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.

What travellers are saying
- Ashley P1 contributionThis is a must do in Springfield! The last tour on Saturday was sold out, so we made the decision to get a hotel to come back Sunday and we are so happy we did! What a great experience!Written 23 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kathie SRolla, MO4 contributionsHad a great experience with the grandkids. We appreciated the help we received from Bobby at the entrance. Also really enjoyed the interaction from Greg explaining rattlesnakes, the difference between mountain goats and Bighorn Sheep etc with the boys.
The pizza at the restaurant was delicious!Written 17 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Their are parts of the park that wanted a little fee, we were there too early to see that part, if your into BEAUTIFUL flowers, shrubs and trees go and enjoy.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jessica KTarpon Springs, FL818 contributionsThis is a quick stop for a photo opt kind of thing. Right off the road in a parking lot, kind of goofy but worth it for the novelty.Written 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 4512ptj20 contributionsLocated in the Eastern Rhodope mountains, in a caldera [volcano erupted 35+ million years ago] the Nature Conservation Center has 3 individual rooms, all with private bathrooms. Meals are available, focus on local foods, well prepared. Rooms are a bit rustic but comfortable and appropriate for the guest accustomed to staying in nature reserves. We spent 2 delightful days here for bird watching. The village is about 5 minutes drive away.Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rusty_fwgOzark, MO4,127 contributionsif you are in town visiting, make sure you check out the schedule to see if you can catch a home game. I grew up a Royals fan but love a baseball experience regardless of the team. Aside from Memphis, this is probably the best minor-league stadium, and overall feel I have been to. good food selection lots of places for beverages and desserts. Seating is very expensive. Most are under $15.
The team is consistently good, which is also a perk!Written 2 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The first car displayed is a rare 1939 Parkard Safari used Winston Churchill while hunting big game in Africa. Only 3 produced and it's believed this is the only one that exists. Enjoyed reading the history about the 1926 Hudson Truck. Loved the 1954 Kaiser Darrin with sliding doors. Other favorites that are in excellent condition were the 1934 American Bantum, 1948 Chrysler Woodie, 1951 Crosley, 1966 Ford Bronco, 1925 Model T Depot Hack- we rode in one at Ford Museum in Michigan. Of course, the Jaguars and their history posted.Written 15 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Melissa LSebago, ME3 contributionsIdeal for young kids but not so much for 2 adults. We knew it was small but none of food placs were open. They do have a nice picnic area and playground for the kids. Several of the animals weren't on exhibit including the elephants which was a little disappointing. Over all good zoo for younger children. Friendly gift shop peopleWritten 9 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoySpringfield, MO15 contributionsThis was one of the places we visited when we moved to Springfield & it continues to be a family favorite. It is well maintained & such a peaceful to walk at any time of the year.Written 30 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- interviewtravelerWashington687 contributionsDiscovery Center has a lot of neat displays for the kids. There's also a playground outside. The displays did seem a little worn out, but still a ton of fun. There is a loud dinosaur display, but the clerk was so kind to recognize my kid didn't like the sounds and got her some noise masking headphones that were part of a sensory friendly backpack.Written 4 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The building is small but contained a lot of information and military equipment.Written 24 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jan B8 contributionsThere were 10 in our group that did the nighttime ghost tour. Everyone enjoyed it. Some wished it would have been scarier. There were a few of us that didn't go because online it said there were lots of stairs, but those who went said there really weren't that many stairs.Written 18 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
