Top 41 things to do and attractions in Jefferson City

Four of us booked a three-hour tour and it was one of the highlights of our weekend. We ended up being part of a group of about thirty guests. The place is creepy and spooky, and we enjoyed hearing some firsthand and secondhand stories about paranormal events as well as some history of the prison and its inmates. During our tour, we had (what could be argued were) some activity, but nothing definitive. It made for a more exciting visit, for sure.

Drove 5.5 hours from Nebraska to visit! We went for the 3 hour ghost hunt on Thursday & decided we should go on the History tour on Friday morning. I enjoyed both of them so much & had so much fun. The only thing is I wished I would have done the history tour before the ghost tour! So I would have had more of an understanding of the area! The guides & staff are awesome, super helpful, and full of knowledge about this prison. With the future of this place being unknown I’m so glad we took the time to come visit!

The history of this place is phenomenal. They offer prison tours, ghost tours, and overnight haunted tours. Our tour guide was Lee, who I highly recommend, because Lee was an actual prison guard that worked there for many years. Lee started working there in the 1980's. He worked there until they closed in 2004, then worked at the new prison for a few more years before retiring. If you do a tour here, ask for Lee. He is very knowledgeable. You can even go inside the actual gas chamber that was in use for many years there. I am so glad I went on this tour. Thank you Lee!

The buildings are incredible. The tour and stories are through and captivating. Our guide, Daniel, knew so much and made sure we got the best photo opportunities, plenty of time to ghost hunt, and definitely shared every story he had. Absolutely coming back for another tour!

Highly recommend the history-based tours of this very interesting and atmospheric place. Having taken two tours (with different guides), can also say it’s a totally different experience each time. There’s also paranormal/ghost hunt tours, if that’s your kind of thing.

This place is so interesting! I only regret doing the shorter tour! Our tour guide was very informative and the fact that he used to work at the prison before it closed really added to the tour! I wish we had more time to explore as the 2 hours went by so fast. I really hope they don’t tear this place down we would love to come back. Buy your tickets in advance.

State pen was a great visit . Our guides Jim and Dave were very knowledgeable and made it very interesting. I’m thankful the state has not removed it and put in a parking lot . So much history there, the architecture and people.

We had a great experience visiting the Missouri State Capitol. You can either book a free guided tour in advance or explore on your own. Both options are completely free! We went on a Saturday morning in June right when it opened, and surprisingly, we were the only ones there. There are some free parking spots right in front, which made things super convenient. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes because there are four floors to explore, including a full museum on the first floor with exhibits covering Missouri’s rich history, government, and culture. The architecture is stunning, and every floor has something worth seeing. Whether you’re a history buff, traveling with family, or just passing through Jefferson City, the Capitol is definitely a must-visit.

I absolutely loved the capital building. I think it's awesome you can walk around on your own and explore. There are some areas restricted but free excess for the most part. The art and history in the building really makes it a must see.

Lovely experience, I had the privilege of meeting several representatives and hosting a house style debate through their facility . I captured some gorgeous photos of the capitol that helped capture the atmosphere within the capitol. (With my spooky and liminal touch of course)

Such a beautiful property! This Capitol is massive. The beauty of the building inside is phenomenal. I love to tour state capital buildings and this one does not disappoint. Take some time out of your day and check this out. You will not regret it.

Beautiful capitol building inside and out. When you walk around the grounds, the grass is beautiful and manicured even on 100 degree days. There's parking in front and back of the capitol. It is truly a beautiful building.

Great place for adults or children to visit our history. Inside and out of the building. I'm hoping they will dedicate a little time to maintain the outside also. Not enough to deduct a point. Just an observation :)

I had an extra day to stay in Columbia, and decided to visit the Missouri State Capital. I learned SO MUCH about the history of the state and was very impressed with the beauty of the building. If you are ever near Jefferson City, MO, a trip to the State Capital is well worth your time!!

I like this outdoor treasure that's nestled just a few minutes from our Missouri Capitol. Currently (Spring 2025) sees Runge under construction with improvements happening at the visitor center/indoor section as well as outdoor, but still very much functional and fun! About 2 miles of well maintained, clean, beautiful trails weave through quiet grassland, fields of seasonal wildflowers, and foresty areas with a variety of aged trees. On the visit where these pictures were taken, March 2025, the flowers were not yet in bloom, but the birds were already sweetly singing. Visit in Summer for gorgeous wildflowers beside the trails. A very nice outdoor escape inside of a bustling city, and it's a shame part of the trail borders a neighborhood, but those residents keep their homes looking very nice, it just reduces the 'out in nature' experience. A part I relish is the old fire tower lookout. Historical signs tell the story of the tower and the husband and wife who operated it many years. People can climb the steps for a bird's-eye-view of this area, but the tower building at the top is locked. Come enjoy a very nice getaway in Jeff City at Runge. Due to work hours, I have never been inside the building, but it looks like a fun, educational opportunity and I took a picture during renovation where I saw taxidermy animals and displays along with things to read. Thankfully, while the inside closes by 5pm, trails are accessible until 8pm. There's even a shorter wheelchair accessible trail right off the parking lot that offers nice features to read and view Missouri's natural gems.

Beautiful views and scenery. Plenty of unique trails to choose from as well with varied distances. the firewatcher tower offers a great overlook of the nature center. the indoor area is a great museum type attraction that has plenty of interactivity. Trails are mostly paved so walking after rain is no trouble.

I loved exploring the trails at Runge Conservation Nature Center! The paths are well-maintained and offer a peaceful escape into nature right near Jefferson City. There’s a great variety of plants and wildlife to see, and the trail signs make it easy to learn about the local ecosystem. It’s perfect for hiking, birdwatching, or just a relaxing walk. Family-friendly and educational — a hidden gem for anyone who enjoys the outdoors!

I didn't realize it, but I had been here before with the kids in 2003, and it still impresses. Four of us adults enjoyed the outdoor trails, then spent an unexpected amount of time in the Nature Center. It is so informational, includes live animals and taxidermy versions, and there was a quilt exhibit at the time, too. This is an excellent place to bring children, but the four of us enjoyed exploring as well.

Great place! It’s free but a lot to do for kids 1-5. Turtles to look at, a couple fish, puppets, a ‘tree house.’ My kid loved it. Shout out to the conservation lady who helped reinforce the lesson of ‘don’t eat things you find outside’ when I had my child ask her if a fruit found outside was edible, she told my child what it was and what animals like to eat it and reinforced ‘Always ask an expert!’ Although it was free, it was so worth it that I bought something from the gift shop to support them.

It was very pretty. We were unable to go in because it was a Sunday and they are closed on Sundays.

Being so accessible for everyone living in Jeff City makes this a must visit (multiple times) for any resident and great side stop for anyone passing through or living in the nearby area. The walking trails are well kept and a mix of single track, gravel, wood chip, and boardwalk. There's also a creek when the water is running, a diversity of fields and canopy, leading to an abundance of blooms, and a fire tower that you can go up for amazing panoramic views. I highly recommend it for trail running, but of course walking is fine too. There are ample public facilities and of course the highly educational nature center itself!

We visited the Museum of Missouri Military History on a Saturday morning in June, right when it opened. There were only about 8 people there, so we had plenty of space to explore and take our time checking out the tanks, planes, and exhibits. The museum is located on the Missouri national guard base, so once you cross the railroad tracks, just continue straight until you reach a booth. Let them know you’re there for the museum. They’ll check your driver’s license and wave you through. There’s a lot to see packed into a smaller space: military uniforms, weapons, historical displays, and even a helicopter that flew in the Vietnam War, complete with patched bullet holes. We were able to go inside one of the tanks, which was really cool! The carrier plane wasn’t open because it was too hot. When it’s 90+ degrees, the inside becomes like an oven and it’s unsafe for people to go in. So if you want that part of the experience, try going on a cooler day. It takes about an hour to fully explore everything, and it’s definitely a case of quality over quantity. There’s plenty of free parking, and the whole museum is completely free! It’s a great stop for history buffs, reluctant spouses who end up loving it, and curious kids alike.

You have to go on base through the gate. Your maid will lead you in a circle to a closed area. This museum gives a unique local spin on every military action since the Mexican American war. Great artifacts. They have a C-130 anda tank that you can go in.

Free access, you need to access the National Guard (need ID) and amazing collection of tanks and military material (WW1, 2 and Vietnam wars) super recommended!! Reserve about 1:30h to see the entire collection.

Great high quality exhibits! Very interesting. Perfect way to spend a couple of hours. It was super hot the day we visited so having the A/C in the in-door exhibits along on with the bigger out-door ones worked out perfectly. It is inside the National Guard Base so you do have to go through security at the guard station but they were very friendly and helpful.

It’s hard to rate a free museum badly, especially when it’s a good one. As said above, this is a free museum, you just gotta show your id since it’s on a military base. There are tons of military vehicles outside. You can even go inside a plane. It features both an outside and inside exhibit

A small but fascinating museum with an excellent collection of uniforms, vehicles, and historical artifacts showcasing Missouri’s role in various conflicts. The staff is friendly, and you can feel their passion in every display. Perfect for military history enthusiasts or anyone looking to learn more about local contributions. Definitely worth a visit!

The Museum of Missouri Military History is an informative and well-organized place that highlights the contributions of Missouri’s service members throughout history. The exhibits include authentic military artifacts, vehicles, and detailed displays that offer a meaningful look into the past. It’s a respectful and educational experience suitable for all ages, especially for those interested in military history.

We walked from Madison's Cafe past the governor's mansion to the Bicentennial Bridge and down to the park. We tried out the rope hammocks but they weren't too comfortable. Landscaping is still in progress, but the concrete path around the park next to the river is very peaceful. Views of the sunset are great. We played a game of chess on the outdoor giant chess board in the park past sunset, and appreciated the lighting along the path and near the chessboard. Some of the pieces are damaged but all the pieces are still there. Highly recommend a stroll in this delightful addition to the state Capitol area. We even had a state representative offer to take our my husband's and my photo.

Closed for the season but you can walk the property and view the buildings.

An immense amount of history to enjoy; very well preserved. The Lohman Building is open Tuesday--Saturday from 10am--4pm. Inside you'll find an 1850s general store and warehouse. The Union Hotel holds the Elizabeth Rozier Galley with changing exhibits that explore Missouri's history, art and culture. Be sure to explore the rest of the Capitol Complex. Definitely worth the trip.

Very small train station. 1 unisex bathroom. Staff is beyond helpful and friendly. There is no wifi.

This place is ok. There isn't much to it. You get to watch a 20-30 min. video about the history of the capital and the capitol building. Other than that, there is a small gift shop and a few other things about the history of the building.

Great historic site. The decor, enviroment and overall feel of this place was spot on. My children and I loved it. Entertaining and educational. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Overall very family friendly and a great experience!

We walked from Madison's Cafe past the governor's mansion to the Bicentennial Bridge and down to the park.

Excellent experience at the capital and park today. The gardens are exceptionally kept. Very clean and wide walk ways. Parking was great. We went on a Friday morning

The Missouri State Museum is located inside the Missouri State Capitol. It's beautiful, and there's no waiting in line. You can learn about Missouri's history and buy Missouri-related souvenirs. It's completely free, and the staff are very friendly.

If you ever get the opportunity go here, it's worth a look. They are constantly. I'm making up building better. They do a great job of showing you timeline, to the state of Missouri. As well as a lot of the artifacts that was found here.

Very impressive building both on the outside and inside, a reccomended visit if you have an extra hour. You can explore the building yourself for free or book a guided tour 24 hours in advance. The elevators are fun to ride if you get the chance.

Great place to take the family and learn all about Missouri's rich history. A free attraction that has both indoor and outdoor sights to enjoy! Not to mention the capitol building has beautiful architecture!

I spent a couple hours walking around looking at everything. I like the paintings.

Kudos to Ms Steven Ana, our articulate tour guide of the day, that was full of energy and enthusiasm in all our queries and questions re various topics in Missouri’s history. Experience was great! It’s always nice to look back for you to be able to understand the future!

Beautiful historic home with amazing architecture and lots of character. The guided tour was really interesting — the staff shared great stories about Missouri’s governors and the mansion’s history. The house is well-preserved and gives a nice glimpse into the state’s past. The grounds are peaceful and perfect for a stroll. A great spot if you love history or just want to see a charming piece of Missouri’s heritage!

Beautiful mansion. Incredibly interesting historical location that I would encourage anyone from MO or neighboring states to visit. I was there for a meal with the Governor and First Lady and I was extremely impressed with the food and the entire feel of the location. I recommend checking it out.

Jefferson City is a quiet, family-friendly oriented place to visit and live. It has low crime and beautiful, well-kept gardens throughout the city. Enjoy the Capital on a self-esteem guided tour, the Governor's Mansion, the Carnahan and Botanical gardens, and much more! Rent is very affordable, business is steady. I really enjoy living here.

We went on a group tour and had an amazing tour guide. They were in period dress and so knowledgeable. She encouraged questions and shared so many great stories! Each room is so beautiful. There were so many interesting facts and things to see. The view of the river was breathtaking and must be even more so at sunrise or sunset!

Neat experience. Your guides were well informed and whatnot.

This Mansion is very historic and knowing the history behind it makes it all the more interesting. Located just a quick walk from the Capitol Building so you can do both in the same day. They have recently done some work to the grounds so hopefully there is no snow when you are there so you can enjoy the entire landscape. Fun fact the governor is not home very much 🤣

My family and I toured the governors mansion over spring break. Our guides were Debbie and Jeannine (apologies if the spelling is wrong!). These women made our experience at the mansion spectacular! They were so welcoming, carefree, easy going and fun. We love to learn about history and it doesn’t have to be all stiff and uptight when it’s being taught. These ladies had great stories to tell about the history of the house and had fun with us, as well. I absolutely recommend touring this beautiful bit of state history and I hope you have these ladies take you around to tell it to you!

Took the family to Murder on the Orient Express. This is a very nice facility clean and well maintained.

Awesome room. And definitely one of the cleanest and tidy stages in the area.

Great seating and wonderful place for a play or recital.

Do not go here for a magic show (Reza) and sit on the side balcony seats. Terrible view, and I have missed half the show trying to allow my daughter to be able to see and watch it. Reza was good, but the venue should close off these sections for shows like this.

Went for a school concert. The building was very nice.

Awesome!!! We just had the pleasure of watching the Gillam Family Illusions music show and was absolutely wonderful!! The venue was excellent and the show was a lot of fun. Top notch all around. We look forward to future performances at the theater, definitely a must see.

Wonderful small theater with local performances. The production of Momma Mia (2019) was great quality and I look forward to more shows there. Ticket prices are very responsible for the quality of programming as well. The theater is in an easy to access area of town directly off the highway.

The woods at Binder Park are lovely, and the trails are excellent for walking, running, or biking. There are multiple easy trails, and they wind for miles through the trees. The trails are popular for bikers, so if you are on foot, keep an eye out!

Great trails for a morning walk with my dog. The lake is very pretty.

The pictures on the website shows your Site look like your far away from the other site around you, but your closer. Nothing was clean. The bathroom and showers are extremely old and not clean. Spiders and rust everywhere. I noticed people were using filters on their water hoses. And you better bring a long hose since your sharing the water with another site and the water is not close. Do not use your GPS to locate the park unless your actually in Jefferson City. It's better to come off Hwy 50. We liked the Host, he was nice and it was very quiet. Has a lot of amenities around it if your looking to fish etc..No boating..

The park is very spacious with a beautiful lake and picnic areas. Lots of activities for the family and adequate parking areas.

Its a nice place. But, roads are terribly narrow. Had several close calls with people coming around corners in the middle of the road. So drive carefully because there isn't a shoulder on much of it. The fishing was poor. The lake was low and pretty dirty. A mother nature thing, I would presume.

Best place to spend calm and quality time. ... Really appreciate the people and municipality for maintaining wuch a clean and tidy lake 😍😍🙏🙏 Love from India

We had a Family/Friends outdoor event. This was the only place Park and Rec had available, and let me tell you, it was the perfect place! We had over 50 people to show up, and everyone had a great time. There is plenty of room for the children to run around, nice size BBQ pit! Bathrooms right near the pavilion. Reasonably priced.

One of the popular local attractions in Jefferson city. Ice creams were really cheap for the quality. Good value for money. In terms of taste, I would say they are not the tastiest I have eaten, but very good for what you pay. The location is good. It is crowded, I guess because of its popularity.

One of my favorite stops when traveling home to Jefferson City! The ice cream treats are top notch and very reasonably priced. There is a vast selection of sundaes, cones, banana splits to keep any ice cream lover very happy! My family has been coming here for many years and it's always delicious. It can get busy in the afternoons so you may need to wait in line, but it's oh-so-worth the wait. You will not be disappointed!

Nostalgia at its finest. Get a great treat for the family in the heart of the Midwest. Over 40 flavors of ice cream, shakes, sundaes and more. Priced right as to not break the bank for a refreshing family treat.

Central Dairy is a classic ice cream shop that’s been delighting Jefferson City residents for years. The scoops are generous, and the ice cream is rich and creamy. They offer a wide variety of flavors, from traditional vanilla and chocolate to fun seasonal options. The shop has a nostalgic feel, making it a perfect treat for families, kids, and anyone craving a sweet break. The friendly staff keep the line moving quickly, even on busy days. Stopping here is a simple pleasure that adds a touch of local charm to your visit.

Central Dairy is a local favorite for good reason! Their ice cream is deliciously creamy and comes in so many classic and seasonal flavors. The service is friendly and quick, making it a perfect spot to cool off on a warm day. The employees are really nice. The atmosphere is nostalgic and welcoming, giving you that classic small-town ice cream shop feel. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Jefferson City and craving a sweet treat!

Great 7 dollars banana split. Amazing

Unclean and dirty.The counters where you waited for purchase had melted ice cream. Ordered two vanilla malts. The malt machine had chocolate ice cream splattered against the front and back. A collection of towels were piled up in the area where the malt cup say. The girls who waited did not wear hair nets. One had long hair which was toes back but as she dipped deep to scoop the ice cream her hair touched the sides of the ice cream container. The girl who served us was not friendly. Did not even say thank you. The malt was OK. Way too thick. Had to let it sit for an hr before I could enjoy it. Very crowded so I suppose the locals are not used to anything else. My problem was how unclean the place was.

Things were a little slow this night we stopped. To be fair they had a large table of about 20. The tenderloin sandwich was really good in my opinion. The kids grill cheese though was really heavy and greasy. Daughter was not a fan. My wofe got the chicken Philly and the special sauce is a pesto blend.... not really what we thought it would be. The buffalo chicken dip had good flavor. But was made with whipped cream cheese. That made it really lite and fluffy. Again. Just not our thing. We will try again and try the burgers or pizza.

Everything was absolutely delicious. My aunt had a very awkward visit because 1 of the owners stood in the back and stared at her the entire time while she had her meal! That may be something he does, but he made her very uncomfortable!

This is one of the most unique brewery concepts I've seen. It plays well with the neighboring and now closed down Missouri State Penitentiary. The concept inside is fun and gives it a unique vibe different from other breweries. Beers were good. Food was decent.

I have always given good food reviews but I just can’t this time. Prison burger was tasteless and chewy. Breading on pork tenderloin sandwich was salty and greasy. Fries and homemade chips were overcooked, salty, and greasy.

I would rate the pizza here as the worst I've ever eaten in my entire life. It should be given a life sentence with no parole. Our BBQ pizza had multiple huge globs of fat on it and raw dough in the middle. The service was also terrible. I would rather serve a night in the slammer than eat here again.

We went here for dessert because there they seemed to have the best menu within walking distance of where we stayed, near the state penitentiary tours. We got the rootbeer float, "world's best chocolate cake" and cheesecake flights. Of the 4 people that ordered cake, everyone said it wasn't great, it was dry and only 1 person finished it, and they had ordered ice cream with it. Not recommended. We got 3 cheesecake flights and they weren't bad. The cherry and blueberry shooters were good but the other 2 were not cheesecake at all. I thought they weren't bad but 1 person thought the peanut butter was too rich. My nephew got the rootbeer float and wasn't happy. This was his 2nd rootbeer float of the day so he had something recent to compare it to. The other one came from Izzy's Burgers and Shakes on High street. We did get wings and chicken noodle soup to go and I was told that both were really good. The atmosphere was really fun and the service was good. I would go here again for food but definitely not for dessert.

We have been to Prison Brews many times and were satisfied with the service. However, this time was not the case. It was a Friday night around 5:45 pm when we arrived. First of all we walk in the restaurant and were asked if a table was ok because thats all they had open. We walked in there were two booths open but we were not seated at a booth. We were seated at a four top between two very large parties of 15+ people. We should of left then as that was an indication of what our service would be like. Not one minute after we were seated another group was seated at the booth. They were given drinks before a waiter even got to us. We sat there at least 15 minutes before waiter took our drink order. Another group came in 20 minutes after us and got their drinks and food before us. We waited at least 30 min for appetizer then 20 minutes for our food. There were 3 us and only 2 of us got our food. I had to wait an extra 15 more minutes for my food. My family was done with their meal before I got mine. Forget about refills of our beverages. The chicken philly sandwich I ordered was not what I thought it was going to be. It had pesto sauce on it and was not to my liking. We spent at least an hour and a half + here. I would say this was the worst service we have had at a restaurant in Jefferson City in along time. Very disappointed.

Nice gardens, I have to say, don’t make a trip solely for this, as it is just a small location, most of the fun will be found outside of it, but for what it is, a garden, it is beautiful and well put together.

Absolutely beautiful garden. An extension of the Governor's Mansion grounds. You can make reservations up to 1 year in advance for special events, or just stop by and enjoy. Edited to add photos of The Governor's Mansion nearby.

Located adjacent to the Capitol Complex, this garden has flowers, pools and walkways. It is commonly used for graduation photographs, according to my friend who brought us here. And yes, a few folks were taking pictures in caps and gowns today. After the death of Governor Carnahan, the Garden was renamed as a memorial to his work. There is street parking and the garden can be reserved through the Missouri Office of Administration.

This garden has a few pretty flowers and the lily pond is picturesque. We had expected a larger garden based on the description but enjoyed what was there.

Beautifully landscaped with great views of the terrain station, the Capitol and the Governor's Mansion

Beautiful place very clean and so peaceful

One of the best views of the Missouri State Capitol. Many photo opportunities available here including nature and family.

Hidden gem! We had to call and make an appointment but they were able to accommodate our group of 8. Cash only! This place is a lot bigger than it looks and has 4 floors full. I recommend checking out this place if you can.

For a nominal fee, just steps acros from the Governor's Mansion this little treasure has four accessible floors chalked full of local and Missouri artifacts. And you can even rent some of their space for special events!

Great museum and guided tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Loved it!

Great docents and many things to see.

Wonderful artifacts and knowledgeable toyrguudes.

Beautiful area to stop and take pics

Fun place

Beautiful monument! It was very informative and I plan on using it with my Lewis and Clark lessons this year w/ 4th grade Social studies.

a nice surprise that Lewis and Clark expedition was through here

Small, quaint, just a nice place to stop for a bit while touring the capital.

The Lewis and Clark Trailhead Plaza is a beautiful monument with more than 14 miles of trail stemming from it. Be sure to take a moment to reflect upon history and then explore the trails and other points of interest at the Capitol Complex.

Easy walking distance to/from multiple other memorials, Amtrak station, Capitol building, etc.

Under construction but really nice area. Weather was perfect so added to the scenery.

Beautiful sculptures commemorating the Lewis & Clark Expedition. An easy walk from the capitol building.

I went there with a group of women from Grace Evangelical Free Church, in order to paint bowls for the Salvation Army's auction, taking place later this summer. The walls were covered in beautiful artwork, in every medium you can imagine. It was exquisite!

Great little experience. Was hoping to see more art for sale by local artist.

Capital Arts is a non-profit art gallery that serves both arts and the local community. They host art classes for various age groups, have a kids' art station at the location (Imagination Station), art show receptions (with free food) and artist talks, and various fundraising events. Even if you are not an artist check them out and consider becoming a member!

Great experience at an art class. Great resource for the community with plenty of programs and activities for all ages.

Capital Arts is always having a great exhibit to view and it is a super venue to show one's art. Please check it out. Painting of Grand Champion Sir Von Reicher by artist Gail Lievian (left)...gallery manager Leanne Porello on right.

This is a beautiful art gallery. However I would not suggest to visit for research of art such as college art classes. The gallery did not have much of the art labeled with artist name, artwork title, medium used or size of art piece listed.

Wonderful nonprofit visual arts organization serving the community of Jefferson City. Quality rotating art exhibitions, year-round studio classes and several other programs that serve the area's visual arts needs.

our tour guide was one of the best. very knowledgeable. very easy to relate to

Larry did an outstanding job keeping the tour engaged. His knowledge and experience of the prison was very interesting. Loved every minute of the tour.

Worth a visit. Extremely friendly staff. Lots of interesting history on famous inmates as well. Would recommend.

We took the 2 hour tour and the guide did an awesome job. He actually worked there prior to when it was closed. Each building we went to was more interesting than the one before. But the ultimate was to sit in the actual gas chamber where 40 people were executed. What a powerful experience.

We enjoyed our tour and would definitely do it again. Kathy led our tour and was very knowledgeable. Lilly was our cat herder and kept everyone together. The buildings are a piece of history. It is sad that 2 of the buildings are closed due to tornado damage, but the 2 that are open huge. I would recommend the 3 hour tour and buy your souvenirs before the tour! They didn't tell us that they gift shop would not be open when we got done and were bummed to not get a souvenir.

Originally built to be the warden’s mansion, this museum is set up in the basement of this gorgeous home. Admission is included in the price of your tour of the prison or sold separately. It’s an amazing collection of memorabilia of historical events which occurred in the prison, but also display incredible pieces built, drawn, or otherwise crafted by the convicts housed by the prison.

I try to be fair when I'm doing reviews on places, I honestly don't know how to feel about this ghost tour we did from 11pm-2am. For one they only allow you access to three of the buildings. I honestly felt like there was entirely way to many people in the group. They said the best way to have a ghost encounter was to sit in total dark and silence. Well with 15-20 people in the group you weren't able to sit in pitch black nor have total silence. Usually you can feel when there is a presence around you, I didn't get that feeling at all. Second of all it was supposed to be a 3 hour ghost hunt. They told us to show up a 30 minutes early, yet they didn't do anything In that time. Instead they took the three hours we had to hunt and wasted time walking us to each building before turning us loose on our own. Which only gave us a little over an 1.45 to walk around. I actually got bored because nothing was happening. I'm not saying it's not haunted but I certainly didn't get that feeling that it was. I felt like $150 was a waste of money for 3 adults. I'm saying CAP!!

Love the city, beautiful buildings, when the weather gets cooler I will go there for along walk.

I didn't go into any of the shops as I didn't have much time. I walked downtown quickly and will definitely be coming back in the spring. Beautifully renovated buildings.

Beautiful small town America on bluffs overlooking Missouri River. Walking distance to state capitol with world famous Benton murals in House lounge free.

Too many offices, not enough shops. Good is meh

Wished I had more time to visit all the sites. Nice area.

Beautiful historic downtown with a nice mix of restaurants and shops.

Great times had here, by Jefferson City citizens....🔜

Such a hidden gem. Chris the Director was absolutely awesome and a great tour guide. You can tell how she enjoys sharing her knowledge. She provided so much background information on the artists and exhibits that it made the visit and viewing such a pleasure and a wonderful tour. Thank you so much Chris!!! If you have time, this is a very impressive art museum just a few blocks from the capital building and highly recommend when in Jefferson City. You have to make an appointment for a tour but not a problem to do. Only about 45-60 minutes for the tour and totaly worth it as it is also free.

Not huge, but high quality. Wonderful modern art right in downtown Jefferson City. Chris the museum guide does an outstanding job. Definitely worth a visit. Ideal for ages 8-108.

Fascinating, interesting place, had a good time.

not quantity but quality! Pervis young~

Very cool place. Currently have to have an appointment to get in, but well worth it.

A small but very nice.

Lots of history here..

Great place for family entertainment when conditions are right. Looking forward to positive outcomes and fine tuning of wonderful atmosphere. Treat yourselves and staff with respect while you are at the Mission as well as respect for your fellow man when you leave. Give Paige the opportunity to treat your experience with her personal touch of professionalism and attention to detail. Thank her for getting the wonderful cost efficient LED lights on the way to installation. This commitment to wise energy use is a prime forecast to a successful future for us all.

Quiet night at The Mission but the drinks are good and cheap and the open mic was pretty cool, thought “open mic” meant comedy but turns out it’s music. You’ve been warned.

he Mission is officially back open and running! The team has refreshed the space, and they are welcoming Jefferson City once again with great drinks, live music, and the same friendly atmosphere that has made this place a local favorite.

Beer is cold, ambiance is warm, atmosphere is cozy and music is good. What can go wrong? 🍻 I think this place is Jefferson City's only live music night club and Open Mic. Open Mic is on every other Wednesday. Cool place if you're a music lover.

We enjoy ourselves every time we go! Love all the live music and fun we have interacting with locals. Tonight we watched/listened to Sarah and Mark

Fantastic place with great selection of beer and great live music. Place to visit if you are in Jefferson City.

Great place for live music and awesome young talent!! Grab a drink and chill at this cute little bar!

Amazing dive shop. Great place to start your dive journey. From beginning to professional. If your diving local of diving abroad, Chris and his crew got you covered and all the gear you need they have you covered.

Only place to go for scuba. Great for family’s! Best prices and guaranteed to keep you safe.

Love my Scuba Family and always looking forward to our next scuba adventure. The staff at Scuba Adventure are very encouraging & patient. I had the BEST instructors.

Took 2 of my grandsons there for the “discover SCUBA” experience. The whole experience from initial contact to the actual class. The owner, Chris, made it an experience filled with interesting information and loads of fun for the boys (aged 14 and 15), but consistently checked on me to make sure I was doing fine, as well. He even took pictures for us when my camera wouldn’t work right. I highly recommend the experience, even if you never decide to certify. The price was reasonable — he spent nearly 5 hours with us — and we couldn’t have had a better time!

Scuba adventure has allowed me the opportunity to explore and enjoy places I could only dream of along with giving me access to explore outside the country for the first time Mexico and hopefully many other places to come

Great class and fun people. I was nervous to be doing the open water class alone and without a friend but everyone was super welcoming and made me feel completely comfortable.

Come learn to dive or travel the world with us! I assure you we are the most affordable and safest group around! Hope to see you all soon!

While they do have a decent mini golf course, they're lacking a great deal in customer service. While I understand they may have minimal competition when it ordering high school letterman patches, I don't think that excuses the poor quality of service. I ordered patches back in the beginning of September and was told up to 8 weeks. It's well past that time, and over sevral calls to the place, I have yet to be able to get in touch with anyone who knows anything about where the patches are. The one person, older gentleman that I have spoke with several times is a smart ass and very unhelpful. It's apparent however, that he's been allowed to treat customers that way as with each call in my trying to remedy the dilemma have been unsuccessful. I have tried numerous times to get in touch with the owner and/ or management and have been unsuccessful. If I hadn't already paid the almost 200 dollars for the patches, I would go some where else. In the future, I feel it would best to do so, even if the price would be higher then these guys and I will also recommend others go to someone else as well. To me good customer service speaks a great deal more then a small town business that continues to elude customer happiness.

The three of us came to play a mini golf the girl at the counter was super sweet, but the mini Golf was very disappointing. Needs a major maintenance to the holes.And the course itself trash everywhere the water holes were full of mucky. Yucky water and the course needed to be leaf blowed and cleaned the holders were broken.Couldn't even tell what hole you're on, because the numbers are broken. The fountain was not on, it's probably broken.

Nice course we'll taken care of. 24$ for unlimited golf with a cart. Perfect for working on your short game!

Great par 3 course for social golfing with my father and brother. With 2 9 hole courses (one is ADA) even a beginner can enjoy the game. Also, reasonable membership costs if you use course on a regular basis.

Turkey Creek is a lot of fun. The Par 3 course is great, the mini-golf is fun, the prices are reasonable and the drinks are good.

Went and enjoyed the miniature golf and loved it.

Probably the worst course I've ever played, like playing in a corn field

Such wonderful people run this theater! This is a nicely renovated historic downtown building with vintage atmosphere. Extremely comfortable seats. The venue is kind of like a large but cozy home theater setup with digital projector. In 2021, they are playing a classic or vintage movie every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm. I recommend a membership. CORK & Board is connected to the Capitol City Cinema. If you order food and/or drinks, you can take it into the theater while watching a movie (if you purchased tickets).

I’ve been there twice and both events were amazing! The atmosphere is intimate, but crazy, in a good way, at the Drag shows! Good energy from the entertainers and the crowds—no judgment! I would definitely recommend a night out that involves attending one of their events or a private event. I’m on the lookout for the show! Join me and let’s have some fun!!!

This place is absolutely amazing! It is one of my favorite places in Jefferson City. If you want a break from all the usually noise and you want to have a little class and live in your busy life, kick back and buy yourself a ticket at this theater. Grab a bowl of Rosemary popcorn, a fabulous appetizer and a class glass of wine. The place is amazingly decorated so the atmosphere is just another great part of the package. Great job! My hat is off to the owners. Thanks so MUCH for bringing art and diversity to little ole Jeff Town. Love love love!!

Love this little place. Old and unique movies. Nice atmosphere and seating. Can get alcohol and food at Capitol City Cork next door and bring it over. Fund raiser drag shows that are a blast. A unique local business.

We all know the following but it's worth repeating. If the movie start time is listed as 7 p.m. (for example), that's clearly not true. That's when 20 minutes of commercials begins. Yes, you paid to see the movie and have to sit through a bunch of ads. Then comes 15 minutes of previews. Those can be fun but remember, you can watch all of those online at your convenience. So the movie absolutely will not start before 7:35. But go ahead and arrive at 7:30 if you're worried about getting a good seat. What would it take to get more stars from me? Give me the real start time of the feature.

Small, clean and comfortable theatre. Cork next door shares access, making it easy to go from eating to the show. Worth it.

Quaint theater, very friendly employees and interesting movie selection. Nice job!

We absolutely love Paddy Malone's! We must've had a stroke of Irish luck, landing a parking spot right outside the quiet little building. The Guinness was spot on—'a properly poured pint!' as it should be. The Irish coffee was lovely, too. kI'd been dying for some good fish and chips, and these ones hit the spot. We also gave the Italian potato soup a go—proper hearty and filling. If you're ever in Jefferson City, this place is a must-visit!

Visiting from Chicago to visit family, they recommend your place. We were not disappointed. The outdoor deck dining area is great. Server was great. We ordered the Fish and Chips, Ruben Sandwich and Shepherds Pie. Great place!

Wow. Simply wow. I have reviewed and eaten at hundreds of places on this journey. I just had one of the best burgers of my life. The service here is top notch, quick, friendly, and attentive. If you want a perfect pour of Guinness, this is your place. Do yourself a favor and make the effort to stop in here for a drink and a dynamite bite of food.

Paddy’s is literally the best. I’ve lived in a lot of different places but we just moved to Jeff City. I feel like I’ve been searching for the best Irish bar for a looooong time and I’ve finally found it in Paddy’s. The food is amazing and authentic and I definitely think about those mushy peas atleast once a day. The atmosphere is cozy and warm inside and out. Don’t forget your dog because the patio is heated and pet friendly. The crew they have there is friendly, patient and kind. Happy to say I’ve finally found my local haunt.

Great atmosphere. Perfect decor. Nice little Irish pub here. Onion rings and fries come in huge portions. 16 beers on drought, but there's only Guinness for me. If this spot was back home I'd come here at least twice a week. Will return here every time I'm up this way. Friendly staff that tends to their patrons with service and care.

This bar has the best vibes. Very welcoming and inclusive. Staff is friendly and the decor is perfect. And they serve summer shandy on tap!

The Shepherd's Pie is great cold weather comfort food and feeds at least two people. I also love the Paddy Melt on wheatberry bread. The beer is served in fabulous heavy glasses. The service is always good, and the atmosphere is quintessential neighborhood Irish pub.

Our grandson was a cast member of Little Women. It is a small venue with seating of about 100. We were very close to the players. The cast did a fantastic job with this musical adaptation.

Little Women was a great play. Everyone did a great job.

You will love it! A small piece of gold! You must check out the place if you like the atmosphere of a small theater and want to laugh, cry or both .

Scene One is an awesome place to see modern live theater by talented local performers, including original works, in an intimate setting! Check out their new location on Ohio Street!

I saw a recent production of Evil Dead, which was fantastic. The venue is intimate, and the staff and supporters truly care about the community. A great place to have some fun while supporting local theatre.

This black box theater is a gem. It always entertains, challenges or surprises - most times all three! Your imagination wants to go. Take it to Scene One.

Wonderful actors. Fun atmosphere. Always nice to see plays written by local playwrights.

I have three stars as it’s a good movie theater and they have great deals with the popcorn. However it’s the first time in 3 years and I must say the seats are disgusting. I really wish the would get new seating. The floors are also very worn down. Other than that it’s a great theater. Also please tell the kids working that standing around chatting with friends isn’t a good to when there is lines. The bathroom trash was so full you couldn’t even push down the tissues bc it was overflowing so bad. I was kinda embarrassed to post photos due to the seats.

I recently visited this establishment and was quite disappointed with the service I received. The staff member I encountered was exceptionally rude, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Despite my intention to make a purchase, I felt unwelcome and almost as if I was being discouraged from spending my money there. The interaction was strange and off-putting, making me question whether I would ever want to return. She was so exctremly tude to everyone coming into the building i would like to see her fired.

Went to see Sinners. The movie is freaking awesome! A must-see, the theater not so much. It's dated, and the seats need lots of attention. The head rest are worn. To be the only theater in town, they are not putting the money back into the business. A+ for the movie only, and 2 stars for theater!

The two ladies working tonight (one a young blonde and the other an older brunette) could do with a lesson on respect. Me and my three friends came in to watch How to Train Your Dragon and me and my one friend had a brief “fight” over who was going to pay, but was handled quickly. I spaced on the name for the movie when trying to say how many tickets I’d need for it, and the brunette said “she doesn’t even know which movie it is” while cleaning the counter. Like hello? That was extremely rude. When we walked in the lobby was completely empty, and the exchange was short, yet the staff acted as if we’d totally ruined their night by coming in. When I went to pay I used a $100 bill and she (the blonde) sighed and rolled her eyes. I didn’t realize that simply doing your job would be too much to ask for.

Hark! I did venture forth to this establishment, which they do call a "moving picture house," and found myself grievously disappointed. The very air within was thick with a most unseemly stench, not unlike a privy unemptied for a fortnight. And the seats, by my troth, were so stiff and unyielding that my very bones did ache as if I had been tossed from a carriage. Furthermore, the "picture" itself was but a fleeting shadow, at times so dim I scarce could discern the figures upon the screen, and at others so blurred as to give one a headache of the most fearsome sort. The rumblings and clatter that issued from the machinery were quite enough to drown out any sense of the dialogue, leaving one to guess at the very meaning of the spectacle. And as for the "refreshments" – a paltry offering of burnt popcorn and a watery beverage, both priced as if they were imports from the Indies! I declare, I would sooner spend my pence on a proper pint of ale at the tavern and listen to a minstrel play, for at least then my ears and purse would not suffer such indignities. A pox upon this place! Avoid it, good sirs and madams, as you would the plague.

Ended up being pretty disappointed after trying to watch Paranorman in 3D. The picture was terrible, the movie was NOT 3D and due to the blurry imagery it made it impossible to keep watching (yes we ALL had our glasses on). At first I thought that Laika did a bad job converting it to 3D. Halfway through the movie I spoke to the kids working behind the counter. They sent someone into the projector room to fix it and the rest of the movie was in 3D. But to pay $74 on tickets to only get half the experience because of technical difficulties?!

Very stinky and musky smell. Seats are really worn. Everything is outdated. It smells like urine in the seats. Pick a different movie theater

Great place for a family picnic, BBQ, or an afternoon at the park. Best place to wax a new car in the shade in Jeff City!! Love those big clouds over the river..

Great venue. The Amphitheater offers close parking, a cozy environment for a concert.

We were in town and wanted to go for a walk. I picked this place because Maps said it was near the river. I didn't see any trails near the river but I saw the river at one point. Meandering paved paths take you from bright sun to shaded areas for relief. There are a few hills that definitely give your calves a slight burn going up. The park is very well maintained as far as the grass. However, the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. At 1 picnic table we saw cans of soup left behind. Then, on the other side of the park, on a bench, were 2 steaks either cooked and left or cooked by the sun! Either way, that's disgusting. There was a bottle of BBQ sauce in the grass so maybe somebody was abducted by aliens JUST as they were about to eat? We'll never know. Those picnic tables have an extra shelf up above and have little roofs for protection... genius. It's a shame people can't pick up after themselves and appreciate what the City has provided for them.... instead of apartments or concrete, there's nature!

It's a beautiful park and a little swimming pool. It has several paved paths to follow if you are looking for a great place to walk.

Awesome facilities my wife and I took a lady friend of ours from Villa Marie there and had a Memorial Day picnic it was wonderful very nice place

Grandkids loved the playground! Great place for Birthday parties!!

Really nice park. Has swimming pool, basketball court, and playground. Had a nice view of the river as well.

There is plenty of parking and the Ice Arena has plenty of seating. The young people performing their routines were so skilled and enjoyable to watch. The music was outstanding. The snack area had a great selection and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Been to this rink a couple of times. It is a nice rink with large locker rooms and a lot of spectator space. I did the scoresheet two games and the staff running the clock were extremely nice. My son said the ice was good and didn’t have any issues. They did have a ref one game that was extremely whistle happy and called some penalties that were a big stretch but it went both ways so you deal.

We went here to skate over winter break. The price is right for entry and rentals. For the little ones, they do rent “skate helpers,” but they don’t have many available. We also watched the MIZZOU team play a home game here. It was very crowded when we went, but it was still fun.

It’s a COOL place to go. We don’t go often since it’s out of town and expensive (for us) and there are limited hours… but every time we do go, we all have a good time. I don’t think we’d want to stay much more than the 90 min that was offered this particular session, but it would be nice for at least half hour longer. I recommend dressing in layers, though I didn’t need long sleeves, gloves, hat. Some people in our party were very chilly and did keep on hoodie and gloves and thicker pants.

Nice arena, great family activity. The haunted skate was a lot of fun!

We enjoyed ourselves, kids first time, a few spills but overall they enjoyed! Another first timer, 5years later, still enjoying ourselves.

I grew up on the ice so having a place so close to me here now that I've moved that's affordable and available often makes me very happy! Cant wait to join the adult league haha

A fun place to have a birthday party for your kids! Great for all ages! We did run into an issue of disorganization where they did not have me down for a birthday room when I had booked it months in advance, but they did fix the problem by allowing us to claim tables near the concessions and comped the entire birthday party. The owner was also nice enough to let myself and my daughter come in on a Sunday morning so she could do her birthday photo shoot. I am giving it 4 stars for the organization issue and double booking but, I am grateful for how the situation was handled! We will be back again :)

Had our daughters birthday party there. Cost for large room & 10 kids is $160

One of the few places in 2024 that JC that kids can really go enjoy. They also have fair sized reservation rooms for birthday parties and such. There could be a little more organization, but overall a great amenity for the community.

I was there and they have a 7 and under area and my friend she is 11 she just started skating and we were playing tag and they came and said we can’t then they came back and said that we can’t be over there it is not are age so my friend had to go to the big floor where a lot of people were

Always a great time, they play games and free skate. Snack bar and prizes.

Took daughter for first time, it was wonderful to find a small first time skaters rink to warm up on:)

Held the kiddos birthday party here. Kids had a blast. Very loud music and even though we had an event room it was still loud. No plugins in the even room so those who choose not to skate wanted to plug in electronics but couldn't.

My husband and I got a couples massage for Valentine’s Day, it was great experience! We both left saying “why haven’t we done this before” and decided to make it a regular wellness activity. The staff were very kind, and had several promotions available.

This spa and salon is wonderful, I never got to do the salon part besides my nails trimmed and cleaned up. They did a wonderful job, everyone was nice and professional. They try to make you as comfortable as possible, and as they go try to accommodate for your every need. I enjoyed the massage and the facial, as well as the soothing music that they played. I kept almost falling asleep because it was so relaxing. If you never tried something like this I recommend trying it at least once. This was my first time trying a place like this, and I miss it already.

I had both a pedicure & massage that were amazing. Such a relaxing ambience & cheerful staff. I would of left 5 stars but the last couple massages i had scheduled were cancelled last minute, but they did make it worth while & now i found a great masseuse.

Emma did my Swedish massage and it was absolutely wonderful! They were attentive to the areas I expressed concern about before we began and able to help me relax to let go of some of the tension I carry in my shoulders. Thank you, Emma!

This was my first pedicure. My kids gave me this for my birthday. I was very impressed. I highly recommend getting a pedicure if you never had one, especially from Riversong.

Love the great service at the Jefferson City location. Relaxing atmosphere and all the staff are so helpful and accommodating. Strongly recommend. I love the facial and deep tissue massage.

Katie is amazing! She is super patient with me and answers all of my questions. She makes every visit into more than just a service. Thank you Katie! I value you!

It was nice. I liked that the water fountain at the pavilion also had a spout to fill water bottles. The playground appeared to be well kept.

Very clean, small playground, busy lot around 5pm. Well taking care of

Should not have torn down pavilion with the restrooms.

Nicely tucked away near the airport.

We watched the solar eclipse here. The Totality was is perfect view here. A group of 3 of us were camping and all of the volunteers and staff were the friendliest. I even enjoy the locals. Hospitality is superb. The scenery is hilly and very green.

There were no restrooms available. They have some sort of garden park on one side and a playground on the other side of the road that are beautiful but if you have no restrooms available for the kids \nd you have to pack up and go for that reason well then it's not a place i would revisit

This area is close to the Katy Trail and has plenty of wide open space for many activities. There is a pavilion and new playground located on site. Seasonal maintained and operated bathroom facilities are available.

I hadn't played here in several years, and my sister was visiting for a few days, so I decided to use Oak Hills as our first round of the week. Unfortunately, they were aerating the greens while we were playing, so there were only a few greens that weren't ridiculously bumpy and slow, and I was disappointed they didn't inform us of that (and perhaps offer a discount) when we booked and/or signed in. But, tis the season, so we know there is always a risk in the spring. The course was very green due to all the rain, and much of the rough was so long that I lost 4 balls in the rough. I know, I know, it wouldn't have been a problem if I had hit it in the fairway, but there are a lot of holes where that's easier said than done, as many fairways have slopes that cause even good tee shots to run into the rough. And there are several blind tee shots also. But all in all, I think this is a pretty good municipal course, and while it looks very short on the card, even for a par 70, you'll want to bring your straight game!

We played in a. mwga senior ladies event at this course the second week of June. I received several texts the day before that when people got there to play their practice round, the course was closed without notice to anyone. Had they texted the appropriate contacts for our tournament, we could have made alternate arrangements for our players. Instead, they were left trying to drive around and find tee times at other places. Actually, all of the other courses in the area were open except for this one and were not even cart path only. On the day of the event, we arrived and were told the course was soaking wet, that it would be cart path only and that they had strongly been considering closing the course for the day. I was astounded because this was a state tournament, and they gave no credence to the fact that we had women coming from all over to play in this. I asked about handicap flags for women who normally use those anyway, and was told they would not be available and they would have to do their own walking. There was no one available to help bring bags from the parking lot around the building to the back where carts were staged for the tournament. However, players' names were not readily seen, so players were walking all over trying to carry their heavy golf bags to carts that weren't marked except for one sign every other cart on the steering wheel. I got a printed list of hole numbers from the pro shop and attempted to help the women find the carts where they belonged. They did not help us do this in any way. When we got out on the course, we found it to be in nice condition, with no standing water and no mud anywhere. The only thing was heavy dew on the grass at the beginning of the day. There was absolutely no reason that the course should have been cart rpath only, and if it was in the morning, it should have been changed within an hour or two because it was dry. Especially for a course that does not have cart paths throughout the entire course, telling people to be cart path only and then having your carts turn off when you leave the cart path when there is none is ridiculous. Tee boxes were poorly marked, several people were lost and driving around looking for the next tee box. There need to be signs for people who come and are not familiar. Other than that, we had a great play day. It was beautiful weather, and had the course been properly marked and properly flagged for the day's conditions, we would have had a nice time. As it was, many of the women could not walk in the severe Hills and that left the one or two people on their team who could walk to retrieve balls for everyone all day long and it was very exhausting. Had it not been for these other conditions that were not necessary to have during this tournament I would have given 4 stars.

Worst golf course ever. Someone keeps cutting the grass around the tees I play, need to stop and wait. Being yelled at by an old white female. Booked 18 tees, but only played 3 and left

This is a short course with some narrow fairways that are sometimes hard to hit. I can't tell you how many times I've missed the fairway on 13. Hole 2, 4, and 10 are all reachable from the tee. Hole 16 and 17 were redesigned and are fun to play. Look for opportunities to eagle 17. 15 is also a good hole and has been redisgned. I like the tiered green on hole 9. Course management is key. In the fall, there are plenty of leaves to contend with. My ball tends to hide under them on the fairway. They recently installed GPS on the carts, which provide hole information and distance info. These devices can be annoying, and I rarely use them to keep my score because of their buggyness. They are also not useful for distance information, in my opinion. This tends to be the case with all of these devices, irrespective of the course. It has a chipping and pitching area that's pretty nice for working your approach shots. The clubhouse is unspectacular but decent.

Oak Hills is a challenging course with great staff! Stephanie, Becky Mary and all the rest are awesome!!! Played in the 2023 Dreams to Reality Tournament & had an absolute blast... as always!! This is a great time in a great course!!! Can't go wrong playing here!!

Always a great course. Well maintained and fun to play. I suck at golf but still doesn't keep me from the driving range or putt matt or pitching mat. Course is set up with 18 holes or you can play 9. 45 right now for course plus cart. Must be over 16 for cart rental tho. Have a great one!!! Oh you can buy used clubs too that's how I got my set.

Serious long grass, will break your weists

Nice course. Good exercise with throwing and walking the ups and downs of the course. It was my first time. I wanted to learn and by the end started getting the hang of it. However, going around trees and aiming for a basket I couldn't see was interesting.

Sporadically maintained. I stepped on a hawthorn thorn that went through my shoe and into my foot. The first 6 or so holes are really wooded and hard to even see the baskets until you are use to the course.

The good, there is a good mix of straightforward holes and technical holes. Its easy to get to. The bad, the maps that show hole lay out are terrible, and some of the pin placements do not have a line. The trees are so tight with unfortunate placement the its not realistic for a disc to fly in such a way to approach the basket without 100% hitting a tree or using multiple lay ups.

2 great courses. Front course is wooded, well layed out not to many hazzards. The dam course is mostly uphill for the 1st 9 holes, then nice wooded flowing back 9. There is one water hazard on this course.

Great Wooded course. Benches on every hole. It's a great course for a lazy round of disc golf. Love it!...

Good course. Last time there were missing tee signs. Poorly laid out until you know the course. Mostly less than 400' holes. All par 3.

Great verity of shots on the disc golf course, elevation, wooded, technical,and straights. Long and short baskets, couple novelty baskets.

McKay Park was the first city park I went to when I first moved to Jeff City and I think it's a good one. It's not where you go for long canopied hikes, or wildlife encounters (other than fishing) but it is exactly the kind of park you go to for a picnic, to take the kids to play, to have a BBQ, sit on a bench and watch the birds or sunrise, or to go fishing. It's also dog friendly and has a really nice little walking loop around with lake with high visibility and all paved. I was amazed that it was such an easily accessible, stocked, fish-able public park, and that's certainly one of the major draws.

This is a simply gorgeous park and lake right inside Jeff City! It includes a wonderful paved walking path all around the lake where you'll likely see many geese ( and a couple of faux swans). In fact, you'll need to dodge the goose dung on the sidewalk. The park is beautifully maintained with many varieties of flowers and trees. It contains numerous benches and a great playground area for the kids. This park makes me wish I lived nearby but we were just passing thru for one night.

My kids and I love this park! It has one of the best play grounds. I also love taking walks on the trail that surrounds the beautiful Sunset Lake.

This park is a gem. Centrally located, clean and well maintained restrooms, great playgrounds, plenty of parking, quality walking track, and best of all, the FISHING! Kids and adults alike are in for a good time! Edit* They have one of the cold water dispensers like in schools! Absolutely clutch on hot summer days- just refill your container as needed!

Park was great. Playground equipment was all in good working condition. Only issue we had was the hill to the playground. Needs a blocker so you don't fall down the hill. Way too steep for littles.

It's a nice park. It seems well kept and clean. There is a paved walkway that goes all the way around the pond and a nice play area for the kiddos. The pond itself is a bit shallow for fishing and we only managed to catch a couple of sunfish, an under water tree, and I hooked a Cattail. Darn! There is a pretty steep walkway to one of the parking lots. It would be nice if it had a handrail.

McKay Park is probably the best all-around walking park in Jefferson City. While it doesn’t necessarily excel in any single category, it offers a great balance of features that make it a go-to spot for walkers and runners alike. The scenery is pleasant, the elevation stays fairly consistent, and the loop is just about 1 kilometer. Perfect for anyone who likes to track their distance with ease, including me. I frequent there and have tried my hand at fishing ( I think id best stick to walking though).

Had a great time with second Christian Church Valentine's women ministry party they gave gifts raffles food was great dancing and everybody was courtesy and nice

I had never been here until last week for a friends wedding and it was perfect. The park has lots of space for activities and hosting a weddings. The pavillion is large and there was a serving area below the pavilion that couldn't be better!

Hello everyone! We were with a family with small children at the end of November. We really enjoyed. Nice place to spend time with family. Recommend.

My littlest one (almost 2yo) has a bit of trouble navigating some of the obstacles in this playground. But the older kids enjoy it. We found on our last trip there's an area with a large long table that could be great for crafting, and a large fire pit. Requires permit to use, however.

Scenic little park. Good view of Capitol rotunda and surrounding city. Wooded trail and newer child playground with padded flooring.

Very very hard to find. The GPS directions need to be updated for this park!!! Once there the facility was very nice and clean. The park had a few more unique play things that I don't normally see. I like that. My kids had a blast here.

Love McClung Park! Great little event area, wonderful playground, outdoor pavilion, great parking! The only real downside for me is the primitive restrooms, however, better than no restrooms!

lol. The fact that this city is purgatory and there’s nothing to do and they set up a pay wall for a janky little dog park is nuts to me. Literally who pays 3$ to use a park absolute joke of a city. Absolute greed. anyone who was involved with pay walling a dog park needs to be exiled to an island far away.

Great dog park by the highway, with water and courses to entertain dogs. Bigger in person, with a good perimeter to walk and stretch your legs

Awesome place to take your dog! You need to register your dog at The Linc before entering the park and it's only like $2 a month to bring them anytime! Love having the freedom to run your dog off leash!

Cool park! Unfortunately if you’re visiting and no one is there, it needs a code! I was visiting from out of town thought I’d let my pups out to stretch their legs. It’s $2/month per dog. Which is great! Unless there’s no way to pay that. It’s a large park though!

We used to love taking our big dog to this park, plenty of space to run and benches under trees to rest at, and usually a pretty good crowd of regulars. Unfortunately we stopped going because more and more people would bring their very small dogs (and even young children, toddlers, and babies) to the big dog side. My dog is friendly with dogs his size, bigger, and a little smaller - but he is a rescue who had a traumatic first 3 years in a house with a little dog and does not react well to or with small dogs. We had to leave so many times because people refused to take their small dogs to the small dog side or even try to keep their dogs from bothering ours when we asked. For their dogs safety and for our dogs safety we would be the ones to leave. And there were many times where we drove all the way out there only to find that we could not go in because of small dogs. It is such a shame, our dog really loved that park.

the park is closed must have membership to get in very misleading don’t go

I love this place. Every dog owner who comes is so friendly and always embraces the other dogs. The same dogs come every day, so you get familiar with their names and owners. I love the hose and water bins in the middle where the dogs can get wet and drink water! I also love the bin with toys for the dogs! It's overall an amazing place! I gave 4 starts because I don't like the wood-chip area. My dog always leaves with a lot of woodchips and mini sticks in his hair. That's the only downfall to this place.

Absolutely amazing! Went in not realizing they closed at 2 but was still able to shop and get some stuff. The owner is super kind. They have so much incredible art worth buying! Will definitely be back. The prices also for it being local artist and handmade items are very reasonable. HIGHLY recommend!

A local artist supported, small, store selling original pieces ranging from the standard wooden kitchenware, photo prints and woven baskets to jewelry, wool knitting and glassware. I hadn't been back to this place for several years and while some of the artists are new, the types of products and quality are the same. It's worth a stop but it's small and very much in the realm of local craft/art.

Love the Art Bazaar in Jefferson City check it out they have a great selection of artwork.. Clara has her beautiful dyed silk scarves handmade purses and handmade tissue holders great gifts for Christmas or a birthday . The gallery is a Co-op so each day meet the artist .

This is a great shop selling crafts from local artisans instead of from China like so many others in the area. You can find a gift for just about anyone here and something for yourself too.

The lady who runs it, Cindy, is awesome! The paintings are fun and she is a great instructor who helps when needed!

I always enjoy the Art Bazaar! It's the perfect place to find unique treasures on a rainy Saturday.

Such a FUN night here! The ladies were so knowledgeable and encouraging. Anyone of any skill level can succeed!

I had never been there and really enjoyed a quick respite while in town.. Watched the Train roll by and enjoyed the cool breeze off the Missouri River.. The interesting facts, pictures and stories told on the plaques made me appreciate the history of the Bridges all the more..

We come here every Christmas to take a family photo.
