Different themes can shape a trip to Wright City: architecture, animal encounters, wine, and lavender. The offerings also differ in form—from a building with a named style to animal activities, a restaurant, an annual festival, and workshops. When planning, you can first decide what kind of experience matters to you.
Architecture at a Precisely Located Site
The Southwestern Bell Repeater Station is located at the northeast corner of North Service Road and Bell Road in Wright City. It was designed in the Tudor Revival style. Its location and design offer two distinct points of reference: the street corner pinpoints the building, while the style identifies its architectural feature. If you want to explore culture through a specific building rather than a general theme, the station offers a clearly defined point of reference.
Animal Encounters at Big Joel's Safari
Big Joel's Safari offers two animal experiences with different focuses. Sloth encounters provide information about sloths; visitors also have the opportunity to feed and gently touch some of them. These opportunities apply to some animals, not necessarily all of them. Visitors can also buy cups of food to feed many animals. This lets you choose between an information-focused encounter with sloths and feeding many animals. Encounter times and availability, as well as operating details, may change; check the latest information before planning your visit.
Winery, Restaurant, and Fall Fest
Cedar Lake Cellars is a winery on 140 acres of land and has a full-service restaurant. Cedar Lake Cellars also hosts Fall Fest every year. The winery, restaurant, and recurring event are three distinct aspects that may be relevant to your trip planning. If you want to plan your stay around Fall Fest, check the specific event dates.
Lavender and Farm Workshops
Long Row Lavender is a family-owned farm on 15 acres south of Wright City. It has approximately 1,200 plants from seven lavender varieties: Provence, Phenomenal, Hidcote Blue, Twickel Purple, Edelweiss, Grosso, and Ellagance Pink. The approximate number of plants gives an indication of the size of the collection; the variety names show the breadth of the lavender theme. Long Row Lavender also offers weekly workshops in the barn, led by local artists. The collection of plants and workshop program may grow or change. So check the latest farm details and workshop dates before planning your visit.
The different focuses also vary in what you can direct your attention to: architecture; information and possible animal encounters; a winery with a restaurant and festival; or plant variety and workshops. For time-specific offerings such as Fall Fest and the weekly workshops, it is worth checking the latest dates; for the sloth program, keep times and availability in mind.
