    Great exhibitions, beautiful building, nice people. And it is free! Yelp is complaining that my review is to short, but many words don't express that things are better, so I refuse. Just go there!

    Not as big as the ones we had back home in San Diego, but nice for a town as small as Springfield.

    I adore hands-on museums and STEM/STEAM centers. I've worked at one and hope to get back into the…read morefield after finishing my degree. If it wasn't so far from home, I would absolutely wok at the Discovery Center! The place is amazing. There are so many engaging exhibits that put STEM principles right into your hands. I found myself interacting with an exhibit and going, "Oh! This is just like this idea we went over in physics/chemistry/engineering/science class!" Rather than being put together like a giant playplace, like some museums, the STEM learning areas were thoughtfully constructed with specific leaning outcomes in mind. The place does a LOT with its budget. (which, judging by the catalogue of posters taped up to fill blank wall space, needs some more $$$! Get these guys a grant!) I don't remember the name, but the community role play area was very cute, too. One of the people I visited with works in news and she got a kick out of it. During our visit, this was the area most populated by kids. There were interactives and objects all over the place, from doctor tools to puppets, that were very neatly stored when not in use. But the highlight of our visit had to be the staff. One staff member in particular, a young man named Hunter, noticed my group's interest in the exhibits, and took the time to show us particularly cool uses. He showed us the Tesla coil and told us about the man it was named after; I got to hold a hissing cockroach while my friends made faces; he turned on the Van der Graaf and explained how it worked; and informed us of the amazing grape project growing on the roof. His customer service was OUTSTANDING, all because of our enthusiasm towards learning. If you have a kid who's interested in science, or you're an adult who remembers how to have fun, visit the Discovery Center. At $12 per person, you absolutely will not regret it.

All visual indications it looks like open public parking . We were told the lot was open for community engagement parking . There is no sign indicating any pay per hr parking or no signs stating no parking after 5 pm . There are no signs indicating anything which are visible at night . Our car was towed within minutes . No one in the adjacent businesses could provide any information . Springfield is a very dangerous city with homeless population abound at night . We felt very unsafe and felt our safety was at risk standing helpless on the street . Do not patronize this establishment. No one answered any of our calls . There was no telephone numbers listed any where for emergencies or questions . Safety is there least priority and taking advantage of out of town visitors.

    Wow! This seems to be an underappreciated gem for sports fans!! A two-story building filled with…read morememorabilia and tributes to the greatest athletes born in Missouri or who played in Missouri. Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Auto Racing, Collegiate and Pro Sports, even some high school sports and sport writers, broadcasters, etc. The St. Louis Browns, KC Royals, St Louis Cardinals and more. Anyone interested in sports will find displays of interest. Signed balls and jerseys, rare photographs, plaques and statues, programs and other great empheria. Some interactive exhibits, too! Push the wall button and watch Whitey Herzog come alive and give the team a pep talk. Watch unique sports videos! I went on an overcast Tuesday afternoon and was the only visitor. I felt like a kid in a candy store! Browsed for an hour plus, then a stroll thru a great outdoor statue garden. Well worth a visit!!

    This was my 3rd trip to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and my wife's first. Surprisingly, we…read morepractically had the place to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. That just gave us more time to take in the many displays on Missouri sports (at a very reasonable price of just $5 per adult). You will find exhibits on many different sports, with baseball, football, and basketball having the greatest emphasis, but there's also smaller displays on sports such as NASCAR, tennis, horse racing, and branches of sports such as broadcasting, coaching, officiating, and sports medicine. And since we were able to take in a lot of information found there, we were very surprised to see people with ties to our high schools' (from which we graduated 10+ years prior) sports teams in the hall. The Hall of Fame was definitely the highlight of our trip to Springfield, and if you're a fan of any of Missouri's 5 pro sports teams or its college teams, it just may be the highlight of yours too.
