Well, this is a gem if you have time to check it out. Lynn was extremely knowledgeable and took her time answering questions, letting us pet the animals and look at everything at our pace.

Our 8 year old said it was the best zoo he ever visited :) It's was worth the cost of admittance and such a nice addition to Meramec caverns! Highly recommend

We went to the Wolf fest at the Endangered Wolf Center. The weather was perfect and it was a…read morebeautiful day. They had shuttles from the parking lot to the center. There were food trucks, music, vendors, tours, animal talks and a children's area. We got to see the birds on display from the Wild Bird Sanctuary. It's amazing how much bigger they are up close. We saw the wolves and foxes and the African Painted Dogs who were enjoying a treat. It's a very cool place to visit and explore. It's a fun way to spend the weekend. If you like animals and want something different to do go here for an animal experience.

We lucked out with the weather being warm and clear. The staff were very engaging and knowledgeable. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire and learning about all of the animals. They have laminated pictures of the animals and tell you about their behavior and how they collaborate with other groups (government, ranchers, etc) to promote a thriving ecosystem. After the education, we quietly walked a short way down a trail to literally howl and hear the wolves (and foxes?) howl back. We were not disappointed. It sounded like a large, wild kennel. Afterwards, there were s'mores by the fire pit. We even saw a bonus animal slither past us. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone open to learning more about animals. Wear clothes and shoes that can get a bit dirty so you can be fully relaxed. We also applied lots of bug spray when we arrived.

I always received an email to schedule, but I didn't always notice that it was from them because there was no business name displayed. After some time, I called to get the service scheduled again. I took the day off work so I could be here on the scheduled day, and they showed up in the window that was promised. Their service vehicle was a mess on the outside, with paint peeling all over the front etc. It's just something worth mentioning because it makes them look a little less professional. I went over the grounds to describe the issues that I am having. I really needed to get things taken care of and was happy that they were here to perform the spraying. They were here for about 30 min. or less before I was told that they would have to come back some other time since their sprayer was not working. That was disappointing since I needed service sooner rather than later. Great, now I have to get back on a schedule and back in line and wait. I have no idea what was treated before the sprayer broke, or if anything was treated at all. This kind of information would have been nice. I received a VM from the office to reschedule - No apologies for the inconvenience of my taking off work for this appointment or anything. Just a "call us back to reschedule" type of thing. The last thing I need is to take off work again with the potential of the job not being able to be completed. I am going to go with another local provider and hope for the best.

If anyone in your group has limited mobility, be sure to drop them off at the zoo prior to heading to the off-site lot because it is farther than the paid north and south lots. We only saw the areas in the elephant zone and the insect zone, but it was such a joy to see the baby elephant having so much fun. We didn't realize the bird zone was closed so will definitely be returning once it's open again. We were pleasantly surprised by the gift shop. Instead of a bunch of generic junk, we found many of the items to be thoughtful selections that could truly add to the day's experience. There were souvenirs to be found at less than $5, which is practically unheard of these days, and they were items that I'd cherish for a long time. If you're visiting and are unsure of where to go in the Lou, definitely come by to say hi to the animals and experience this local treasure.

I CANNOT say enough good things about this company and the people that work there! Let me begin by…read moretelling you that when I called (the day before Thanksgiving) they did not hesitate to come to my house and help me. Nor did they question me when I told them I was positive there was a HUGE Opossum in my A/C duct work. He simply said, "let me see how I work you into my schedule and I will do everything I can... AND HE DID. He came that day and even though they did not catch the animal that day they fixed the problem with my duct work, set a trap and promised to check in. Here is the amazing part...the follow through! I work with customer service and multiple different companies on a daily basis, however I can say that the way I feel treated as a client from Ace's is above any standard I have seen. They would call and text every few days to check in and see if I have heard any difference. They came back twice to change their tactics and it was not until they caught him that they felt their job was done. They caught the Opossum and did so with excellent service. I was beyond impressed with their company. I hope that no one ever has an animal stuck in their home, however if that time comes I truly feel that Ace's is the ONLY company to call. Aces: THANK YOU!

My brain wasn't working correctly and we missed our tour time but the guide was kind enough to take us along during their tour. Mind you, we got there an hour and a half early but the brain cells died or something. Anyway, we got to pet the Clydesdales and had a close encounter with one. These horses are huge and very beautiful. We got to see a couple of them getting bathed and they were so gentle and well-behaved, I was quite impressed! The tour includes a free adult beverage or water for those under 21 or those who prefers a water instead. Our tour guide was amazing. I think she said her name was Linda. She was very kind and didn't even want any gratuity explaining that her role is a volunteer one. She's a retired educator and you can tell with the patience she had with her rather large tour group. The ticket price for the tour was pretty reasonable for the experience you're getting. You do pay for parking but you can take the tram for free to the village area for more activities. Unfortunately, we ran out of time the day of our tour so we didn't make it up to the village. You can take the trails (bike or on foot) and visit the farm though! When it's nicer outside, I fully intend to do so.
