A trip to our favorite zoo is often a fun way to spend a few hours and provides a glimpse of animals we usually wouldn’t see in our own neighborhoods. Missouri’s also home to several sanctuaries that offer a one-of-a-kind experience. This wolf sanctuary in Missouri, for example, provides the unique opportunity to get an up-close view of endangered wolves while also learning more about them.
A tour of the Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn more about endangered wolves, African Painted Dogs, and foxes.
