Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center

The place is awesome. Lots of interactive activities. Cool animals, scenic views and trails to hike.

Love this park and the very informative exhibits. A few short trails make it a great morning trip for families. My only critiques are the lack of picknick tables to enjoy a lunch at.

Such a wonderful park. The path is nice but kind of short. I had a good time. And the conservation nature center is so fun and interesting! Perfect place for kids and adults🤗

I can't believe this FREE hidden gem was so close to us. This is a great afternoon family outing, offering live animals such as snakes and turtles, as well as a variety of taxidermied animals native to Missouri. They also have unique, interesting tableaus and learning stations. Overall, I'd say it's geared towards children, but it's definitely enjoyable as an adult. Also, the staff are exceptionally friendly, and they offer a variety of free learning materials to take home. This is a must-stop if you are in the area.

STL had many beautiful parks, but Powder Valley conservation nature center is unique in so many ways: educational, kids-friendly, plenty of parking, close to the city… Nice spot for some short and easy trails. there are a few different ones that you can pick from with the distance labeled out so you can pick and choose according to your group There are persimmons and paw paws that are there as well. There is a restroom open near the trail start for the two easier trails. The visitor center is closed on Sundays and Mondays This is a great place to bring the family to enjoy. They have an indoor tree house for kids only. Be mindful that a lot of the trails are not wheelchair accessible. Enjoy !
