On brisk winter days, the resident wolves, foxes, and painted dogs are at their most energetic, sporting thick winter coats. Families can participate in the 1.5-hour guided Endangered Species Tour, which begins in a warm educational classroom with artifacts, pelts, and animal stories, followed by a guided 1-mile walking tour past outdoor habitats to view rare Mexican gray wolves, red wolves, maned wolves, swift foxes, and African painted dogs. Tours require advance online reservation to protect animal welfare. The visitor center provides heated restrooms with baby changing tables, and sturdy all-terrain strollers are recommended for the gravel woodland walking route. ## Similar picks in St. Louis - [Lone Elk Park: Winter Scenic Wildlife Drive to Spot Elk, Bison & Wild Turkeys](https://grassyknees.com/st-louis/activities/lone-elk-park-winter-scenic-wildlife-drive-to-spot-elk-bison-and-wild--listing-1a4540c0303e13a1ca5c294e) — Daily 8:00 AM to 30 minutes past official sunset (approx 8:00 AM–5:30 PM in winter) · Lone Elk Park, Valley Park · All ages · Free · checked Nov 5.
