Visit the Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium

The Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium, the world's largest immersive wildlife attraction of its kind, is located in the heart of Springfield. You can walk through galleries full of elaborate dioramas depicting natural habitats and animals from all over the world before seeing shimmering shoals of fish, scary sharks, and slow sloths in its large enclosures.

Despite the fact that it only opened in 2017, it is now one of the top tourist attractions in the state due to its numerous and massive exhibits. In addition to seeing taxidermied elephants, grizzlies, and crocodiles in dramatic poses in their natural habitats, visitors can learn all about them through the museum's many artifacts, artworks, and short film clips. The highlight, however, has to be its excellent aquarium, which has numerous themed sections to explore, including a Louisiana Swamp and an Ozark forest, and over 35,000 fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds.
