I know this one is a little crazy, but visiting Nudist Park may be just what you need if you are looking for an adventure. There are several different parks you can see, this includes Forty Acre Club and Natural Pines Resort.
Visit a National Park
Missouri features one of the United States National Parks, Saint Louis Arch. Allowing you to visit a national park without ever having to leave the state! While here, be sure to take the tram to the top of the Arch. It is a fantastic experience you won’t want to miss.
Visit a Theme Park
Attend a Baseball Game
Missouri has some of the best Theme Parks that, include Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun, and Six Flags. With so many options, you can either choose one or make it a point to visit every single one in the state.
Attend a Soccer Game
Support your favorite teams by attending a game. There are several venues you can watch a game throughout Missouri. You have Sporting Kansas City, Club Atletico Saint Louis, Demise NPSL, Saint Louis FC, St Louis Lions, and Sporting Kansas City.
Attend a Hockey Game
Hockey is such a fun game to attend.
The best part is both Kansas City and Saint Louis have hockey teams you can watch. Saint Louis has the Blues Hockey Team, while Kansas City has the Mavericks.
Both venues offer a night of entertainment.
Attend a Football Game
Attending a Football Game in Kansas City is a must.
Especially if you are a huge football fan, one popular activity at the stadium is tailgating, so bring your barbeque pit, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and beer for a fun time before the game starts.
