Springfield, Missouri is in the heart of the Ozarks and is a must-stop! In fact, I would plan on staying for several days in Springfield because there is so much to do and see. Whatever brings you to the “Show-Me State,” be sure to Stop in Springfield because it is filled with unique, impressive, and memorable attractions, from the Ozarks’ natural beauty to the vibrancy of a metropolitan city. I was totally unaware of how much Springfield has to offer, and I regret that I have driven right through this city many times while on road trips. I will not make that mistake again.
Springfield, Missouri, the birthplace of Route 66, is steeped in history that predates even the Civil War. It has a rich tapestry of local history that will captivate all ages. The city has a wealth of interactive museums that bring history to life. While it’s an outdoor lover’s dream, plenty of places also bring nature indoors—for example, the countless taxidermy and water features found at the original Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. Most of Springfield’s businesses are locally owned and operated by people who love and live in the Missouri Ozarks.
