Visit Springfield, Missouri

Springfield, Missouri—the city of culture, hospitality, discovery, and creativity. The city of the Ozarks. Where the pulse of a city meets the exhale of the outdoors, Springfield is a place with true heart. As summer settles into the Ozarks and the days stretch long into warm golden evenings, our city invites you to experience an authentic destination where adventure, connection, and discovery come naturally.

Maybe you want to wander the local city scene, cooling off with an iced coffee or craft cocktail between visits to local shops, patios, breweries, live music venues, and summer festivals. Or perhaps you're looking for wide-open moments—floating the James River beneath sunny skies, hiking or biking scenic lakefront trails, exploring the underground wonder of our many caves, or spending the day on the water at one of the Ozarks’ beautiful lakes and rivers. Maybe you're cruising through on our Mother Road, Route 66, windows down and summer playlists on, discovering roadside gems along the way.

Whatever calls you to Springfield this season, we’re excited to show you our city. Because hidden gems are meant to be found—and summer is the perfect time to discover them.
