Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center - The Conservation Campus Nature Center Is located within Cape Girardeau's North County Park and showcases the rich cultural history and diverse natural resources of Southeast Missouri.
Bollinger County Museum of Natural History - Located in the town of Marble Hill, Missouri, the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History houses a stunning collection of natural history specimens and artifacts from Missouri and the world.
Bootheel Youth Museum - The Bootheel Youth Museum in Malden, Missouri, offers children exciting, inventive, and educational fun! Where else can you stand inside a bubble, "freeze" your shadow on a wall, write a check at the bank, or make music on sewer pipes?
