Beautiful place right outside St. James. Contains a fish hatchery where you can feed the trout, tour the museums, walk along the river, or take selfies at beautiful spring and waterfalls. All for a small entry fee!
Aussies this one is for you! Sonic is the number one spot for drinks, they have a large selection of slushies, icecream, shakes, smoothies, and more...also if you're hungry try some of their mozzarella sticks.
You can test six of Megan's hometown wines at this local winery. Megan's favorites are White School House, Peach, and Blackberry.
Wine not your thing? Check out Public House Brewery, next to the winery to try some local beers and enjoy a nice meal
A second winery in town with great wines, also a nice place to try for lunch
For those looking for a fancier meal in St. James
Perhaps Megan's favorite state park, visit this historic castle, walk along the spring, explore the natural bridge (a collapsed cave), and possibly see otters, deer, and turkeys.
One of the countries top zoos and the entry is free!
Check out Missouri's very own National Monument, The Gateway Arch. Here you can visit the museum under the arch and even take an elevator tour up to the 630 ft top.
Explore a museum unlike any other. This museum is essentially a giant playground for the whole family. It features a huge indoor slide, loads of tunnels to explore, even a Ferris wheel on the roof. The museum is inside an old shoe factory and the interactive exhibits are made from architectural and industrial objects.
The Lake of the Ozarks (Missouri's largest reservoir) is a great place to camp, rent a log cabin, rent a boat, go shopping, swim in the lake , go fishing, or just take a hike to see Missouri's wildlife.
Great spot for breakfast all day
