    Additional church onsite

    This place is stunning!! The architecture is stunning and with nature wrapping itself all around the grounds it's breathtakingly beautiful.

    Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, AR was very cool. My aunt's sister tried to tell me that the Anthony Chapel in Hot Springs was a replica. I wasn't having it then, but didn't argue with her because she's one of those people who always thinks they're right. I am not having it now either since I have visited both chapels. Thorncrown is also predominately a glass chapel, however, it seats only 100 guests and has a cooler tone in its beams and seems much more rustic compared to the Anthony counterpart. Parking was free. Entry was free. The lady inside was very nice to my daughters while I stayed outside with our dog. It is slightly tricky to find from the winding highway, but on July 24, 2025 it was a divine treat for our eyes - busy too at approximately 9 AM. I bet it's even more breathtaking in the fall. Highly recommend.

    Gorgeous, Serene and peaceful, this breathtaking glass chapel is worth the stop. Sitting here and being surrounded by nature was just amazing. I understand to avoid any closure for services or weddings, it's advised to visit on a week day.

    5-star architecture designed by Fay Jones (who the architecture school at U-Arkansas is named for). When sitting inside, it truly looks like you can walk out the back - right into the mountains - yet it is really just clear glass. Good place for a roughly 10-minute stop to take it in and read the background. No trails around to see from different angles. Not someplace you'd go for a long time, unless you're into praying or meditating for a while there.

    If you are in the area, you shouldn't miss this. Beautiful and peaceful. No admission fee, but donations accepted.

    Worship Center, another beautiful building on the property worth seeing, even if you can't go in it.

    Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Sitting inside was completely surreal. The woman working inside, greeting people was extremely friendly and happy to chat about the chapel. The path to the chapel is on the north side of the parking lot. Hidden from the west side of the parking lot down some stairs is another building, signs note as the Worship Center, which was closed while we were there, but we're glad we stopped to see it as it's also beautiful. They do close the gate until 9 AM, so don't think you can park early and walk the grounds like we did.

    If you're able to visit on a Sunday make sure to plan you're visit to be able to attend on of their Sunday services! Double check their website for the service times, but they are so beautiful and the acoustics that match the beautiful atmosphere just go hand in hand. Once in a lifetime!

    I had been here before there was Yelp and now I'm back. It hasn't changed. It is still magical and beautiful. It is amazing that something like this can be designed and built. It is beyond stunning. Designed by an apprentice of the great Franky Lloyd Wright, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. That's a big deal because buildings have to be 50 years old to get that status. Deservedly so, it's a beautiful church. Entry is free though a donations are requested. Photographers are also requested to be respectful of other guests and only take pictures while seated - it is an active place of worship. [Review 19809 overall - 285 in Arkansas - 782 of 2023.]

    Designer E. Fay Jones, Eureka Springs, AR. Stunning! if you're in the area, make this a must stop

    The chapel nestled in the woods of the Ozarks is very serene. They have a parking lot and are open daily for visitors to stop in. They do suggest a donation and give printed information packs to everyone who comes in. The chapel is very peaceful and has soft music playing. The architecture is very compelling and it's nice to sit and take it in

    Beautiful! We visited on a rainy day. Upon stepping into the chapel, a person sits inside and gives out a brochure and invites you to sit in the chapel. There is also a table with a few books to purchase and a donation box to help with maintenance costs of the chapel. Bring cash if you'd like to donate. The structure is gorgeous - and is such a peaceful space. The website does say to go earlier in the day because they close the site for weddings. We headed there before lunch on a Saturday morning and were able to go in. Later in the day when we drove by (around 2pm), it was closed for a private event. Keep that in mind when planning your day. Thanks
