A true variety of sights and activities that left our family totally enthused and pleased with our experiences there! Sure, the food is over priced (we brought our own) and the layout turns into one long Anheuser-Busch advertisement by the end (the stable was cool until you see that it is one long homage to the Busch family's fixation on show horses), but we were very satisfied with what we found. And, of course, the Clydesdales are absolutely gorgeous animals, and tolerated the attention very well. One item of note--the baby goats are adorable, but with the bottle feedings they become very aggressive...one actually bruised my daughter's shin by ramming her, and another climbed up onto a little girl's back and took a sizeable bite of her hair...
WARNING--a rumor was going around that the Busch family is slowly shutting the place down, which would be a serious crime. Enjoy it while you can!
Pros: Wide variety of activities and sights
Cons: Food prices and the overall "Busch-ness" of the place

This is an excellent little park. They have small animals and most are not behind bars and cages so it is easy for small children to see them. They have a small petting area where you can feed and pet baby goats. They have several animal shoes also. They have camels and llamas that you can feed and pet. The eating area was pretty crowded but the food was good. It was expensive to eat. They don't charge an admission fee but you do have to pay to park. I would highly recommend this attraction as a nice day trip for a family.

This is a great place for kids to see different animals and some animal shows. Not a lot of walkjng and the tram ride is always so fun. feeding the goats is a bit scary for the faint of heart (or shildren under 5) beccause they are aggresive little animals, but the rest of our visit was enjoyable!

Grant's Farm is a wonderful place to bring your family on a beautiful day. It is a preserve ran by Anheuser Busch. It consists of land formerly owned by Ulysses Grant. It is a nature preserve with a diverse animal population. Admission is free. You take a tram ride through the park and observe the animals. Since the animal population is so diverse, it is not strange to see bison next to zebras. The tram takes you through the preserve and drops you off in a hospitality area. Here you are able to sample some Anheuser Busch products for free. You can also see different types of animal shows. The park is definitely a fun family experience.

Grants Farm is owned and operated by Anheuser Busch. The farm was once the home of the Busch family and was named for President Grant, who also lived on a portion of the land for a period of time. Admission to Grants Farm is free, although there is a parking fee of $6 per auto and $12 per RV or bus. There are no fees for any of the attractions at Grants Farm.One of the best was the Deer Park. We boarded an open-sided tram car (hang onto the kids - they are like the parking lot trams at Disney World) and were taken through and area where deer, antelope, zebras, buffalo, and bison roam free.
The grounds and gardens are beautifully landscaped.There are plenty of shopping opportunities with a variety of Anheuser-Busch and Clydesdale merchandise.Grant's Farm makes a terrific and inexpensive way to relax a bit and enjoy simpler pleasures.
