If a ranking of the US most popular states was done, anyone can tell those which will be at the top and the ones that will go to the bottom. You cannot expect Missouri to be in the top five but it doesnt mean it will be at the bottommost part either. It is number 31. The ranking cannot take away the many things you can do at Missouri. You will have it all in Missouri ranging from history and natural beauty to family-friendly attractions. One of the must-visit places in Missouri is the Gateway Arch, St. Louis. It features a mid-century modern design. You can check out the museum housed by the building and if you want to get a ride to the top there is a tram that will take you there in just 4 minutes. This is the tallest structure in the whole country that is man-made raising 30 feet above the ground. This arch gives every visitor some information about mid-western history. If you want to know about the founding fathers of Missouri then the museum will serve the purpose. The arch was completed in 1965 and two years later the tram ride was started. Every visitor who rides to the top will have scenic views over St. Louis on clear days. After your visit at the arch, you can get into a riverboat ride to experience the water travel back in the 1800s.
