Rolla is located approximately midway between St. Louis and Springfield, a lively college town home to the Missouri University of Science and Technology, famous for its engineering and computer sciences departments. The hills around Rolla were planted with vines by Italian immigrants a century ago, and Rolla is today a part of the Ozark Highlands American Viticultural Area. After strolling through the charming Rolla downtown, visit the fascinating Ed Clark Museum of Missouri Geology. Take a hike through the lush Mark Twain National Forest on the slopes of the Ozark Mountains. Take the kids to have some fun at the Zone Rolla's Family Entertainment or Kokomo Joe's Family Fun Center. Catch a play at the Ozark Actors Theatre and take a splash at the Fugitive Beach, located at an old rock quarry.
