Editorial Review for Grant's Farm – by Tricia Musel
The Scene
On the Busch family's ancestral estate, a 281-acre wildlife preserve, exotic animals, enormous Clydesdales and talking parrots are commonplace. A tram ride takes you through park grounds where deer, zebras and other hoofed creatures stroll freely. Through a thick forest, Ulysses S. Grant's cabin, built in 1856, holds history buff's attention with displays documenting the past. Children can feed llamas and goats and are free to pet smaller animals.
The Experience
Budget at least three hours to stroll past exotic species, watch elephant and bird shows, peruse the carriage collection and Grant's cabin, take a tram ride through Deer Park and visit the stables of the massive Clydesdales. After all that, you'll surely be ready for a leisurely lunch and a beer in the Bauernhof courtyard, where guests 21 years and over can sample the brews of Anheuser-Busch on the house.

Grant's Farm was awesome! I was skeptical about it being another "zoo" to visit, but it was so much more. I suggest going early in the day to avoid crowds and heat. We're going back in a month because we loved it so much!
Pros: Inexpensive, Family Friendly

Overcrowded therefore unenjoyable, no way to avoid crowds. Busloads of day care and field trips are not limited. What used to be a top attraction is now free advertising for Anheuser Busch with no concern for their visitors quality unless you can figure out how to book a VIP tour in one of the private jeeps.
