If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would! The staff here are extremely rude and…read moreunprofessional. We had just pulled barely inside the gate when a woman stopped us with her car. Her very first words were, "Why are you here?" -- no greeting, no courtesy, just instant hostility. We were only there to take a quick photo of the outside and look at the grounds, as we were considering renting the venue for a wedding. We're from out of town and were in the area just for the weekend, but she immediately accused us of trespassing instead of simply asking what we needed. To make things worse, she blocked the driveway so we couldn't turn around properly, forcing us to back through the grass rather than letting us move forward a couple of feet to the wider part of the drive. I'm also quite sure her behavior was influenced by my alternative haircut and color, which made the experience feel even more judgmental and discriminatory. We will never come back here or recommend this place to anyone.

We went on the history tour, but it was disappointing. The castle itself is interesting and it was…read moreinteresting to see the interior of the building. The tour guide did his best, but his script was rather mediocre. His presentation was repetitive and I had a hard time hearing him over the sounds of the air conditioning. You were not allowed to take photographs unless you requested permission prior to taking each one you wanted. The tour opened with a short video which could have been interesting except the narrator was unintelligible. I was able to decipher about 10 words during the 6 minute film. There are a lot of stairs on the tour (no elevator) so this would not be a good tour for anyone with mobility issues.

Parking is easy on the street. They're open Wednesday through Sunday, 4-11pm. Flat fee entry gets you credits all night. Pinball is still metered. But as long as they keep their pins running well I'll keep saving up quarters all year long just to bring them back to Springfield for family Christmas. Adults, the kids are alright. Kids, you're touching treasures. We like their shirts. They've got a print "Ugly Christmas Sweater" design right now that I just wish was actually in knit. Epic.

Why would I want to pull out my phone during the movie? And honestly, part of the fun at the Alamo was getting to put your order up and click the button! On top of this, the prices are pretty ridiculous. One shot is $10 and one mixed drink is $15. And now, they have added a tab that if you don't close 20 minutes after the movie, they take more money. I'm disappointed a favorite place of mine has changed like this.

The exhibits are immersive and well-themed, moving from local Ozark freshwater habitats to larger ocean environments, with clear educational signage throughout. The underwater tunnels and shipwreck exhibit were highlights, and the freshwater sections featuring native fish species were especially interesting. You can tell there's a strong conservation focus behind the displays, not just entertainment. Plan to spend a couple of hours to see everything comfortably. It's well maintained, clean, and suitable for both adults and kids. Definitely worth the stop if you're in Springfield or passing through.

The visitor center staff were very friendly and informed us of the story and craft time at 10:00. She also gave us a scavenger hunt to do around the lake that my kids really enjoyed. Each part of the scavenger hunt was labeled clearly with numbers on signs. At the end they gifted us a little drawstring bag as the prize for completing the hunt. Overall it's a well thought out and beautiful botanical garden with several different gardens, treepods and playgrounds for kids to play in, and colorful sculptures like a caterpillar and a butterfly topiary. Story time was lovely with a book and paper craft for the kids. They have lots of programming and events. I would love to return someday in the spring when the flowers are all blooming, the Japanese garden is open , and when the tram is running.
