Our Quality Inn^® Joplin I-44 hotel is located near Crowder College and Missouri Southern State University. Whether you’re visiting Joplin to spend some time with family or you’re here to explore our town, there’s plenty to do and see here. Joplin is home to multiple places where you can escape and enjoy nature as well as a few historical sites. You can enjoy being in nature at Grand Falls or the Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center, formerly known as the Wildcat Glades Conservation & Audubon Center. See where history happened by walking past the garage apartment where Bonnie and Clyde hid before their final shoot-out. For some quirky fun, head over to the National Cookie Cutter Historical Museum, which you’ll find in the Joplin Museum Complex. Here you’ll be able to view display cases full of vintage cookie cutters and learn about the history of decorative cookies.
