The Obligatory DisclaimerWhile the City of Eureka Springs is quick to plug Underground Eureka in their promotional tourism materials, it may be best if you do not attempt to actually enter any of the tunnels...yet! These types of urban underground caverns can be dangerous. They are very old and not necessarily designed or maintained for human exploration. It is very possible that you could get injured or lost. A feasability study is currently being prepared at the request of the city to determine the safety and viability of Underground Eureka as a tourism offering. So, until they have concluded their findings... You can safely catch a glimpse of the Underground at the Grand Hall in the basement of the Grand Central Hotel, the oldest hotel in Eureka Springs. You can also read more about it at the historic plaque on Main Street. And while you are cruising "Mud" Street, stop in at the basement level Mud Street Cafe and grab yourself a latte. The Eureka Underground is right behind those beautiful stained glass windows. I'm hoping that this page can serve as something of a disclaimer. So for the record, I must state very clearly that I do not endorse or recommend entering any of the Eureka Springs Underground tunnels.
