DAY 3 Spelunking and train rides
Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy Speech Language Therapy
On your final day of vacation, start with a visit to Mud Street Café , a favorite morning spot serving traditional breakfast fare, award- winning coffee and bakery delights in an old-fashioned room below street level. From here, your family can look forward to another cave tour at Cosmic Cavern , just 25 minutes away. This spelunking experience will take you through beautiful limestone formations and two underground lakes, where blind cave trout were discovered. The cave stays at a comfortable 64 degrees year- round, making it one of the warmest in the Ozarks. After your time underground, enjoy the outdoors on another favorite outing in town, especially for families with young children: an excursion train ride through the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Railway . Step back in time on a 1940s diesel locomotive and enjoy a 1-hour ride narrated by the conductor. There are also options for non-narrated rides on their dining cars to enjoy lunch or dinner along the way. If you have extra time or want to extend your stay, nearby Beaver Lake offers endless outdoor adventures for the whole family. The area boasts 480 miles of shoreline, complete with swimming beaches, a marina for boat rentals, scenic hiking trails and even a diving park. Paddleboards and kayaks are available from local outfitters. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, take your family vacation to new heights by ziplining through the stunning Ozark Mountains for a bird’s-eye view! Eureka Springs blends adventure, charm and history, offering unforgettable memories, whether your family chooses to visit over Spring Break or anytime during the year. Happy exploring!
