The Discovery Center of Springfield is a great place for kids—they'll love the interactive science exhibits. If you're a sports fan, check out the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, or watch a Springfield Cardinals baseball game if you're in town between April and October.

Fantastic Caverns is the city's most popular attraction, where you'll take an exciting tram ride through an ancient cave and underground river complex. There are plenty of cheap hotels in Springfield that will give you access to all these attractions.
