Top FIVE winter things to do in Eureka Springs
Take a Haunting (and indoor) Ghost Tour

This all-indoor tour is perfect for winter days and guaranteed to give you a chill.
Big Cats Love Cold Weather

Go Underground in Cosmic Cavern
While winter storms may rage above, the temperature underground remains a steady 64 degrees. This makes Cosmic Cavern the perfect Ozarks winter attraction.
