If you ever find yourself in southern Illinois metropolis is a nice little detour … a comic fan’s mecca so to speak , It’s a place where heroes & history meet on the shores of the mighty Ohio river . an all - american town that’s a must for any & all superman fans . have your pic taken with the giant superman statue (15 ft. tall & 4000k lbs of bronze muscle ) standing proudly in front of the courthouse . visit the " super " museum - which is home to one of the largest superman collections in the world featuring artifacts from various superman movies & tv shows like publicity photos , costumes & props along with a larger than life doomsday & superman toys that will take you back to your childhood .

also , metropolis draws thousands of people to it’s yearly SuperMan celebration . for info on this " SUPER" ( pun intended 
) event visit www.supermancelebration.net
Let’s be honest … This would’ve been cool if plans for it was seen through fruition www.supermansupersite.com/park.html
We’ve traveled through Metropolis before when heading back to Saint Louis from other trips. Nice town with a cool little Superman Museum.
