It's not too far away from the rest of the city, so go ahead and take a drive out to see this big Jesus statue. It's interesting to see and also the place where it is has a good view from a short distance of Eureka Springs and the Crescent Hotel. more

On our day trip to Eureka Springs, AR, we took the time to visit this statue, and it was not a waste of time. It is very impressive, situated in a beautiful area overlooking the immense forest area of the Ozarks, and I imagine in the fall with the colored foliage, it would be quite spectacular. Even if you don't... more

Face it, this thing looks like a milk carton with a head. It's not artistic. The only thing halfway interesting is its size. Eureka Springs is a lovely place to go, with so many talented artists. Why spend your time on such schlock when you can go into just about any shop downtown and see REAL art? Christ of the... more

While the concept is great, and it looks ok from far away, the dimensions of the statue take away from my enjoyment. I'm a bit of a stickler on details, and the terrible scale of this statue makes it look cheesy. The size of the head, hands, etc, do not fit the body. It makes it look like a cartoon... more

I have been to see Christ of the Ozarks several times. It is a huge statue (over 7 stories, or 70 feet - not 700 as some have indicated). The very size of the statue reminds one of how small we are in the sight of God, and yet one is also reminded of just how much God loves each... more

It's hard to find words for the Christ of the Ozarks Statue. It's an experience you don't want to miss while in Eureka Springs. Even if you choose not to watch the Great Passion Play or go on the Holy Land Tour, you can still drive to the Christ of the Ozarks and take a walk of reflection, free of... more

Great Kodak moment agreed. For best lighting, go in the afternoon as the statue faces west and will catch the afternoon sun better. Getting the whole statue in shouldn't be a problem for most cameras. Park's open free all the time they said. Only thing is, late afternoon/early evening you'll be kinda pressed to find parking as the Passion Play... more
