The Great Passion Play, also known as America’s number one outdoor drama, is a must visit on your trip to Eureka Springs – with museums, trails, guided tours, gift shops, dining options, and more.

The Great Passion Play
Set in their vast outdoor amphitheater, this powerful production brings the story to life with a multi-level set, incredible lighting and sound effects, live animals, and a cast of over 125 actors dressed in Biblical costumes. Since 1968, this Christian drama has been performed in the picturesque Ozark Mountains in Eureka Springs.
Witness the Easter story unfold from Easter weekend and the first weekend in May through the first two weekends in November. This experience is perfect for families, groups, or church gatherings!
Other than this performance, the Passion Play offers a myriad of activities to do year round – visitors can enjoy a free petting zoo, biblically accurate marketplace with handmade goods, gift shops, snack shops and the Great Hall buffet, the Holy Land tour, over 20 miles of mountain bike trails, and of course the Christ of the Ozarks statue.
During the holiday season, the Passion Play offers a drive thru Christmas light experience and a large indoor Christmas village display.
