    I was in our Goodwill store on S. Kansas in Springfield, MO. today. It is well-lit and clean…read more However..... 1) The isles are too close together. You can hardly meet a person without getting your cart over under the right side rack of clothing. And don't even think about meeting another cart. 2) They need to remember why thrifting became popular in the first place. There really isn't any need to go to a thrift store if their items are priced like those in an antique mall. Just go to the antique mall. 3) Price have been rising for some time at Goodwill stores. I will NOT buy an item there that I can get brand new at local stores. 4) All items are donated. They keep the very best items to sell at their On-line stores. They make a big profit on those items. I don't believe that it's necessary to gouge the working class. There are many people, like me, who love to browse in these stores looking for antiques. Some people shop Goodwill to replenish the shelves of their booths at local Antique Malls and Flea Markets. But the majority of people who shop there do it out of necessity . They need to cloth their families and furnish their homes. It just isn't fair of Goidwill to gouge these people with rising prices to make millions of dollars for stock holders and CEOs. 4). If prices continue to rise I, for one, will stop shopping there, and only shop Antique malls and better yet, Antique Stores. That's why I no longer step inside the Red Rack (VFW) stores. Prices are so high that I can buy new for about the same price, or at times, even cheaper!!! 5) Goodwill Inc. needs to realize that it's the people who shop there out of necessity that fill their coffers. They need to stop gouging these people or they will be the ones going out of business!!!

    It's an okay store. Clean, and well-staffed. I don't have much else to say about it. It's a small…read morestore without a great deal to sell, but it is worth a visit. Clientele is your biggest worry. This neighborhood has gone down fast.

    We visited National Tiger Sanctuary a few years back after going down the whole Tiger King rabbit…read morehole, and honestly--it couldn't have been more different in the best way possible. This place is the real deal. You can tell right away the focus is on the animals' wellbeing, not entertainment. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and they take the time to educate you on each animal's story--how they got there, what they've been through, and how they're being cared for now. It sticks with you. We went with the kids and cousins, and they were completely locked in the whole time (which, as a parent, you know is no small feat). It's engaging without feeling like a zoo--more like a respectful, up-close learning experience. The living environments are thoughtfully done and clearly designed with care, given the nature of rescue work. Nothing felt exploitative--just people doing good work for animals that deserve it. If Tiger King left you feeling a little uneasy about how these animals are treated, this place restores some faith. Easy 5 stars. Would go back in a heartbeat.

    I genuinely never expected to say this in my lifetime but... I fed a tiger!…read more National Tiger Sanctuary was such an incredible experience from start to finish. The moment we arrived, the staff made it clear that safety and animal care come first. This is not just walking around staring at animals behind fences. You learn their stories, why they are there, and how much work goes into giving them a good life. Seeing the white tigers up close during the feeding tour was unreal. Getting the chance to safely give chicken treats using assisted feeding tubes with guidance from staff was something I never expected when we decided to stop here. The setup felt safe on both sides of the enclosure and respectful to the animals, which I really appreciated. What really stood out to me was how much enrichment the animals have. You can tell they are stimulated and thoughtfully cared for. The staff shared details about their routines, personalities, and special needs, which made everything feel meaningful instead of just a photo opportunity. It is fully outdoors, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for natural terrain. I went when the heat was intense and brought a UV blocking umbrella, which I highly recommend if you are sensitive to sun or heat. It is absolutely worth the walk and a little shade hunting to meet and support these beautiful animals. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, and you can feel that in every interaction. If you love big cats and want an experience that feels ethical, educational, and still surprisingly close up, this is a place worth supporting. I would go again in a heartbeat.
