Family Friendly Fun in Eureka Springs: Underground and in the Air (Part 2)

posted Jun 02nd by Faryl Kaye | , , ,

There is a whole world awaiting visitors to discover – Underground Eureka! Both history and gentle adventure, this can be a fun family activity. Daily tours will take you under downtown buildings and sidewalks to see what once was the main floor and street level, long since build over to get away from all the mud that filled the streets. Lots of history and exploring of passageways. Mud Street Cafe is one example you may already have seen. Once a first floor location, it is now at basement level. Main Street became known as Mud Street when erosion took over the town, and the mud flowed freely filling Main & Spring Streets. Now it’s a great breakfast and lunch spot, with wonderful coffee and great atmosphere.
