Grant's Farm

St Louis


A small-time theme park on the beer-brewing Busch family's rural retreat, Grant's Farm thrills kids with its Clydesdale horses and 1000 other animals from six continents; a tram takes you through the preserve where the beasts roam uncaged. It's 12 miles southwest of the center, off Hwy 30. Ride a camel for $6.
