Caves, critters & fun: A proper family break
Unique, memorable, educational, and just utterly stunning: Springfield, Missouri, is quite simply one of THE most fun activity-filled family getaways you can go on!
For starters, there are two magical cave experiences to choose from: The Fantastic Caverns are so huge, you take a tour on a tram to see them! Stalagmites & stalactites, tranquil underground lakes, stunning limestone formations & ancient cave structures - you get to see so much, and all without getting tired feet! For a more traditional, but no less stunning underground adventure, head to the utterly magical Crystal Cave, where you can walk the trails with a professional guide.
Another "must" for families is the Johnny Morris Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium. This massive aquarium features several tunnels that allow you to get up close & personal to over 35,000 fantastic marine species! Also on your list should be the magical Pythian Castle. This is a proper castle full of fascinating artefacts and captivating stories that transport visitors back in time. Other family favorites are Dickerson Park Zoo and the enchanting Sequiota Park. Mention must also go to the totally Insta-worthy World's Largest Fork.
For your stay, we recommend La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springfield South. This friendly hotel offers large, comfortable family rooms, set in a location that is convenient for attractions like the Aquarium and Pythian Castle, as well as the delights of Downtown Springfield. Moreover, it has a nice pool, just perfect to cool off in after a long day of exploring!
