I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I've worked in the entertainment industry for much of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
The charmingly irresistible town of Eureka Springs is located in the heart of the Ozarks and offers plenty of options for visitors to see and do. With its fine dining options, art galleries, shops, spas, and outdoor activity options, a visit here will leave you wanting to come back for more! Whether or not you have visited Eureka Springs in the past, a unique and memorable way to get a taste is by taking a tram ride around town.
Eureka Springs Transit offers open-air history tram tours.
The tour lasts 85-minutes and is narrated by a knowledgeable tour guide. Along the route, the tram will make two stops - one at the 1886 Crescent Hotel and the second at Grotto Spring. Both places are important to the history of the town.

The tram tour will give you a great taste of what this quaint town has to offer!
The trolley runs along several fixed routes and visitors can buy an all-day pass that allows them to hop-on and hop-off at any trolley stop. If you choose this option, you can take the route that stops at 65 1/2-foot Christ of the Ozarks!
The impressive Thorncrown Chapel is another stop on one of the trolley routes.
Located in the woods on the outskirts of town, this unique chapel rises high at 48-feet tall and is built using 6,000 square feet of glass windows. You will definitely want to stop here!
What better way to see as much as you can in a short period of time than on a tram or trolley? It's a great way to learn about the town and explore.
Whether you take a tram or trolley, the routes begin and end at the Eureka Transit Welcome Center. Touring this way is always a great option especially if you have limited time here and it will give you ideas for restaurants, shops, and historical spots to visit. It is truly a delightful way to see the charming town of Eureka Springs!
