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.

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.

Once seated, we did not get service in a timely manner. The three beverages, red sangria, white sangria, and gin and tonic, were not even drinkable. These were some of the worst beverages I have ever had. I am glad we ate prior to arriving. We have had pleasant experiences in the past, but this last Thursday made me not want to come back.

Cool little tour. I've been to a few caves and have also gone caving, but one that is wide enough…read moreto be carted around in was a first. They day we went was on a Sunday after the 4th of July and so we expected it to be a bit crowded, but honestly we had plenty of space. The tour guide went through his spiel, but it was still pretty informative and explained about about the caves of this area. Honestly the tour was not particularly long since you're on their preset schedule being driven around and if you have a chance Carlsbad at the other end of the country is way more impressive, but this is still a cool cave and would be tempted to stop by again if I were to pass by the area. Looking at the other comments, there may be other caves/caverns near by to visit, but still they are all unique in their own way.

The…read moretour was a little pricey (almost $200 for 5 adults), but we all thought it was worth it and we had a great time. We had a fun ride through the cavern with our very knowledgeable tour guide. We took a spin through the gift shop and then a walk through the grounds to the natural spring. It was a beautiful way to spend a few hours!

Visited the aquarium at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO and was really impressed. It's much larger and…read moremore thoughtfully designed than I expected. 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.

So, perhaps I'm a bit biased because we have the coolest Kid Museum at my home in Washington State…read more(Everett, to be precise), but my family found the Museum to be kind of meh.

I love this Springfield park perhaps most of all. I love to trot down here for a good run, and…read moreevery time I do, I feel like I see something new. I see birthday parties; I see families, couples, people walking their dogs; I see LARPers (look it up); I see potlucks; I see high school science projects; I see track teams; I see lone runners. This is a great place to see the Springfield community at their happiest and most relaxed. Not to mention it offers an impressive amount of amenities: a few tennis courts, a full playground, BBQ pits, a sprinking of permament art installations, and a very nice, covered communal area. This is a very old park, and the practicality of it paired with all the old stone work and giant Oak trees makes for a unique place to stop and unwind alone or with your favorite people/pets. A few other reasons why Phelps rocks: it's in a gorgeous, well-established neighborhood full of interesting and well-maintaned forever homes and it's right next to the beloved art museum. It also has a righteously awesome butterfly garden (you'll see it if you look in the direction of the museum from the park itself), and walking through it in the summer is legitimately like walking in a dream. It's quite lovely. One word of advice I can provide is that this park is also historically a not-so-good place to visit after nightfall, as most Springfield parks are. Get your recreational fix in before sunset and call it a day, unless you're with a group.

We haven't tried it though. Can't pull ourselves away from the batting cages!

Cryotherapy, warming bed (I don't know the technical term), relaxation area, red light therapy, brain tapping, body sculpting... all the very latest equipment. I can't even believe this is available in Springfield.! Seriously... your physical, mental, and even emotional well-being can find a huge boost with a visit here. I figure my membership will be like a counselor, gym/personal trainer, spa, and sorts therapy all in one place ... and I will actually enjoy it!
