Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 1.4 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Springfield instead of crossing town between them. Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Station1 — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, adults, and solo who want a planned Springfield outing without improvising between stops.
