This is the best place to take out of town guests, or even just to visit, yourself. We go here a lot. It's free, the views are gorgeous, the tram ride through the animal park is so cool! I've never been so close to wild animals in a natural setting. I think it is better than the STL zoo. Plus, you get free beer. What more could you want?
Pros: Free, Fun, Interact with nature
Cons: crowds
