Endangered Wolf Center Reviews

These people are saving wolves. And getting them to safe habitats. Not sanctuaries- which, of course, also serve a purpose

We had an amazing experience with the Engdangered Wolf Center. Not only was our tour guide, Matt Fox, exceptionally knowledable, he was also clearly passionate and devoted to the animals. Every volunteer we encountered was friendly and happy to contribute more information regarding the fascinating animals. The animals themselves were unique and definitely a must see! I cannot recommend this establishment enough. For us it was a stop along a road trip but without a doubt one of the highlights of our vacation!

This year at the wolf-fest, the general parking was different from years past. We drove down the outer road (SW) at Antire and a very big field.

A big fan of what they do. Went for a tour. That was a bit of a letdown.

I went there with my husband and we had a blast! It's very educational, great for kids and adults alike. It also involves a 1 mile walk which was a nice pace for us. The animals looked well cared for - I recommend!

Pretty cool place, that does great work. It was neat to see them feed the wolves.

We took out girl scout troop here to earn a badge and they did not disappoint. The volunteer guide walked us around, showed us the animals, and was very knowledgable about everything. He also didn't mind the 200 questions that our girl peppered him with the whole time we were there. They did a great job.

Seeing the beautiful wolves was amazing! They are doing a great thing at that center and my family and I will be returning in the winter. It was wonderful!

Erin, our tour guide, was a wonderful educator about all the animals and their care. She gave us facts about the natural world we live in. Everybody living nearby or guests to the area should make a visit.

We at Joe's Affordable Tree Service love working at the Center. When they need trees removed or trimmed in and around the habitats, it's always a learning experience. We're lucky enough to get up and personal with some of the animals while we're there. We love the Endangered Wolf Center!

Great experience, nice tour,great time to save the animals

Great experience the guide was informative & passionate about the program. I will recommend to anyone to visit the center!

Family friendly and very good information on wolves.

There is something magical about sharing space with these amazing wolves, foxes, and my favorite African Painted Dogs.

Once in a lifetime opportunity very educational and friendly staff. We will be back!

Great place to go and they have a wonderful mission they are trying to accomplish. The day I attended was for members only as my family donates. We got to see a maned wolf within 20 feet. Did not get to see the 14 newborns, but expected not to able to.

If you have the ability to go, please do.

I always have an amazing fun time and have very informative guides. Plus the gift shop is awesome!

Awesome tour. Really interesting to learn about the old army base that the sanctuary is built on and Wolf Scanctuary itself.

This is worth the visit. I loved learniing about the different species of wolves and what is being done to preserve the line of wild wolves.

I learned so much. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I would like to go back someday and take one of the other tours they offer.

It was cool seeing wolves, I wish I could have heard them howl.

First time visiting last Saturday. Tour guide was Isabelle. Very good . Would recommend to go & see for yourself.

They do amazing things. Great summer camps and education out-reach. Call ahead to visit, especially for a night howl.

My family and I love to visit every year to see all the beautiful critters they're helping.

Fantastic! This place and the people here are saving several species of wolves from extinction. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to actually see many, but we got lucky and they were all out and active. Even got to see the cute little fennec fox that's living there!

interesting but hard to take photos all the animals are behind 2 fences which blurs the photos

Beautiful animals and worthy conservation efforts make this destination a must!

More people need to know about this! So glad we took the trip from KC to see these beautiful animals!!

Took my son here for his birthday to coincide with his wolf fascination, and he certainly wasn't disappointed. The welcome/retail center is in an old WWII ammo bunker, and is a very interesting, well utilized space! I don't think a better tour guide than Matt exists, he's truly passionate about keystone predators and ensuring their survival for years to come. We were able to see a maned wolf on a leash, which was quite the sight to see... a wolf on a leash taking treats from a human. It was one of the ambassador animals that is taken out to highlight their conservation efforts.

The enclosures are set up so that the animals are visible to visitors, so there's no disappointment in being unable to see them during the tour, as sometimes happens at the zoo. Matt had the patience of a saint with questions ranging from those regarding the various wolves to Fortnite, answering each honestly and sincerely.

Beautiful property and fun activities. We got feel different pelts during the tour and see many animals.

Yes! Great place to go I highly recommend it to people who live in St. Louis.

Absolutely wonderful conservation program for endangered species. There are lots of things to learn and you can get pretty close to the animals they work with!

What an awesome place to take the kids and get an educational experience from.

Our host guide was very knowledgeable and interesting however there were quite a few kids in the 5 yr old range and they lost interest pretty quick and just wanted to view the wolves and fox. She did hold the interest of the older kids, however, along with us adults!

What an amazing experience! We came all the way from Michigan to visit as a surprise to my boyfriend for his bday. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable! This is not a zoo and we came with the knowledge of their rehabilitation and wanting to learn. These are wild animals and not meant for spectacle. Thank you to our great tour guides Erin and Shawn and to the keeper Sarah for answering all of our many questions! All of your guys dedication and passion is empowering!

very informative, off the beaten path, doing great things, beautiful animals, great tour

Great conservation efforts. Employees and volunteer staff are wonderful and provide great education on the center's successes and efforts.

I love anything animals and anywhere that is helping them..it was amazing to actually see them in their habitats and even got to see 13 pups all playing together and bheard what they sound like...loved it so much

It was a fun educational trip, and I learned so much about wolves.

Fun place to take the family but not stroller friendly.

Way cool. You will be amazed at the differences between these wolves compared to what you think they look like. Very educational.

Really cool to see the wolves and hear about the programs to release some back into the wild, I recommend comfy walking shoes

Went from my husband's birthday with a couple of friends. It was very fun people, are very friendly and we would be happy to go back again.

Great non profit place to ser many varieties of wolves. Very kid friendly. The walk is a total of a mile. $16 adults $13 kids

It was such a great day for everyone. I was a vendor there and the sales were great. The music, the food just everything was great.

Good place to check out and learn about wolves and a little Missouri history. The classroom could have been cut a little shorter imo but it is geared more towards children. Wolves and painted dogs are interesting to see.
We did an enrichment activity which wasn't super exciting but it was interesting and you get to talk to the trainers who work with them on a daily basis and ask questions.

Really awesome place can't wait to go back every member of staff was awesome and it was a great experience

It is a great chance to see animals rarely seen and learn about their habits and survival. I took my 10 and 6 year old and they really enjoyed it.

This place was so awesome and has amazing history. What they do there is great. I have lived my whole life in St.louis and have never been here. Whether you live here of visiting this is a must! You must make a reservations but it is definitely worth it. They also do kids birthday parties that are great!

A wonderful institution helping to breed and rehabilitate endangered species of wolves!

An awesome Time today hiking the Trails and seeing the Caves and Forests. Bunkers still there from Army use during WWI band WWII

Staff members were welcoming and friendly. Very knowledgeable and clearly care about the animals a lot.

We had a wonderful experience with our 7 and 10 year old daughters. My 10 year old is obsessed with wolves and was not let down at all. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. The mission of the EWC goes far beyond the display of these amazing creatures. You really get a sense of the restoration, research and conservation efforts that underlie everything they do. We would definitely go again!

Great experience, well worth the price, great tour guide

Well, call ahead or get there early because to participate in the demos and classes you must be pre-registered. ( A lesson we learned : ). They still let us in so we could visit the gift shop, which is also a classroom, both of which are very cool. Thank you for that EWC!
I gave five stars because of what these wonderful people do for these beautiful creatures. Thank you!

We scheduled a personal tour of the different canines they are helping. Very interesting stories from the guide too.
It was an easy hike in the woods.
Great for those who like animals, esp dogs, and nature.

Like the World Bird Sanctuary (which is in the same area and I'd recommend anyone visiting check out), the center is located within beautiful and deep forests. The facility itself is highly educational and very focused on the betterment and reintroduction of endangered Canid species (hence the name).

Knowledgeable and friendly folks here, really fun visit, my daughter (and the whole family) loved it.

Wonderful place to bring the kids. Big fun out there

This place is amazing. From the animals to the tour guide.

We had a great time. Hopefully all goes well with the new pups that will be arriving soon. Would recommend for family's.

Wonderful and knowledgable staff. Definitely going back.

They are doing a great job helping to save these beautiful animals! The staff is wonderful!

They hosted a messy play day for toddlers as well as tours of the wolf pens, a great experience. Super friendly staff and volunteers who were very knowledgeable. Lots of good work being done here.

This was a first time for me and I loved it. We went for the campfire howl. The wolves did not howl very much but there were multiple expecting wolves that are due any day so think they were getting ready for puppies.

Amazing scenery. Highly recomended! Are they the same makers of Wolf Quest? I love it!

Such a fun experience. I can not wait to do the howl

Awesome and informative guides excellent experience phenomenal program
