 Springfield bus terminal by mrclay2000 Springfield has a very capable and efficient fleet of buses to serve the city and intercity routes. Buses run from 6 am until midnight 365 days a year, with fares no higher than 50 cents for general passenger traffic. The service includes special curb-to-curb transit for disabled passengers (called the "paratransit" service), but this must be arranged at least one day in advance (fares are $1.50 per ride).

by Boozoo However you get there (I drove down I-44), the show is at the fairgrounds, but you can get quite a cornucopia of cars to look at from late afternoon to late evening by just hanging around the local motel parking lots. You'll see people lining the streets on Saturday night to watch the cool cars cruising all evening. in a hammered hot rod, of course! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

There is a small airport in Springfield. I flew out of there in November of 2000. It is not large but is clean and efficient and had connection to Dallas where I transferred planes. I usually drive to Springfield from Kansas so I can use my car to get around. If you get a map of Springfield from any hotel it will show you closest route to Bass Pro Shop. Do not follow the signs to Bass Pro shop if you can avoid it. The city of Springfield posts the signs so you drive through the long route and see all the down town businesses.

 Springfield by crdoc Springfield is surrounded by Highways. Remember these and the center lines and you got it made. To the north, at the 2800 North block, you have Interstate-44. It angles down and covers some of the west side. To the east, at the 3100 block east, you will find U.S. 65. To the south, at about the 3800 block south, you will find James River Freeway, or 60. It curves up to the west, and after new construction, now connects with Interstate 44. If you will notice, aside from the James River Freeway being 3800 block south, all highways are around the 3000 block from the center axis'. The center axis's of Springfield are roughly; Chestnut expressway, running east to west, connecting to west part of I-44, and U.S.65. And, Campbell sreet, running north and south. Campbell, north of Chestnut expressway, is one way, going north, till you hit Commercial street, then it breaks up into a small two way streets. Some not connected. Campbell street, south of Chestnut Expressway, is still a one way going north, until Grand street. Then its a two way, two lane until Sunshine street. Then it goes all the way south, crosses James River Freeway, and turns into Highway160. Tourist Information Center Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomePhone: 1-417-881-5300

For the size of town it's is, there's nothing to do there! Very boring place. It reminds me of a suburb of a big city where you have to drive miles and miles for something to do. The people are okay but only entertainment mainly is for drinkers. If you don't fish or hunt you have nothing to do there. I have always wonder how it grown to the size it is without having some kind entertainment. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Traffic snarl took 10 minutes to go 2 blocks by BruceDunning Around the city many streets get backed up with local traffic. A main artery being Hwy 65 leads to Branson and can get quite busy in summer. There seems to be constant road work also that impedes the flow of traffic. One example is Hwy 13 at US 44. This intersection has been under various constructions for at least three years that I am aware of. Theme: Car/Motor Home

 me and a polarbear by Moustique The biggest tourist attraction in Springfield is that it has the largest Brass Pro Shop in the world. Even if you are not a hunter or fisherman you must at least go in to see. There is a lot interesting stuff to see. They have many times of stuffed animals (i mean used to be alive and now they are stuffed). They also have some live animals like turtles, huge fish, and ducks. There is an aquarium downstairs, check the times and you watch them feed the fish. Dont forget to eat at the restaurant Hemingways if you like seafood (It is a little pricey). They now have the widlife museum which is great for kids Leave a Comment Address: 1935 S.

 American National Fish & Wildlife Museum by mrclay2000 Due northeast of the Bass Pro Shops in the same corner, you'll find the newly-opened American National Fish and Wildlife Museum, whose outer and inner decor copies but complements the very best of the outdoor emporium. Stuffed animals and live animals (160 species of the latter) fill this 92,000 sq foot facility, but viewing the panorama won't be cheap. Open seven days a week, 9am to 8pm Memorial Day through Labor Day, and 9am to 6pm all other days but Christmas, adults will pay $11.25, children 4-11 $7.25, Seniors $9.25, the same price even for students and the military.

 Christ Episcopal Church by mrclay2000 Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the sanctuary of the Christ Episcopal Church first saw its worshipping congregation in this building on New Year's Eve, 1870. The local chapter had existed since 1859. Apart from the few additions and enlargements to the church overall, the original nave stands much today as it appeared when first constructed.

If you have a bit of spirit, this site will impact you. It is a driving tour through the battlefield area near Springfield, called Wilson's Creek. It was a brutal battle and the outcome began to swing for the north here. The site is 10 miles SW of town and was fought in August 1861. There were about 2,500 killed in the battle here. Gen Lyon, the leader of the Union troops was killed also. The fight was over trying to make Missouri a Union State, but Gen Price, a band leading a Confederate state guard, thought differently. The Union had 7,000 men, and South 11,000 assembled. The battle went back and forth until the Union ran low on ammo and retreated to Springfield.
