The 10 Best Performances in Arkansas, United States

August 18, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.

The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

My husband and I tried out the escape room and loved the story that brings you back in time to solve the puzzles. I loved that it was based on a true event, too. They were easy to book, extremely friendly, fun, enthusiastic, and helpful. No detail was left unthought of! Super fun for everyone of all ages! They even gave us a magnet photo of our experience.

My friends and I went on a girls’ trip the first weekend in November. We try to go every year to some haunted hotel or ghost tour, etc., and we generally end up being disappointed. This year my friend saw an advertisement for Vince’s show and signed us up. We are so glad she did! I was selected to connect the card to it’s owner (Vince had everyone say their name and as my friend said her name it vibrated in my hand), 3 of my friends were selected to assist the spirits in selecting the medians, and 2 of my friends ended up being the medians (we had a party of 6). All of my friends experienced different interactions with the spirits at different times. I will say there are some theoretically effects, like dimming and brightening of the lights which are totally unnecessary (in my opinion). The experience is real and that can let doubt creep into your mind, so I personally would leave it out. However, it was truly an amazing experience that we will do again soon. We loved it!

I absolutely loved the show! It was something that I have never experienced before. The show was intriguing to me because it was horror and it had some comedy which made it even better both versions of Anna were amazing in every way and I would definitely recommend going to see the show if you find yourself in downtown eureka and like being thrilled. ????

Since 1968, the Play has been seen by over 7.7 Million people from all over the world. The Play is performed beneath the night sky by a cast of around 150 actors and many live animals as well. Our hope and prayer is to make the Scriptures come alive! THE BIBLE MUSEUM is open every day except Sunday, 10:00am until 5:00pm.

All exhibits have been researched archaeologically and historically for authenticity. Tours run on day of Play performances from 12:00pm-4:00pm. There is walking at each stop. The longest time walking at any one stop is approximately thirty minutes. During days the Play is not performed, we also have special guided tours of the Holy Land, backstage area, and lunch.

This is an amazing play with several scenes and buildings that portray 42 scenes of the days of Jesus on a hillside. Excellent performance including children and animals. And when Jesus ascends into the clouds???? I want to go back early so I can do the Holy land tour which takes you through-the town they built for the play!
