The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas is recognized as “America’s #1 Attended Outdoor Drama” by the Institute of Outdoor Theatre. Set against the breathtaking beauty of the Ozark Mountains, this inspiring production invites you to experience The Greatest Story Ever Told — the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ — in a way that is powerful, moving, and truly unforgettable.

The Play runs from Easter weekend, the first weekend in May, and continues on Memorial Day Weekend through the first two weeks of November. Whether you are planning a family trip, church outing, or group tour, this is an experience you will never forget. 

But the Play is only the beginning.

The 667-acre property is home to inspiring attractions including the iconic Christ of the Ozarks, the immersive Holy Land Tour, the full-scale Moses' Tabernacle in the Wilderness, a section of the historic Berlin Wall, the Church in the Grove, the Bible Museum, the History Museum, the Sacred Arts Museum, Noah’s Ark Park Petting Zoo, and 20 miles of scenic hiking and mountain biking trails. Many of these attractions are open year-round, making the Passion Play a destination in every season.

During the holidays, guests can also enjoy a spectacular Christmas Light Display and the beloved Christmas Snow Village, open from Thanksgiving night through New Year’s Day.

Performed in a stunning outdoor amphitheater, The Great Passion Play brings the final days of Jesus Christ to life with a multi-level set, dramatic lighting and sound effects, live animals, and a cast of more than 150 Biblically costumed actors. Since 1968, this epic production has inspired millions in the heart of the Ozarks.

The Holy Land Tour is unlike anything you have experienced before. Walk through a life-sized replica of Jerusalem’s Eastern Gate into an authentic marketplace setting. Explore cisterns, sheep pens, guard towers, and a full-scale replica of the Tabernacle. Tours operate from 11:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on performance days and at 2:00 p.m. on non-performance days (excluding Sundays) with advanced reservation. Tickets may be used over two consecutive days for both the Play and the Holy Land Tour, allowing you to fully explore the grounds.

The Great Passion Play is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible (EIN: 71-0387411). Admission to the Bible Museum and Sacred Arts Museum is free, with donations gratefully accepted. The Gift Shop and Bible Museum are open daily except Sunday.
