Grant's Farm

10501 Gravois Rd, St. Louis, MO 63123 · St. Louis, MO

Why you should go…

The ancestral estate of the Anheuser-Busch family has welcomed generations of St. Louis kids with free admission and more than 900 animals. A tram glides through a deer park where bison, elk, and antelope roam, then drops you at a courtyard of goat-feeding pens, camel rides, and animal encounters. The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales graze in white-fenced pastures near Ulysses S. Grant's hand-built log cabin. Admission is free; parking is a per-vehicle fee, cheaper booked online.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
