There are many exciting animal encounters possible at Grant's Farm, the 281-acre ancestral home of the Busch family, located just south of the city of St. Louis. The Farm is home to more than 1,000 animals representing more than 100 different species from six continents. Grant's Farm, operated by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., has been a St. Louis tradition for over five decades. More than 24 million guests have visited this popular family attraction during its history.
The Farm takes its name from our 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. In the 1850s, Grant founded and farmed a portion of the 281 acres. Today, this land is home to Grant's Farm and is preserved as a living symbol of the Busch family's love for animals and Anheuser-Busch's commitment to wildlife conservation and preservation. Admission to Grant's Farm is free to all ages. Reservations are not required.

They have special events and shows. They are having "The Magic of the Holidays Celebration" this month and next.
The best time of year to go is during the warmer seasons. The animals will be out and about and it nicier weather to walk around and pet and feed animals.
There are also a few stores to shop at while you are there.
There are also a few places to stop and eat on the farm.

family attraction nationwide!

n the 1850s, Ulysses S. Grant began farming the land, which is now a tourist attraction and a home to many exotic and endangered animals. This farm offers visitors many activities, from touring the land and seeing the animals to attending the shows and dining or browsing for souvenirs in the gift shop. Anheuser-Busch owns the farm, which is home to the Clydesdale stables, a herd of deer and other animals. Grant's Station and Grant's Cabin are two of the major attractions on the tour. Admission is free, although parking is USD5.

This is land that was once owned by Ulysses Grant for farming and is now owned by the Anheuser Busch Brewery. It is open to the public (now closed for the season) and they have many species of wild animals on the grounds, animal shows and a tram that takes you through the property.The only charge is for parking. On the parking lot is a stable for some of the Clydesdale horses.

It was home to general Ulysses S. Grant a long time ago and now it's where the Budweiser Horses are raised along with a lot of other animals. Great tourist place.
