We first saw a show led by an employee which was a ton of fun. We got to meet several birds, and a couple of them flew over our heads back and forth between trainers. The highlight was meeting a one year old bald eagle. My son and I learned they don't get the white feathers until around age 5. After the presentation was over the kids all played on the playground. I then went to the rest of the open air exhibits for the birds. At the end we did a short hike back through the woods to the main visitor center. It was a perfect day to be out in the woods with my son. I would highly recommend this as a stop for the whole family.

We went on a weekday in August so it was very easy to pull up and get a kayak right away. My mom didn't join us but she enjoyed walking around the park. They were knowledgable about the river systems and lakes which made being on the water even more interesting. We've lived in neighboring Illinois for years but have only just started exploring the waters in Missouri. It was fun and a chance to spend time together in a different way. It also made me appreciate the natural beauty of Missouri. Seeing the turtles enjoying the sunshine was one of my favorite parts. The only thing I would do differently is go early in the morning when it's cooler.

Awful place! The…read moreowner, Wayne, approached us (my husband, myself, + our two dogs) for our "temperament test" (meet + greet) with his own two dogs OFF LEASH! I could not believe that someone who works with dogs would do that! He took one look at our boys + said NO, we were not welcome. Our dogs are mixed breed, + one of those breeds is pit bull. We told him that our boys are super sweet, not aggressive at all, + he told us that we don't understand pit bulls. I understand that there are aggressive pit bulls in the world; however, ANY dog can be aggressive under the right circumstances. Nowhere on the website does it list which breeds are not allowed, so we didn't know. Huge waste of everyone's time + energy. Overall, Wayne was very rude + unprofessional. Definitely would not pay the exorbitant prices of a membership here - IF your dogs are even accepted into the park!

I'm a pretty good fisherman, but not that good. This park has an online website. Someone should and could have taken the time to post that info so that myself and others would know not to go there for fishing. Also, does the park open at 7:00 A.M., 8:00 A.M., or 4:00 A.M.? I have seen each of those times listed and do not know why the confusion. A disappointing waste of my time.

Your research is necessary because the MO Department of Conservation provides precious little information for this site: Maps could be more helpful and trails could be better marked. St. Stanislaus is over 800 acres in pretty much its natural state along the Missouri River. Though there are hilly spots this CA is in a flood plain. Many other online reviewers complain of substantial mud following rainstorms, overgrown trails, and bugs. For visual interest there's the river, and ruins from of a former Catholic retreat center. Hiking, fishing, archery hunting, and trapping are allowed here within seasons and state conservation laws. There are no amenities, such as bathrooms or trash receptacles. So, bring liquids and "carry in, carry out." I entered from the Aubuchon Road entrance. A gravel trail from the small parking lot runs out quickly.
