Springfield has many relatively unknown gems when it comes to things to do. There was one attraction that drew my attention from the first day I arrived in this city, Wonders of Wildlife. This museum offered both a massive fresh water as well as a salt water aquarium along with so many other habitats and interactive displays. We purchased a year pass and used it nearly every week. I truly enjoyed being able to take my sweetheart and our daughters to just go and sit and watch the sea life. I think watching the sharks was my personal favorite but the Large Mouth Bass was also very relaxing.
We renewed our pass back in August but to our surprise we showed up one day for our weekly visit and to our disappointment there was a sign on the door. They had closed the museum for renovations. As time has passed I have come to learn that they are going to be closed for a very long time. In a strange way I am experiencing a very real and personal loss. I have heard that Bass Pro has actually assumed ownership of the museum and so I have hopes that the renovations will be worth the wait. When they reopen the doors I would highly encourage you to see for yourself. For updates check out their website: Wonders of Wildlife
