Joplin has a huge range of things to see and do. You’ll of course want to cross off the big-name attractions, but you also shouldn’t miss the surrounding prairies that Missouri is renowned for. Our advice is to choose something that will take you from urban jaunts to lengthier journeys, like a standard car. Pick up your ride from Joplin, MO Airport (JLN-Joplin Regional), drive the 5 miles to the city center, and explore to your heart’s content. When you’ve finished, get out of the city limits and soak up Mother Nature. Just remember to send us some postcards on the way.
