallons of fresh, clear, 54-degree water every day. This water fills a deep, round pool encircled with flowers before spilling over into a trout-filled lagoon, then over a small dam and down to the White River.

Arkansas is riddled with fascinating caves you can visit and tour. Did you know that Arkansas’ oldest show cave, Onyx Cave, is barely 15 minutes away from 5 Ojo, our Eureka Springs inn? It’s true!
Onyx Cave first opened to the public in 1893, just a couple of years after its discovery. The cave is filled with fascinating shapes: stalagmites, stalactites, and weird formations of flowstone. In fact, that’s where the cave got its name.
Flowstone is a smooth, sheet-like deposit of minerals that forms in a limestone cave, over thousands of years due to flowing water. Flowstone was once commonly referred to as “cave onyx,” and at least four states are home to one or more caves with “onyx” in their names.

Fairytales, Fables, and Folklore are the theme for Eureka Springs Mardi Gras 2020! Eureka Gras sees a cornucopia of events, including parades, parties, masked balls, and other events on now through the last week of February.
If you think New Orleans has the American lock on Mardi Gras, think again. While N’awlins and places like Mobile, AL get most of the press, Mardi Gras is celebrated all over the country, to some degree or another. Perhaps nowhere with as much joy and enthusiasm as right here in Eureka Springs, AR.
We take Mardi Gras seriously, here in Eureka Springs, with our own Royal Court, and Krewe of Krazo (Krazo is Ozark backwards). Eureka Gras includes more than a month of activities, including two parades, numerous parties and formal balls, and lots of 2nd line bands.

Believe it or not the holidays are almost upon us! Thanksgiving is already less than a month away with Eureka Springs Christmas Parade of Lights right behind. Read on to learn more about how we celebrate the holiday season in our little corner of the Ozarks!
The fun never stops in Eureka Springs, spring or fall, night or day. This is particularly true during the holiday season. Every week, from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve, features at least one – if not many – holiday dinner, tour, concert, or other event to attend. The whole town gets into the spirit with festive lights, creative decorations, and lots of holiday sales.
This town loves parades and one the biggest of the year is the annual Eureka Springs Christmas Parade of Lights. A big reason for this particular parade’s popularity resides in the fact that it is held at night.
Why a night parade?
Why, the better to see the thousands of lights that make up the floats, bespeckle the walkers, and suffuse the bands in their warming glow. This annual parade truly is a unique and magical spectacle that must be seen to be believed. It’s not all our Eureka Springs holiday has in store for you, though!
