Love Exploring ranked the most overrated attraction in the Show-Me State, and the Branson Scenic Railway took the top spot. While visitors love the nostalgic ride on the old Ozark Zephyr, many say the views from the train aren’t that impressive, mostly just dense forest, with not much else to see.

Other Overrated Missouri Attractions

Also in Branson, the Shepherd of the Hills attraction seems to be one you can skip the next time you’re in town. And as grand and spectacular as it is, and despite being a major part of Missouri’s history, the Gateway Arch is often seen as a one-and-done experience. Many visitors say that once you've been there, you don’t really feel the need to go back again.

If you find yourself planning a Missouri staycation this summer, you might want to skip these attractions and look for something a little more exciting to experience.
