The Grand Country Theater is offering substantially discounted tickets to see their Amazing Pets Show. The only catch is that the tickets are being offered to show appreciation to area residents. The admission price is being reduced to $5 for residents of most counties in the southwest Missouri area during the week of June 2-7, 2008. Regular admission prices can range from $15, for kids ages 4-17, up to $29 for adults. That means that $5 is quite a steal.
My 5 year old nephew saw the show on a school field trip last year and loved it! Even though I am a 40 year old grown up, the Amazing Pets Show is definitely on my “to-see” list.
Here are a few pointers when ordering the tickets at the “Area Appreciation” rate:
- Be sure to let them know that you are an area resident when you are ordering the tickets
- I believe that all area appreciation tickets MUST be picked up at the box office at least one hour prior to the show
- A photo id with your current address is required to retrieve the tickets.
Enjoy the Show!

A few years back, I discovered one of Springfield’s best-kept secrets. Fun Acre is what I consider an “old-school” miniature golf course. While many newer places offer sleek and seemingly uncluttered courses, Fun Acre has the more traditional “obstacles.” These include such things as windmills, rising and falling bowling pins, and so much more. Personally, I find the newer miniature golf courses utterly boring and plain, yet more expensive. Fun Acre is one of the cheapest frills in Springfield. Yesterday, I invited my two nephews to join me in an 18-hole game. The grand total for ALL of us to play, was a surprisingly low 4 bucks! Adults can play for only $2, while children ages 5-11 play for $1, and children under 5 are free. Honestly, there aren’t very many places in Springfield where 3 people can be entertained for only $4. My nephews have played on several different mini golf places in the Kansas City and Springfield areas, including many newer ones. Fun Acre was their favorite by far!
Fun Acre is located at 2800 S. Campbell, just behind the Old Town Shopping Center/ Ozark Treasure’s Flea Market. They offer batting cages as well!
