Other than the fact that this place is closed right now for expansion... I give it a thumbs up!

Ok, so I'm Auntie Susan, and when I have to take the rugrats out, I'm always looking for a good place to go.  Wonders of Wildlife is almost always a kid pleaser AND, it's educational.    Apparently, it has more than 225 species of animals in their natural habitats for the kiddies (and adults) to view.  That includes beavers, sharks, eagles, fish, deer, bobcats, etc  They have recreated little rivers, caves and forests... pretty cool.  They have diver shows so kids can watch feedings.  

Also, I think it's pretty cool that they offer a WOW school of conservation and outdoor recreation.  I think for Springfield it's in April of 2008.

The only problem is that it's a lil pricey for going too often... 10.95 for adult and 6.95 for each kid.  They do offer a family pass for 32.95... I just have never been able to use it.

It is located right next to the Bass Pro Shop on W.Sunshine.

A nice wildlife museum. I stopped to check it out while passing through the city. It seems like a good place to take children so they can appreciate nature while in a city setting. Having some live animals was a plus (they tend to be more interesting than stuffed mounts).

This is a newer addition to the Springfield/Branson area. It is directly across from Bass Pro Shops. Many hands on exhibits and very informative displays that help bring awareness to the need for conservation and preservation of our natural resources. Some live animals as well. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff who really enjoy what they are doing. The layout was a bit confusing at some points,but overall, a nice place to spend a few hours.
