Room with a View

Located at the end of River's Edge and surrounded by 90 acres of wildlife, the McDonnell Center at River Camp offers a scenic, private setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of Missouri wildflowers, a river bluff and cascading waterfalls. A private terrace runs the length of the building, accessible from each of three rooms -- the Missouri, the Mississippi and the Meramec. A dramatic window into the Missouri River Aquarium at one end affords a spectacular view of paddlefish, gar and many other aquatic creatures. Included with River Camp are state-of-the-art presentation equipment, video screens and high-speed internet access.

The Missouri, the Mississippi and the Meramec rooms can be booked individually or combined into a large hall that can host 200 people. River Camp is available seven days a week for daytime or evening functions.
