Set in the southwestern corner of Missouri, Downtown Joplin and the Sunshine Lamp District are home to many restaurants, stores and art galleries. Take a drive down historic Route 66, one of the nation’s original highways, which traverses eight states on the way from Chicago to Los Angeles. Sample some authentic Missouri foods from local diners such as Applebee’s, Beckett’s Café, and Buffalo Wild Wings.
To view majestic scenery, head to the Grand Falls, known as the largest natural waterfall in Missouri. Water flows and crashes 12 feet down from a 163 foot rock ledge. If you’re in the mood for a nice walk, Campbell Parkway is ideal. Over a mile of trails wind their way around and over Joplin Creek. However, if your time for strolling is more limited and you prefer staying in the shade, try the paved trails of Leonard Park, which also boasts playground units for kids.
