What's Fun around Springfield?

A medium-sized city like Springfield is full of cool things to do.

Most EU students like to take advantage of the beautiful Ozarks landscape by camping, caving, hiking, or spending time at one of the area lakes. And a Friday night wouldn't be complete without a trip to Andy’s Frozen Custard, the Palace $2.50 movie theatre, or grabbing a cup of coffee at the Mudhouse. Others find that they can't get enough of the Springfield-style cashew chicken.

You'll find activities on this list that will become favorite weekend pastimes. With Springfield's central location, you also have access to a number of great attractions outside the city limits. Branson is a quick drive south on Highway 65 with a variety of fun to fill Saturday downtime.
