Steven Wooters: Well preserved battlefield and surrounding area. Nice visitors center with film and excellent dioramas. The largest collection of long guns, pistols and edged weapons I've seen at a battlefield, the two gun carriages are excellent.

Jano: What a wonderful place to learn about a terrible part of American history.The museum was incredible.A true must see for anyone traveling to the Springfield, Missouri area.Whether you walk the trails or drive through it is a great place for all.They gave my 11 year old nephew a bunch of badges for filling out a pamphlet/booklet that they provide. It is a very interactive place for kids as well as adults.Restrooms: Very clean !Picnic area: Plenty of shaded areas to picnic at tables under big shade trees right by the parking area.

Katie Child: This was a really cool stop. There's no admission fee. The visitor center had great exhibits, and the driving loop was really neat. There was a thunderstorm on the day we visited, and the thunder sounded exactly like cannons, which made it feel like we stepped back in time and could hear the battle going on in the distance.

Jarrod Bruther: We went to the museum first and watched the 30 minute movie. I highly recommend doing that before you tour the battlefield. It helps you understand what you are looking at.

Steven Maurer: Very nice exhibit layout, both in the museum and the grounds.

Lenora Watkins: This is a really nice park will special programs throughout the year. Nice trail to walk or ride bikes. And its free enjoy

Alex Hennis: Very well taken care of. The grounds were well manicured. The roads and trails are weak kept, too. It's a nice place for a picnic.

Jack Carello: Very Awesome Experience! It was a great experience to learn all the history! It was awesome to take in all the beautiful views. Without any doubt going to Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield is a great opportunity to take advantage of!

Jake: We stopped here on a whim on the way back home expecting a small site with some information boards. We were excited to find a robust education center staffed with knowledgeable historians. If you can, try to pick Park Ranger Ken Elkin's brain. The guy is a font of knowledge.

Stortz Wellness Intentional Living: Drove up from Branson to check out the battlefield. The visitors center is newer and done really well. We watched the 28 minute film which explained a lot and then toured the visitor center. We then did the 5 mile loop. It would have been fun on bicycles and reminds me a bit Cade’s cove in the smokies. We drove the loop and walked to the historic spots. Some were neat and others not much to see. Definitely stop at least at the ray house and the bloody hill battlefield.Nice guided tour of the Ray house and learned a lot. Be sure to check yourself for small ticks. We found several on each of us on our time there. Bring some water and walking shoes as well.
