This is a fantastic place to visit and get in touch with nature. The trails are so beautiful. I just love the pond with so many lily pads. I took a video, but can't edit until I get home. Here are some pictures of things I saw inside that were interesting. There are many more awesome things that I did not photograph.

The Conservation Center is a wonderful place to go to bond with friends and family while learning about Missouri's natural history. Along with the Nature Center there are plenty of trails leading through the area through protected woods, allowing you a nature walk without leaving too far from Cape.

Great facility, nice staff. Another MDC treasure. I attended a seminar here. The rooms were comfortable and the technology worked. It was nice to explore their exhibits and watch the wildlife while on breaks. We Missourians are so lucky to have such a great conservation department.

This is one of the best nature centers you can visit. Plenty of hands on activities and wonderful displays. The nature viewing area is set up so nice. A few hiking trails and a "story" trail which is great fun with children. Picnic pavilions in the property, playground and fishing. Truly wonderful place.

They are getting trail medallions for hiking sticks soon (think early 2022) but we enjoyed a nice mild 1 mile hike. We stopped in at the main building, but our main goal were the trails behind it.
There are multiple short loop and out-and-back trails here included a "disability accessible" trail that is paved and wide enough to accommodate most anyone. The "outer loop" includes part of their most difficult trail that is only difficult due to the slopes that must be traversed. Beautiful in the fall. It's also covered in informational signs and markers. Perfect for younger kids.
For those nearby, it does connect with the Cape La Croix trail (paved from what I could see) on the back end of the Paw Paw Valley trail.

This park has miles of well maintained trails along with a state of the art nature center that has numerous educational areas and activities for kiddos. We come here multiple times a week and always find something new inside or outside. The photo is of the swamp on one of the trails. If you zoom in, you can see a turtle sitting on the log.

This place is a must-see if you visit the Cape Girardeau area. The exhibits are beautiful and informative. Your children will love the live, two-headed black snake, as well as the interactive displays and climb through beaver den. There are wonderful hiking trails to take you into nature as well.

Nice free stop with the kids to learn more about nature and history in SE Missouri. Was too cold to do the lake it trails, but both looked really nice. Lots of hands on exhibits and chances to touch and feel animal skins. A handful of aquarium with snakes, lizards, gosh and frogs. Really nice spot indoors to sit and watch the birds feeding outside. We did not check out the movie in the auditorium. Small gift shop in side. Highlight for the kids was the two headed snake.
It's a neat little park with lovely views. It looks like they are constructing something new in the park too but I don't know exactly what it is. Just a little way down river is downtown with some shops and restaurants. There is also a flood wall that has some neat artwork on it. It's worth checking out.

Great view of the river and especially the East pillar of the Emerson Bridge. I first saw this bridge in 2006 when traveling to Cape Girardeau. I make regular visits to the area and always enjoy getting a view of the river and this enormous bridge. The river was very low when I saw it this time. I recommend visiting this small park if you have a few minutes to spare. It was my first time to do the overlook area as seen in my photos. This park is very close to downtown Cape Girardeau. Check out some of the shops and restaurants in downtown if you can.

Pleasant little park.. we are from Wisconsin, looked for a little park to visit along the Mississippi and found this.
As we sit here on a park bench, it is a warm, breezy July 3rd. We sat for a long while watched flat boats transport their scrap metal cargo.. navigating the river. The sound of birds and cars on the bridge above the place we sat.

Lazy L Safari Park is a popular seasonal venue that provides visitors with the opportunity to see a variety of exotic animals, including birds, farm animals, and even a baby kangaroo. In addition to animal viewing, guests can also enjoy gem mining and concessions. The park features a petting zoo where visitors can feed the farm animals or interact with them on some level.
Mo was my favorite. He was well worth the money I paid to meet and spent time with him. Even though I didn't get to hold him. I talked to him and petted him. He was a good listener and made me laugh. I miss him but yet happy he has a new home. I bought a seasonal pass which I live close to the zoo and went alot and got my money worth. Some people thought I worked there because I was there almost every day it was open. But that's what u can do with a seasonal pass...... it's good for that year . Even everyday if u want to go. So this year I look fwd to seeing grandma the goat and gus the alligator. The animals are wonderful ❤.

Some pros and cons with this park. Pros would be the staff is kind, there was a play ground for the kids, the animals were fun and personable to watch, and there is a variety of activities you can do. Which brings me to the cons: in my opinion it is too expensive for what you get. $20 is the cost for one adult and a toddler to just see the animals. If you want to do the activities it gets more expensive. I do think feeding the animals should just be included, maybe a free souvenirs to make it more worth it. My kid and I only spent an hour here, and we saw all the animals several times. Even had an ice cream break... so my biggest criticism is the pricing. But I do need to add that the animals shelters were small in my opinion.. so if it is that expensive I think they need to put the animals in bigger living spaces. There was a lot of land here so I think it has better potential for the future. I think it's honestly worth $5 per person.

was very fun for all who like to feed farm animals or just see them , there was a baby Kangaroo. Also a peacock was running around. also very cool birds .One said Hello. and one let me pet it and grabbed my finger and shook my hand ✋. also some other animals. really cool place.

I came here over 2 years ago and it was full and I thought it was worth the money but recently brought my daughter and friend here and it’s so run down now we didn’t even spend 30 min there and left. Everything is filthy and rundown and I was honestly very concerned for some of the animals they looked very lethargic and a few of them were not groomed at all! Very sad because it used to be a great place for families.

I took a star first since they are not handicap accessible. Parking lot was gravel not good for wheelchairs or scooters, trails similar. Lip of concrete at the barn made entrance hard and it turned to gravel after several feet.
Some of the cages seemed very small for the animals it was holding. But a decent variety for the price. The encounters are expensive and I'd feel for the price those animals would have better habitats. Staff are super friendly. Kids really enjoyed cracking geodes, just for note they are small geodes.

I used Google Maps/Directions to get back into it. Once there you drive past the residence up to the Barn where you'll see the Store. In addition to purchasing Tickets you have the pleasure of buying a sack of feed to feed the animals behind the red fencing. Follow the instructions on each fence. There are some animals on a specific diet. Flat hand feeding. Remember that line. The Hogs and large Bird's, feed them on the ground. Some of the Kid's are loose and they look very lovable. Don't let your guard down! No matter how sweet the little things appear, I assure you they will chow on your favorite item of clothing or anything else you may have that catches their eye. 😁 Nothing to fear as they were gentle as their natural instinct was acting itself out.
The large Bird's are the only "caution" I'd send out. If you've seen a chicken peck think x 100 with the large birds.
Even though feeding the Deer, the Kangaroo, the Goats was fun as they came to meet us, going into and walking through the Parakeet Sanctuary was the most unique for me. You can get sticks for them but you are in their domain once you enter the second door. 🐦

We've been to many places like this safari park and this one just did not compare. First, we maybe spent an hour here, if that, which just doesn't justify the $40+ ($11 for adults, $9 for children plus tax) to enter with our family of four. Second, it was a very hot day with minimal shade to get away from the blistering sun. Third, be very careful when entering the goat petting zoo area. These guys were VERY hungry and swarmed us as soon as we entered. They ended up getting stuck in the little gate area before you enter the actual petting zoo area. I had to lift my 5 year old out of the area because they were just too much for her to handle. We then went into the barn area where there were more animals to feed and see. There was a big fan blowing in there but it was still pretty hot. There was a good number of different animals to see in there which was nice. Our favorite part of the safari park was petting and feeding the kangaroo. We then walked out over to the large area of animals out in front but most of them were too far out in the field to see. All in all it wasn't a terrible place to go I just think the price of admission is a bit high for what you get.
Andrew Bachmann — Google review
I agree with several of the reviews in that this place is SUPER overpriced on the entry fees. The feed price was ok.we liked all the animals. Some had little if no information on what they were. We didn't go into the petting zoo for obvious reasons. I wasn't going to pay an extra 10$ to ride a camel. That should have been in on the entry fee. There was another fee to hold animals and mining. They advertised an alligator but there wasn't one.
We liked the birds and the Kangaroos. The lemurs we're fun to watch and feeding the animals was fun. Not a horrible place but definitely not worth the price.

Cape Splash Family Aquatic Center is a water park that offers multiple pools, slides, a river and a playground. The facility provides an enjoyable experience for both children and adults. They have attentive lifeguards who enforce the rules courteously. It can get crowded at times, but the lines move quickly. Visitors may want to bring water shoes as the concrete can get hot and cause blisters on feet from walking around without protection.
The rides are water are great for family fun. Kinda wish the workers would be more attentive. 😕
Martha Lejarazu — Google review
The staff were more into hanging out with each other than doing their job. My child went down the slide, and the guards at the top of the slide were too busy laughing with each other and didn't warn the guard at the bottom. My child was struggling in the water that my husband jumped in to get him. It's quite disappointing that they don't take their job seriously. I guess it's what happens when you hire too many teenagers.

Danielle Meirstin — Google review
Everytime I've been there it's been a fun time things that the owner or management should consider is a few more food options at reasonable prices people get hungry while playing and swimming and the concrete gets so hot there I've noticed some kids that forget to wear sandels so they run barefoot I walked a few steps on that hot concrete and it's enough to burn someone's feet so my suggestion is to find a way to have a pathway with sprinklers that recycle the water through so it's not wasting the water and that way people especially kids won't hurt themselves I know it sounds silly but it's just an idea since it's a pretty big park ! (My comments about the food and pathway is not negative if anyone assumes that just some things that could improve it and may make more customers happy also ) the workers have been wonderful every time I've been there and the place stays fairly clean besides kids that need to learn some manners and clean up after themselves .
I have 2 small children and they absolutely love it! There is quite a few areas inside, in different sections. Plus an indoor play jungle to climb, slide etc. Also, if you receive EBT, Up to 4 people get in free!

We were traveling from TN to MO and needed a place for our 2 year old and almost 4 year old to burn off some energy on the long car ride. This was a different route than we normally take but worth it. Both our kids had a blast. We have been to several places like this but what made this place stand out was its diversity of "exhibits" and how detailed it was. The bank had an ATM and lock boxes and a teller window. The grocery store had a scanning (beep and all) belt, shopping carts and lists of things to find. There was a play house, water room, and tons of little experiments for them to try. My youngest loved the art room. Upstairs was geared for more older kids (so it says) but both my kids couldn't get enough of the real plane and stage for acting/dancing. We have officially decided to come this way from now on to give our kids an amazing place to play. The only downside, they want to be here for HOURS!

Very fun for young children, my child had a blast with her friends. I noticed workers cleaning areas when children weren't in certain centers!! I gave it a 4 because it could use more things in some centers for children and close up their ceiling. I also liked that it was big enough for adults to play with their children. It was free for us because we went for a nephew's birthday party. I like that once the party is over families can stay the whole day.

We love this place! For $8 a person you get unlimited play all day, and the different stations encourage kids to use their imaginations. Discovery Playhouse is large enough to keep kids entertained but small enough where I can bring my two kids by myself without feeling frantic. Each time we have come, they've made friends with other kids and have had a great time! Pro tip - come right when they open as they are busier after lunch. This place is best for smaller kids - ages 1 - 8 or so.

Century Casino Cape Girardeau is a modern gambling establishment that offers over 900 slot machines, a variety of table games and five chic dining options.

It's worth giving it a shot as one never knows what fortune might bring.

Just recently moved to the area and had never been to a Casino before. Doing something for the first time can be intimidating, but Century made it a fun and exceptional experience.
The slots are varied and enjoyable, but the table games are where this place shines. While the number is limited, the staff are the highlight. Austin and Janice were very polite and patient with me. They helped me figure out 3 card Poker enough that I played a few hands and walked out with some money. I will definitely be back.
An extra shout out to the ladies at the Winner's Circle as well. They do a great job explaining the rewards program and answering any questions you may have. If you are ever in Cape Girardeau and want to have a good time, definitely check out Century Casino. You will not be disappointed.

Cape Rock Park is a historic green space located on the riverfront, established in 1733 as a trading post. It offers beautiful views of the Mississippi River and features a Kwanzaan Cherry tree that blooms in the Spring. The park provides a peaceful sanctuary for those seeking solitude, without any marked trails to follow. Visitors can climb up the hill and walk down old stone steps while taking in the history of the area.
Sanctuary for quietness and no people. Great for writing. No marked trails. Gorgeous view of the the river. Pretty much you walk up the hill, read some history... and you see a nice view.

What a fun time! They really are a whole lot of kid friendly activities in the mall these days. My sister and I needed to go to Sam’s Club and her kids absolutely hate going shopping, so my husband took the boys to the mall!

Like retail store across the country this mall has for sure felt the effects of online shopping and what not. It's a nice place, it's big, and at one time was surly busy with consumers. Now, there are lots of closed stores and empty store fronts. I don't know how long they can keep a venue like this open without rethinking how and who they lease space to. It is for sure going to take some out of the box thinking to keep places like this from closing their doors. It's a nice place, shop local and buy American let's try to keep what we have that used to make this place great.

Once inside the atmosphere is good and everyone has a decent view of the event. However, outside there is no clear direction of line for those with tickets or those who need to purchase and hundreds of people lined up to get in.

So many beautiful items to have seen. Made a few purchases, some items were way overpriced for our area. Happy some vendors were priced within my budget. Wonderful afternoon spent, just plain looking.
On a work trip and had to see what the hype was all about. 24 hour gas station next door as well and the employees are great. My thoughts, “this beautiful spectacle brought me a sense of pride and joy about our country.” Forget the other destinations, I’ll be back for another visit!

Its a giant fake soda cup. What else do you want?
Matthew Nichols — Google review
Clean store, restrooms, and great selection. BUT, I personally don't LOVE the NEWER kind of fountain soda machines that Coca Cola has in several locations. To me, the soda tastes almost flat, watered down, and I usually just pass on a fountain soda from one of these NEWER machines. The store however, is very nice and has a nice staff!

The World's Largest Fountain Cup may not seem like much in a world where there's something bigger and better every minute, but to stand in the august presence of such a landmark was truly humbling. Added photo of fellow paying homage.

Although it seems cheesy, the kids loved it and it was a great stop on our way out of town. The nearby convenience store is very nice as well.
It was busy! We met all manner of loving parents and children. Completely inclusive and accessible. Fenced in anf level. Wonderful playground.

One of the best playgrounds here. One of my grandchildren is legally blind and I love him having a safe place to play. He is also autistic and it allows him to express himself. Surprisingly he enjoys the musical part of the playground.

Great play place for kids of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. Safe Place
NOTE: Accessible only from County Park North Entrance and drive halfway around the lake. Handicap friendly, that's why it was built.
By the SEMO Redhawks water tower.

Awesome playground. Super safe. 2 ways in only and the entire place is fenced off. Soft ground for kids safety. Big enough for 50+ kids to get their kid on. Bathrooms were clean. Grounds were clean. Easy access off of 55. Love it!

Wonderful accessible playground and accessible bathrooms. Lots of picnic areas although the tables we saw did not have wheelchair spots. Many different playground options make it fun even if it is crowded. The playground is fenced except for some of the ramps but easy to maintain line of site. Other recreation options like fishing and geocaching available nearby. Great AT&T and Verizon signal. Parking is available for buses and RVs.

This is a very large park with a very large play structure and other smaller play items for the kids. Our kids enjoyed it and wished we had something this large and diverse near our home. The entire playground area is gated to keep kids safe. There is plenty of parking on both sides, including handicap accessible parking. There were a lot of families there, but because of how large the play area is and the way the structures are setup, we did not feel crowded.

My son loves this playground! It is completely fenced in, so I don't have to worry about his safety as he runs from item to item.

Show me Center in Cape Girardeau, is the home of Southeast Missouri State University. This is my first visit to this place. One of the Indians who was graduating on that day and requested me and my wife to visit and be his substitute parents as he was missing them. I liked the nice small city. Like all universities, this place was also full of eager, enthusiastic youngsters.

Concert was great. Parking $10.00, concessions weren't all that good and priced rather high for the quality. Overall a good experience and I'll attend more events here.

Attractive building. Close parking. Good lighting & sound. Useful ariel monitors showing close-ups & names of graduates. Nice bathrooms. Horrible hard plastic seating. I will not attend another "sitting" event there. I would consider a "walking" event.
Debby Frankland — Google review
We went to see the Hotwheels Monster truck show and we had a decent time. The venue was a little small it seemed for such of an event but we did have a good time. It was geared to children and lacked some of the excitement of a bigger show like Monster Jam but the kids did love it. The Motorcycles jumps were also good. They also have a nurse that works at the arena that my mother had to go see for being short of breath that was nice as could be, helpful and informative. I do not remember her name but Thank you from the Reed Family.

Attended a high school graduation. Facility was more than adequate. Parking and leaving was a disaster. No traffic controls whatsoever. It took 40 minutes to travel two blocks to the lot entrance. Leaving was worst. Sat in a line in the parking lot for 40 minutes without moving one inch. It took 50 minutes to get out of the lot to the street.

I went for orientation with my daughter. Campus seems to be kept clean. Parking is atrocious though. There are so many steps. As I walk with assistance on bad days, it was hard to maneuver all the stairs. Most everyone was friendly. I did encounter someone representing RedHawks and he wasn't the nicest. This is the only person that was not nice. Every one seemed to truly want to answer questions without an attitude. One bad apple didn't ruin the whole bunch this time though. Every one else keep up the good work.

I've been here twice: once for a concert, and then tonight for a President Trump rally. I had a great time at both events. For the concert I was on the floor, and I was in a regular seat for the rally. Both seats offer a great view, so no issues there. Acoustics are great and handled the President's speech well. I have a hearing problem so this is especially important to me, and I had no problem understanding anyone who spoke tonight. Also, even though we had to walk maybe half a mile from where we parked to the entrance of the Show Me Center, especially for tonight's rally there was ample parking as well as busses to help shuttle people from their cars to the main parking lot. My only issue at either event might be the food selection. The selections were fine for the concert, but tonight we had only pretzels or hotdogs to choose from, oh and popcorn. My boyfriend grabbed the last hotdog (for that particular concession stand) well before the rally ended, which is not so great. Poor food selection aside, we had a great time and look forward to going back in the future.
Amy — Google review
Went to the presidential rally. Even with the extra security the lines moved quickly and the event staff were curteous. The few protestors present were given ample space near the front of the line to state their views. They also had large screens and PA's outside for people who didn't arrive in time to be seated inside. The center was packed, and there were a few less than stellar seats, but most seemed to be adequate. They also had a convenient shuttle service so parking wasn't an issue.

Went here for a Trump rally! Place was very big. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was a bit tricky. There definitely should be more parking. Concession stands were open and a bit pricey but tides you over.

The Glenn House is a local history museum situated in a restored 19th-century Victorian house. It displays period furnishings and artifacts that offer insight into the historical significance of the region. The home has been well preserved and showcases its rich cultural heritage through knowledgeable docents who provide visitors with an immersive experience, making them feel as though they have stepped back in time. Recently, the museum featured mourning wear, which showcased beautiful attire worn during periods of grief.
Very cool historic site. This authentic Victorian home is now a museum. They've taken great care to restore it to its original condition with time appropriate furniture and decor. My tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative.
The house and Glenn family have quite the history. The house is supposedly haunted and appeared on Ghost Hunters.
I learned a lot about Cape Girardeau's history as well as the people of that time. I would recommend a visit if you're into history. 10/10

I went to the boo-tique event for October it was a small affair, but fun! Several vendors setup in the carriage house and back porch. I pre-registered for an 8pm tarot reading which ran late. The woman setup to read palms had a list of people waiting and I didn't have time to stay. They had already started the house tour, but let me go in the first floor with a young woman volunteer to take pictures. Which I so appreciated! A snack table and smores by the fire! I felt very welcome by everyone who works and voluteers there!

To me, if you like history and don’t get a tour at The Glenn House when you’re in Cape, you’re doing it wrong! It was a truly excellent experience. The guided tour my friend and I were given was amazing. I am blown away by the fact that volunteers have been pulling for literally decades to deliver the experience. Our guide, whose name i am going to guess is spelled Raina, was a delight and incredibly knowledgeable. Frankly, after the tour, I regretted not being able to volunteer and help out myself! Seems like such an interesting endeavor with loads of passionate people.
The house itself was beautiful. I can only imagine the countless hours spent on making sure every single aspect of it was gorgeous. It truly seems like Victorian era wealth is on display. Every single room was jaw dropping and i wish i took more pictures. I was so caught up in the tour experience that I rarely thought to. There are so many details in each room. It’s amazing. I’d love to go back at a different time of year when they have changed up displays for the holidays.

This place spooky as hell yall but also a charming and welcoming place
This place is really neat. The main floor has tons of vintage clothes, antiques of all sorts bit by far the largest collection of trench art I've seen outside of a museum. The basement had all sorts of deals, and a large selection of books. Has a public restroom if you need one as well. Got an old bayonet and a birthday card (yes they have birthday cards too) for about 30$. They also have cold drinks. Probably one of the best antique stores I've been to.

Sassy Annie and her crew are always welcoming. The Store itself, whether you're browsing or in definite shopping mode is (for me) a Museum of both recent past and THE past. I suppose Vintage and Antique would be most descriptive. The atmosphere is filled with Music which keeps me there as much as the merchandise does. I'm a Book Lover and if you are as well stop in here. But by all means peruse the entire Store. You WILL come across things you actually used in your lifetime that will bring you to a good time and place in your life. Are they expensive? Someone asked. I just purchased an $8 Book, Imminent Return of Christ, for $4. You can get a head start by visiting Instagram and clicking onto @sassyannie Do I recommend this Store? For both the Buyer and Seller. They told me if there's something I'm looking for let them know. They either have it or work with people who can. Yes, I recommend this Store.
The Red House Interpretive Center is a museum that replicates a trading post and the home of the town's founder, showcasing antiques and relics from the 1800s. The center also features beautiful gardens. The staff is exceptional, as reported by visitors who have experienced their kindness and helpfulness. The museum offers an awesome history of Cape Girardeau, Missouri and visitors are amazed at what they find inside the house during their tours.
Quaint historic place with a great backdrop!

I come here so much, because they always have nice vinyls in stock that are affordable and not random artists you have never heard of. Over just a year I have gotten 50+ vinyls all in good condition. The clothing and antiques are amazingly beautiful too. Great place to even just look around and explore if you don’t wanna buy anything.❤️

I love all the sayings that are posted every where in the store. A mix of vintage, antique and flea market! Lot of whimsy in the decor. Some little mass produced items. The ladies are awesome especially Beth who takes care of the plants. Mostly indoor and patio plants at Great prices! Also, there's vintage and modern clothing on the racks. I ended up buying 1 pair of shorts and 2 shirts to pair together. There are only a few large sizes. There's a 50% off basement. Good hours too!

An experience you don't want to miss! Upon arriving you're welcomed with "open doors" the lighting in the store can be compared to lighting on a professional set. The all natural aromas change throughout the store, but are not overwhelming. Very subtle. 90's hits are played. There is a 50% discount basement full of items. Not to mention various living, healthy, thriving, well established plants! Thanks for putting all your thought and obvious time into your business it shows!

Annie Laurie's has been a vintage haven when treasure hunting! A fun and cool place to bring friends and family. After moving from Cape and not being back in almost a year, I stopped by when I was in town and wasn't even in their door for 10 minutes before scooping up this vintage lamp pair for my living room sofa tables that fit my MCM living space. I'm in love!! Thank you to the store and dedicated staff of this establishment.
Beautiful old church. Only wish it had been open for the eclipse.

First visit to this Parrish, been baptized as a RC and a protestant since I was 15. Most of the prayers and music were still recalled with warm affection, and the homily was wonderful. I was really nice worshipping in an atmosphere of beauty rather than darkness. Modern protestant churches turn out the lights like it is a show or performance. Refreshing to be in God's presence and light, focused on Him. 2000 years and still going, impressive.
