Question

Hi Mamas!  Anyone been to Springfield, MO?Hi Mamas! Anyone been to Springfield, MO? Headed there this week for my husbands work training. Anything we should do? Anything I should do with our son (3 years old)? Thanks in advance!  

Answer 1

From Springfield‍♀️ the wonders of wildlife museum (attached to bass pro) is awesome. There are 2 sides. one side is an aquarium and one side is a lot of taxidermy but there are live penguins on that side so that’s always fun for littles. The discovery center downtown is also good for littles. kind of like our children’s museum. Downtown Springfield has quite a few microbreweries that are cool. Shameless plug for my brothers brewery. Lost Signal. best beers and bbq in town for sure! If the weather is nice there are quite a few cool parks. there’s a butterfly house at Nathaniel Greene park. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

@performance0 sure thing! Lost Signal is closed on Mondays but open all other days of the week! I also forgot to mention the Dickerson Park zoo. One of the few zoos that has elephants so that’s pretty cool. best to go only if it’s nice out thought.  

Answer 2

It's close to Branson. The Bass Pro there is the original and huge

Answer 3

I went to college there. Bass Pro is fun to walk around, I think they still have an alligator and fish tanks. I agree with going to Branson. They’d have more to do for younger kids

See if they have a MyGym or something and sign up for a free class

Answer 4

Bass Pro! Not only is the stores it self fun to walk around but they also have Wonders of Wildlife which is museum and aquarium. My parents live in Springfield and we go every time we visit. There is a BBQ palace across the street - Whole Hog Cafe - that is delicious. There is also Dickersons Family Zoo that is nice. Branson is 30-40 minutes away and has a lot of fun things to do. Promised Land Zoo is one of our faves. They also have a train ride that is fun if you have a train lover.
