Things To Do
Wonders Of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium
This is the iconic flagship store and original Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Springfield. It’s huge — over 500,000 sq ft of outdoor gear, exhibits, aquariums, and immersive displays — and draws visitors from all over the country, not just local shoppers. You can wander around outdoorsy gear (fishing, hunting, camping, boating), see aquariums and wildlife displays, and really kill time exploring.
TeeTime
On historic Route 66 in Webb City, TeeTime is the Joplin region’s premier entertainment and top-golf destination. Featuring 19 climate-controlled bays, a full sports bar and restaurant, indoor and outdoor dining, patio events, Pickleball, Cornhole, and more. Play. Eat. Drink. Relax. Enjoy!
Joplin Empire Market
local farmers’ and artisan market in downtown Joplin that’s a fun little dive into the community vibe — perfect if you’re in town for a wedding and want something low-key and local to check out. Usually Saturdays from ~10 AM to 2 PM (sometimes to 3 PM) — year-round.
