Over many years my family have loved spending a weekend day at Grant's Farm. My boys have grown up to love riding the trams and seeing all the aminals in the open areas, visiting and petting the other amimals, and watching the shows. However, my family is wondering what happened to the Civil War Living History days at Grants Farm? For ...

Wonderful!!!!

I had been to Grant's Farm about 15 years ago and didn't really remember much about it. We took our son on our summer vacation and he absolutely LOVED it!!! He was 2 when we went. His favorite part was the goats that he got to feed with a bottle. I would recommend this to anyone. The clydesdales are absolutely beautiful and everyone there is so friendly! Plus it's only $11 to park and it's free to get in!!

Love it while it is there!!

My husband, daughters and I LOVED it here! It has a wide variety of animals (some of which you can feed). We especially loved feeding the goats although they can get a little rough when they are hungry. (head butting and climbing on you). And even though we managed to visit on the hottest day of the month, there was PLENTY of shade which was ...
Think a collosal, free petting zoo. You can pet pretty much every animal there, at your own risk of course, from Clydesdales - foals to adult to large land tortoises. You can even bottle feed baby goats for $1/bottle.
THINGS OF NOTE: The Clydesdale paddock is attached to the parking lot and is not actually contained within the park itself. ...

timing is everything
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/09/08
Be sure to arrive early in the day, before 10am, as the weekend crowds are large.
Staff is very friendly and prices are very reasonable for food, drink & souvenirs.
Granddaughter loved it - but go in the spring or fall to avoid the heat, and get their early to beat the crowds.

Best Outdoor Attraction for Kids
By chbreville, 02/19/08
It's free (except for the minimal parking fee), there are neat animals to see (a bald eagle NOT in a cage, Camels to feed, baby goats), a tour through General Grant's cabin (great history), then there's free beer and wonderful food (especially if you like sausage), in a European style plaza. You can see, and possibly even pet, the ...

A must see in St. Louis!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/17/07
We visited with our two children. There was something for everyone. We especially loved feeding the animals. It is a bargain considering you only pay for parking. We are planning another trip and this is the one place we will visit again. We can't wait to go back!!
