Missouri State Guide
The stunning scenery in Missouri is reason enough to come. Even the Lewis and Clark Expedition started and ended in Missouri. The lakes, mountains, rolling hills and fantastic trails all help make this a wonderful state to explore. Some of the more adventurous will love the horseback riding paths while the Tiger Woods wannabes will love the pristine golf courses. You may be surprised to find that Missouri is also home to one of the largest urban parks on the globe. Forest Park spans over an impressive 1,300 acres making it even larger than New York’s Central Park. Missouri’s Katy Trail is a converted railroad track that now offers fantastic hiking and biking paths. If you’d rather see what’s underground rather than above make time for the Crystal Cave and Fantastic Caverns. Each provides you with great cave tours. Perhaps you’d rather see what’s way above ground. The St. Louis Gateway Arch was built to honor the 19th century pioneers and it’s one of the most recognized sites in the entire state. It’s nice to know that after a long day of exploring Missouri’s beautiful countryside you’ll be able to relax with an ice-cold beer. Good thing the headquarters for the Anheuser-Busch Brewery is housed in Missouri.
Dolly Parton offers more than just her voice in Missouri. Her Dixie Stampede is a hot ticket item where you’ll be treated to delicious hometown meals, fantastic horse shows and even a few ostrich races. It’s truly an experience of a lifetime. Another great family outing can be found at Silver Dollar City. Make sure you try out the PowderKeg and Tom Sawyer’s Landing. Missouri is also proud to be the home of a Six Flags amusement park. Whether you’re riding the Boss, the Xcalibur or getting soaked at Hurricane Harbor you’ll love the thrills this park provides.
Missouri has many museums that cover a wide variety of interests. You’ll think you’ve stepped into a massive toy store but in reality you’ve entered the world’s largest Toy Museum. The Black World History Museum is definitely worth your time as are the Science Center and Planetarium and Art Museum. Another unique site is the National Bowling Hall of Fame. Hey, even bowling has an interesting history. Missouri has produced many legendary musicians. Visit the American Jazz Museum and get familiar with names like Count Basie, Big Joe Turner and Charlie Parker. Shopping proves to be a unique experience as well. Enter a restored Union Station, walk along Plaza Frontenac, explore Old Munichburg or stroll along Westport Landing. Each of these, plus many more, provide you with wonderful reasons to pull out the credit card.
Mark Twain, a Missouri native, gleaned a lot from this state and you will too. Pick up one of his novels and explore all that this beautiful state has to offer you.
