Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    My boyfriend and I (young adults) and my parents really enjoyed this waterfall on our Missouri trip in early January 2025.

    The waterfall is peaceful and pretty and it is surrounded by colorful rocks that were fun to run around on, but could be somewhat hazardous for people with more limited mobility, especially if it is rainy or icy outside- luckily the water can be seen well from the parking area.

    Definitely stop by if you’re near Joplin!

    Very good place for children. Plenty of equipment for them to climb on, and for parents to get tired on. Lol. But if you want to bring your child somewhere fun for them to play. This is the place.

    We visited Spiva today to see the new exhibits and participate in Arts in Bloom activities. The gallery is free to attend and there was a Makers Market happening today with some very talented vendors. As part of the Art in Bloom today my kids made two beautiful flower bouquets. So much fun to be had. We also placed our votes for the small works exhibits.

    Took our 5 and 9 year old sons as part of our annual Thanksgiving staycation. While it was a rainy, chilly day, it was truly gorgeous. We were able to enjoy multiple areas without any people or crowds, enjoyed looking at the various rocks that this area afforded us (seriously, was worth the sit down we all took to find some fossils and beauties in the piles). Can’t imagine how gorgeous this will be in spring and I hope we get to come back 🤞

    Be sure to give the Shoal Creek Conservation & Education center a walkabout, it’s a well done space!

    As far as truck stops go, Joplin 44 Petro is the best I’ve ever seen 😀 they have an entire section with truck parts and another section that is a gift shop with tons of stuff to browse through. They also have the usual chain fast food restaurants and coffee shop. When we visited they were having a truck show and the place was pretty packed. If you are driving through Joplin, stop by to stretch your legs 😀

    The staff here are great! Friendly and helpful. There wasn't much of interest, the items we were interested in, were a little overpriced. It's still fun to go look!

    I think "mural park" is a bit of an overstatement. There are just two murals, but they're cute and it's an easy pit stop to make for a quick photo.

    Parked at the south trailhead (big parking lot available) and enjoyed a nice walk north to the second trailhead and back. Nice flat surface and about 90% shared for this section.

    River side park like setting with lots of trees and gravel yard.
    The road noise didn't bother us...its pretty quiet at night. The boss is a nice guy who helps you get parked.
    Note: this seems to be a monthly rental park with a few sites for travellers. CALL before you go to ensure there is a spot.

    I’ve been a resident of Joplin for many years and remember when Northpark Mall was built. It’s the only enclosed mall in town and it really meets most of my needs. It has a Penney’s, Macy’s and several other clothing stores, a selection of smaller boutiques and a small food court. I also like to walk here in bad weather and there’s a nice one-mile path marked. I still go lWalmart and use Amazon but this is a nice mall

    My family came across the spot by accident when we were taking the back roads home. We are very happy we did. It's not much just a marker and a stone pillar, but for some reason, it made a really big impression on my kiddos. They got a kick out of being in 3 places at once

    Friendly staff and a nice selection of exercise equipment. The cardio equipment does need some repairs or even updating.

    My son for his 5th birthday wanted to go skating with his family and friends so we took him to Roller City and let him skate we love the helpers that they have which is basically just piping good together in a certain way for you to hold on to and be able to stable yourself while you're skating it really helped my kids be able to skate with their friends and cousins would definitely choose to go here again
