It's a fair statement to say that Missouri is not known for ice skating. Perhaps that's a mistake as there are many epic destinations and I've found one of the best to prove the point.

This will hopefully save you some time. If you don't currently live in Missouri, but are considering it, this helpful guide will give you an understanding about why that's a very bad idea. Really.

If you're a spelunker, you can travel the world, but you'll only find one specific cave formation and it's hidden inside a cavern in Missouri.
