Missouri at a Glance

Branson, Missouri:
Primarily a leisure destination, accommodation selection truly depends on the type of vacation the traveler wants to experience in Branson.

Since the turn of the 20th century, Branson, Missouri, has attracted visitors with its abundance of outdoor recreational activities and surprising array of live entertainment options.

In the dog days of August and the wilting heat of July, expect long lines to get into shows and attractions. During the winter the weather is a bit chilly for all except cold weather critters, so if you can possibly arrange a spring or fall visit you’ll get the best of the weather and a real reduction in waiting times.

Kansas City, Missouri:
When most people speak of Kansas City they’re referring to the part of the city on the Missouri side, where the airport, sports teams, and most businesses are based

Combining the shopping, attractions, dining and diversity of a major metropolitan area with the friendliness and cost of a medium-sized Midwestern town, Kansas City offers leisure and business travellers a host of options.

Baseball fans should schedule trips to KC for April through September so they can catch the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Football fans come in from September through December to see the Chiefs. During the spring, summer, and fall, golfers go to KC's more than 40 golf courses, and year-round the casinos keep gamblers happy.

St. Louis, Missouri:
St. Louis is home to one of the most recognizable skylines in the world with its 630-foot tall Gateway Arch, the nation's tallest manmade monument, now illuminated by 44 floodlights.

Lively St. Louis is a merry mélange of world-class cultural attractions, one-of-a-kind restaurants and a melodic mix of music: blues, jazz, cabaret, symphony, opera.

Every season in St. Louis has something special on offer -- in spring the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is eagerly attended. In the summer, Six Flags St Louis attracts tourists and area residents with thrill rides and an extensive water park. Fall brings Halloween events at the Bissell House Museum and the Mountain Man Rendezvous. Around Christmas the Anheuser Busch Brewery puts on a spectacular display of lights.

Missouri Travel Notes

Branson, Missouri

Join a Gold Rush in Branson: by Sandra Carpenter.

A Gold Rush happens every year in some places. Autumn leaves turn from green to gold and tourists rush to see it. Branson, MO is a grand spot for seeing the fall foliage.

Kansas City

Gamin' on the River: by Leon Schwarzbaum.

Believing that gambling (the industry calls it gaming) is somehow less sinful if conducted on the water, governmental authorities have legalized casino gambling on boats, and issued licenses at more than 30 locations along the extended Mississippi system.

Kansas City, Here I Come: by Leon Schwarzbaum.

The visitor may be aware of the political boundary that runs between the two halves of Kansas City only if he finds himself on State Line Road, and then only if someone points it out.

Two of the three airports are in Missouri and one is in Kansas.

St. Louis, Missouri

Downtown St. Louis: by Leon Schwarzbaum.

Saved from the urban blight that destroyed many American inner cities by a massive urban renewal program, St. Louis now has a thriving downtown district.

Towering office buildings, restaurants, hotels and apartment complexes cover acreage once abandoned by city planners as hopeless.
