This is breathtaking and beautiful. The detail and magnitude is unreal. It's a really picturesque drive to the chapel and very worth the trip. It's only about an hour from Branson, so an easy stop if your in the area.

Thorncrown Chapel is outside Eureka Springs in a wooded area off of highway 62. The entrance comes pretty quick and is located in a turn on highway 62, so maybe slow it down and keep your eyes open. It seemed easier to spot the entrance when headed in the north/west direction out of Eureka springs on 62, it being on the right just entering a turn. The entrance road seems to continue in that direction by just veering to the right. The other direction (south east off highway 62, towards Eureka Springs) may be harder to spot, as it's in the middle of the turn (on your left). You also kind of need to make a U turn entering the the entrance road from that direction. The entrance road itself is kind of narrow and hilly as it runs into the woods to the parking area. There's a decent sized parking area that is free to park as you visit. The chapel itself is a very short walk on a path from the parking area. You first pass another smaller building on the right, that I think was an office, as you walk to the chapel. I do not remember seeing any restrooms on site, (but could be wrong) so it's probably a good idea to think about that before you visit, just to be on the safe side. Thorncrown Chapel itself is a really nice Chapel constructed with stone, a lot of wood and glass. It's not overly large in size, but is fairly tall. It has a really nice design. They do not charge an entrance fee to visit. But they do ask that you consider making a donation to help offset the costs to maintain the site. They also ask that you only take pictures of the inside of the chapel, from being seated in one of the pews. I moved to a different pew to give me different angles and views for the pictures that I snapped. They also ask that you bring no food or drink into the chapel. It was very quiet and serene and beautiful. It is a really nice place. Very much worth a visit.

It looks just like all the photos I have seen of it and plus. To enter there is a gate off the highway and then a curvy road up until the parking lot where you can go down to the Worship Center or walk to the west to get on the path leading to the Chapel- past thr office. The path is made of rock and you are surrounded in the Spring with bright green forest, standing rock walls and the splash of colors from the flowers. Thorncrown quietly stands in front of you and pulls your eyes to it. The doors are heavy but you are given an open view of the whole floor including a wonderful view out of the back where the pastor stands. The Chapel even with coming and going visitors is quiet, not too busy at the moment we were there and invites you to take a moment for introspection while enjoying God's glorious creation as you sit in the protection of the walls. I so very much would love to return when there is a sermon ongoing and also when it is dark outside to see all the crosses slowly unfold from the shadows to shine forth their light onto you as a light unto the world.

Most beautiful architecture. Free to visit and donations appreciated. Couldn't see it from the parking lot but just a short walk down a nice path and it's beauty will pop out as you get closer. Photos don't do it justice. The glass is amazingly crystal clear! I wish my windows at home were like that!

Visited the old (built 1980) and the new (built 1986). It started to rain as we were walking toward the Chapel, and I took it to mean God would like it if I took my time to enjoy Him, so we stayed awhile. Quiet, serene, peaceful, close to nature, it faces a woodland with shelf rocks and treetops. I enjoyed several minutes to pray privately, and there are copies of the Bible around to read if you like (try Psalms 6 and 8 - very appropriate!). You'll receive a handout when you first come in, explaining the story of the Chapel. They, of course, accept donations. Services on Sunday are offered at 9am and 11am.

We love visiting here! Upon arriving, the sense of serenity is undeniable and once you get inside, you cannot help but to feel completely at peace. The structure and engineering is wonderful and the feeling of being inside and outside all at the same time is amazing. With a short moment of silence and meditation to get centered, the level of spirituality is overwhelming and so wonderful!

As a wedding photographer, it's always such a joy to get to photograph a wedding at such a beautiful venue. Any time I've been at Thorncrown it's been wonderful!

I can't say anything other than...wow! It's a beautiful chapel with all the windows and surrounding woods. Most importantly though, you can really feel the spirit of the Lord working in this place! It's a very spiritual experience!

A very beautiful and Serene setting to this fantastically designed chapel. They have souvenir pictures you can purchase and donations are accepted!

This steel and glass church is beautiful. It's in such a pretty location too. Same architect who designed the Mildred B Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista. Worth a stop to see and experience it. It's breathtaking.

Thorncrown Chapel is easily on of the most incredible wedding venues I have ever shot at, period! The light inside the building is like no other and you don't even need to bring any florals or decorations, it's all there! I personally had a super easy time communicating with the staff there, they were all really nice to work with during the wedding.

Iconic, must-visit location on Arkansas/Eureka springs tour. With other reviews covering up the features, I shall assist on planning on visiting this place. Its open until sunset and suggested to visit early sunrise timing or before twilight to capture scenic photos ,DSLR recommended. Maximum time can be spent is 1hr and there's another hidden church next to parking lot and we noticed people missing same. Do call up before visiting as the church can be restricted or closed to private events like wedding(During our trip, we planned on a weekday so that its open). Easily reachable from downtown/any hotels from Eureka springs in less than 30mins. Have a nice trip

Loved it!!! Wood and glass chapel. It is so beautiful . It is free . You can only go when there is nothing going on in the Chapel.

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. We had our dogs with us so my husband had me go in alone. I walked in, so beautiful and a calming music played. I sat down and closed my eyes. There was a quiet calm that came over me. I went out to my husband and told him to go in. Just feel the zen, I told him. It didn’t cost anything when we visited but there is a place for donations. We visited in late September 2023
