Things To Do

What to do in Missouri this Spring

The midwestern United States isn’t often thought of as a desirable travel destination, but this is where most people are wrong. Here you’ll find Missouri, a state that is home to vibrant cities, natural wonders, and everything in between. During your time here, be sure to visit these four popular Missouri destinations: Saint Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Saint Charles. Each of these locations has something new and exciting to offer, no matter what your interests are. Before anything else, start planning your trip by booking a room in one of the state’s many affordable hotels.

Saint Louis

The city of Saint Louis should be the first priority on your Missouri getaway. It is the state’s most popular destination for many reasons, including the iconic Gateway Arch. This 630-foot monument built in the 1960’s symbolizes America’s westward expansion. Buy a ticket to travel up the arch for amazing views of the entire city. Other reasons to visit St. Louis include Forest Park, City Museum, Saint Louis Zoo, and Missouri Botanical Garden. With all this sightseeing, you’ll need a comfortable place to sleep each night. Consider booking a room in one of these budget-friendly Saint Louis hotels.

Kansas City

A bustling city known for its tasty barbecue and lively jazz music, Kansas City has so much to offer. Some of the most popular things to do here are shopping at Country Club Plaza, visiting Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Liberty Memorial, or taking the family to Kansas City Zoo. Other top attractions include Boulevard Brewing Company, Oceans of Fun Water Park, Worlds of Fun Amusement Park, and Crown Center. If you’re having trouble finding a cheap place to stay, look no further. These Kansas City hotels are reasonably priced and will keep you more than comfortable during your time here.

Springfield

Interested in history? Traveling with family? Looking for a romantic evening? Then head to Springfield, a Missouri city that offers activities and sightseeing for every kind of traveler. History buffs should spend the day touring NRA National Sporting Arms Museum, Springfield Art Museum, and Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. If you’re traveling with young ones, take them to Dickerson Park Zoo, Discovery Center of Springfield, or Glowgolf, which is an indoor glow-in-the-dark miniature golf experience that will surely keep them entertained. The best part about this city? There are tons of cheap Springfield hotels to choose from near these sites and more.

Saint Charles

Last but not least, Saint Charles is the perfect Missouri destination to wind down, relax, and escape the stresses of everyday life. First on your list of things to do here should be exploring the downtown area. This is not your typical downtown – it is charming, simple, and quiet. It is ideal for tourists wanting to experience Saint Charles at its best because it is home to the city’s oldest buildings, including homes, restaurants, bars, and government facilities. Check out these Saint Charles hotels that won’t break the bank to start planning your stress-free getaway.
