"We had an absolute blast in Metropolis!  My two-year-old son is still talking about it.  Everyone was very nice and friendly.  We got a lot of souvenirs and have memories of a great getaway weekend we'll never forget!"

Metropolis, Illinois, located at Exit 37 on Interstate 24 at the southernmost tip of Illinois, has so much to offer to so many!  Metropolis is the official Home of Superman and proudly honors its favorite son with a 15-foot bronze statue of America’s Super Hero right in the middle of Superman Square.  And now, a new statue of actress Noel Neil, posed as Lois Lane, stands just two blocks down the street.  

Metropolis is also home to Fort Massac State Park, the first state park in Illinois. At Fort Massac, you will not only enjoy the breath taking views of the Ohio River, but you may take a walk back in time by visiting the 1802 replica of the Fort that once served to protect French, British and American troops. 

For those who enjoy the excitement of gaming, Metropolis is also home to Harrah’s Metropolis Casino & Hotel.  Harrah’s is ready to entertain you with table games, slots, restaurants and an entertainment center that host many big name entertainers throughout the year.  But wait.....there's even more!  Browse our site to learn all about Metropolis!
