Wonder what happens in Lone Elk Park before it opens and the crowds arrive? Special, early morning access passes are now available. The passes let you see, from your vehicle, the elk and bison during their morning feeding ritual. According to St. Louis County Parks, visitors are guaranteed to see both herds during their early morning visit.
From your vehicle, you can get up close and personal with all the animals. A park ranger will talk about the animals and their habitats and also give tips on wildlife photography. After the feeding, feel free to stay in the park, which opens at 8 a.m.
Upcoming dates are:
Saturday, June 13
Saturday, June 27
Sunday, June 28
All special access passes are good from 6 to 7:30 a.m. Advance reservations are required. Cost is $20 per car with a maximum of 10 people per car (no busses). To make reservations, call 314-615-8822.
At this free art program for ages 3-6 the focus is on the process of making art rather than the finished product. Dress to get messy!
