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

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

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.

Where else can you see such exotic animals in their natural habitat roaming free? Where else can you do all of this for free?

Pros: Great parking, Great transportation, Great prices on food

Cons: Not open year-round

Sure, there's the zoo, but why go there when you an get up close and personal with the animals at Grant's Farm? At Grant's Farm you can ride the tram and see the animals from different lands and then pet the animals and see the horses. A great place to spend the day and bring the family!

Pros: cheap

The only thing I didn`t like was line cutters and some attractions were unexpanably empty and or animals not where stated.

Pros: friendly attendants

Cons: line cutting

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

I attended the St. Louis City Zoo the day before I had the pleasure of attending Grants Farm and If you have to pick between the two choose Grants Farm My kids enjoyed the animals as well as an interesting lesson in History. I will take the 9 hour time many times again if the goog lord willing !!! Kim Tilley P.S. It is Totally 100% FREE Beer and all !!!

Unlike the St. Louis zoo you get a tram ride into the interior of the park to get in and the animals can be very up close and personal like on a controlled safari. My kids like to go at least once a year just to feed the baby goats, the animal shows are free too! the tram ride include good information on Gen. Grant as well as the Busch family. Best of all you get so sample homegrown beer products making worth the adults time too1 We have a great time every time we go.

Pros: great parking, free
