Missouri is a great state to get outdoors, but it also has a lot of interesting urban sights to see and a lot of roadside oddities that make it one interesting place to visit.

1. Gateway Arch (St Louis)

This 630 foot tall arch is what St Louis is known for. It’s the tallest man made monument in the country and from the top, you’ll get spectacular views of the Mississippi River and downtown St Louis. Allow yourself at least an hour here if you want to go to the top of the arch.

2. City Museum (St Louis)

Located inside a former shoe factory, City Museum is a unique indoor space that’s part playground, part fun house, and part art gallery full of interesting found objects. It has everything from a giant slide to two real airplanes. Allow about 3 hours here to see everything.

3. Forest Park (St Louis)

Forest Park was opened in St Louis in 1876. It’s the sixth most visited urban park in the country. At 1300 acres, it’s home to several museums and a zoo as well as ponds, walking and hiking paths, several restaurants, athletic fields, and more. You could spend an entire day here and not run out of things to do.

4. Silver Dollar City (Branson)

An 1880s style theme park with more than forty rides and attractions. There’s a huge fire station themed play area for kids, plus water rides, roller coasters, and more. Don’t miss the one room schoolhouse, log cabin, and church and the craftsmen demonstrating how things were done in the 1880s. There’s a baker, furniture maker, candy maker, a glass blower, potter, and more. You could easily spend a weekend here if you want to experience everything.

5. St. Louis Zoo (St Louis)

You’ll see insects, big cats, sea lions, polar bears, penguins and puffins at the St Louis Zoo, just to name a few. There’s also a carousel, a train ride, a children’s zoo, and stingray’s to pet. You’ll need about 2 hours here.
