The Natural State is a marvelous place, isn’t it? We’ve got wonder all around us here. From man-made stunners to breathtaking natural wonders, Arkansas is full of marvels. We’ve collected 14 of them, and you absolutely have to see them all. Because these are located around the state, there’s probably one near you.
Please note, Terra Studios Sculpture Garden and Blanchard Springs Caverns are temporarily closed.
The Arkansas Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the Ozarks, and it is truly spectacular.
Located in Eureka Springs, the Christ of the Ozarks is 65.5 feet tall. It was built atop Magnetic Mountain, and we think it’s really cool, even if its features do lead people to sometimes call it "Our Milk Carton of the Ozarks."

The Arkansas Grand Prairie stretches between the White River and the Arkansas River in the delta. Though most of the rich delta land has been clear cut, which made the Arkansas Grand Prairie less distinctive, it’s still a gorgeous stretch of land and important to Arkansas’s agriculture.
Set in the gorgeous Ouachitas, Garvan Woodland Gardens is where nature meets manmade marvel. The beautifully landscaped gardens are 210 acres of perfection.
Terra Studios has been around since 1975, and they’ve been adding whimsy and wonder to their art park for all those decades.
