Start by getting shuttled up the hill. Amazing place great homemade crafts and art. Found iron work unique crochet hat and bowl and beautiful pottery also some amazing homemade jewelry. Purchased a broom. Had a delicious ginger cookie and coffee. An amazing print shop it’s a must see. This place has amazing people with lots of talent! Worth the $15 to get in! And don’t miss the manic show and music! I can go on and on about this place!

We enjoyed Ozark Folk Center, I think if we went on the weekend there would be much more going on. However we really enjoyed it. All of the craftsmen are individual business owners so be sure to patronize them. I loved the log cabin with the rock gardens and root cellar. The restaurant wasn’t open and a few other areas weren’t either. Blacksmithing, broom making, stained glass, knife making, Pottery making, printing press, hand bows, painting, herbalist, live bluegrass music, etc, all very interesting. I will probably go back later in the week when there’s a little more action but we still saw a lot. If you show them your Blanchard Springs Cavern ticket you get a discount! I think it save us $4 each!

Wonderful visit and we really enjoyed speaking with many of the artisans. We learned so much. My personal favorites were glass art, apothecary, copper and blacksmith. The gentleman in knife shop had some fun stories too. Great music as well.

This place is a beautiful facility with old time feels. Shops that show you trade skills back in the day, and also you can purchase the items they make. They have blue grass and folk being performed thru the day. The theater has local talent and also some famous bluegrass bands that come in. Staff are always friendly. This is very worthwhile to visit if your in the area. Tickets are great price too and they offer yearly pass for an option too.

Awesome staff!! Great learning experience! Toe tapping music. The group Harmony was playing when we arrived and after their set they visited with us for 20 mins of their break. Great folks. Very cool crafts. Plan on spending money when you see what they are making. We spent about 4 hours looking around. Great fun and entertainment. Will return soon.

We went for the banjo and fiddle competition. FYI, parking is in a lower lot with shuttle service up the hill. Good gift store and the craft village seems worth a visit. Due to the distance from literally everything, we learned we need to camp/lodge there for festivals!

Hello World, My wife and I have visited a couple of times this summer and the center is great. I've got some personal highlights and suggestions for you all.

Stay in the cabins if you can, the pool is one one of the best around and I had it to myself every time I walked over. It's very nice.

The Skillet Restaurant is good, we loved the salad bar and country vinagrette and the best veggies I've seen lately. Delish.

Support Rocky! He is very cool, Learn who Willard the Wizard was.

Rocky Clements's magic show is the best! I had no idea and almost skipped his shop but he and it ended up my favorite! His descriptions and educational re-enactment of old timey illusionists are "magic." See what I did there.

Let's not forget the wonderful music from one and all.

Authentic Unlimited, The Waddington Brothers were stunningly talented. And 5 South is fun. Go visit.
