The owner, Corey is so professional and accommodating, he got me to speed on flying on U.S. National Airspace, he also helped me brush off some rust on my stick and rudder skills (its been 7 months since the last time I flew). It was a joy flying with him, the same with instructors Josh and Ken (Yo, shout out to you guys!). Ken whom by the way have more number of flight experience than you can shake a stick at! St. Louis Flight Training Center is nothing like some training center, here the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable - conducive to learning. Whenever I will be around St. Louis, I look forward to fly with them again, and so I will definitely recommend them. Oh and by the way the personnel at the FBO - they are also helpful and friendly too.

A Hidden Jewel in St. Louis - Don't Miss the Magic Chef Mansion!…read more What a historic gem! The Magic Chef Mansion is one of St. Louis' most stunning and best-kept secrets. If you haven't taken a tour, you are truly missing out. This architectural treasure offers a glimpse into another era--where craftsmanship, elegance, and timeless beauty meet. What makes it even more special is the incredible care and devotion of Shelly, the current owner and resident. It's amazing how she has lovingly restored the entire interior, tracking down original furniture, lighting fixtures, and period-appropriate details to bring this mansion back to its former glory. What an act of love--and one that every visitor can feel the moment they walk through the doors. Every room is a story, and the guided tour is filled with fascinating history, local lore, and exquisite details. Whether you're a St. Louis native or a visitor, this is an experience that belongs at the top of your list. The Magic Chef Mansion isn't just a tour--it's a living, breathing piece of art and history. Don't miss the chance to be a part of it.

Do Not Recommend - Extremely Unprofessional Experience…read more I reserved Claddagh Carriage Company for my daughter's senior prom. On April 9, 2025, Shannon Nickless requested a $100 deposit, which I promptly paid. On May 7, I sent a reminder text to confirm the booking, as prom was just three days away. On the day of the event, May 10, Shannon called to say he would be 20-30 minutes late. He was originally scheduled to arrive at 7:00 PM. When I called back for an update, he didn't answer. At 7:20 PM, he finally responded, claiming that the horse had thrown a shoe but that he was still coming. Shortly after, another person--who identified himself as Shannon's boss--called to say the carriage was blocked in and they would not be coming at all. This last-minute cancellation completely ruined an important part of my daughter's prom night. I immediately requested a refund, but Shannon has not responded to calls, texts, or emails. As of today, I have received no refund. I recently spoke to another carriage company and was told I'm not the only one who has had a similar experience with Shannon. Based on my experience and what I've heard from others, I do not recommend Claddagh Carriage Company.

The house itself is that last remaining piece of the original neighborhood which originally stood outside of city limits. The docent was knowledgeable, welcoming, and gave what felt like an insider's look into the Campbell family highlighting original family belongings. My favorite pieces include a gas lamp that illuminates beautifully (seriously stunning) and massive portait of James A. Campbell with his dogs. Oh -- and the ornate toilet. I recommend a visit at Christmas time. The house is beautifully decorated for the holidays and you might just get to see and HEAR a special Christmas tree stand/music box!
