The 92,000-square-foot facility offers traditional museum displays as well as giant aquariums.

There is a treetop free-flight aviary where live birds and hands-on exhibits await you. Don't miss a close up look at the American Bald Eagle habitat that has been added to the Walk in the Woods display. Go past river otters and bobcats to see the beaver and ducks that swim on the surface of the 140,000-gallon fresh water aquarium that is a re-creation of their habitat found at Table Rock Lake.
Tue. June 24th: A trip to Fantastic Caverns
A trip to Fantastic Caverns is scheduled. The fee is $18 for Adults & $10 for Children 6-12 It's a one hour drive through the beautiful caverns. Bring a jacket or sweather if you plan on going here. The temperature stays around 60 degrees all the time. The process that created southern Missouri's caves - called a "cave factory" by one geologist - began a very long time ago. Cave formation has been going on in the Ozarks since seismic activity pushed the rocks up from a shallow sea that once covered the region. While it is difficult to tell the exact age of a cave, we know that Fantastic Caverns is sure to be thousands of years old. The hilly topography and abundant limestone, found in the Ozarks make it an ideal setting for cave formation. Just add water and the list of ingredients is complete. As the water percolates through the porous limestone, it chemically eats away at the rock, leaving the voids and cavities that grow into caves - some of which are quite extensive. Some Missouri cave systems are known to be more than 20 miles long. Visitors find Fantastic Caverns to be a spectacular showcase of our state's underground phenomenon - located here in the heart of the Ozarks.
Wed. June 25th: Business Meeting & Banquet
USS SLC CA25 Association Members Business Meeting at 10 A.M. – Pictures Taken…. Etc. We want to give "YOU" the opportunity to organize and run a reunion for the USS SLC CA25 Association.
