Two recent empty nesters, ready to share their 34 years of travel and adventures here to help you plan out some trips to Missouri and see everything this awesome state has to offer.

Why is Missouri a Great Place to Visit?

Missouri, nicknamed the "Show-Me State,” offers impressive natural beauty and endless outdoor adventures. The Ozark Mountains, a geological region covering most of the southern half of the state, provide ample opportunities for hiking and camping, along with lake and river activities. The state is a wonderful destination for any generation by serving up a diverse range of attractions and experiences within several major cities and tourist towns including Branson. Branson is famous for its live music and family-friendly attractions.

The culturally rich city of St. Louis, home to the Gateway Arch, Soulard Market, and a host of world-class museums is a must-place to visit for guests of all ages. Additionally, sports enthusiasts can catch a Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium or for those exploring the western side of the state, a Chiefs’ football game in the iconic Arrowhead Stadium of Kansas City. Kansas City has become known for its championship BBQ flavors, legendary Jazz performers, and historical places including the National WWI Memorial.

Be sure to put Missouri on your list of road trips. Come and experience the warm hospitality and a slower pace of life. You will see why this state continues to gain attention as a top destination for families.
