I went to this site specifically to compare the with the Dampier site in St. Louis. The vistior center is exceptional. They offer a mini scaled version of the site to give an overview. There is a short video about the people who lived here and there is a large amount of interactive stations for yourger visitors. I had the... More

Great place to take the kids for a no expense afternoon out.

There is a museum and areas to tour with a guide. Only problem was that I couldn't get any cell phone service. Neither could the other two in my party.

The mounds are enticing. We loved the climb to the... More

This is one of the most incredible sites anywhere in the world - looking at the huge earthen mounds, it is hard to imagine the Native Americans building these with basket-loads of dirt on their backs. There is a huge variety of things to do also, depending upon how long you have and how much you want to do. You... More
