I really thought how boring it was to go here but my family and I had so much fun..not for the shops but for the perfomance put on by the guys at the fudgery located downstairs ...While your there you have to go see the fish in the pond outside those doors..you can alos do the paddle boat there...My memorable kid thing to do was using that stamper machine across the information desk on the down level...cute and cheap...Also on the second floor by security they have a Harry Potter Train and the wall by the train station--Great for Pictures!!

The sauce is sweet and I really didnt care for my dinner much. I had the Spinneni??? Anyway, the price was a little much and I was just Ok about my meal---I asked the rest of the family and they felt the same--not worth going out of the way for

Hotel | "Ugh..."

Quote:
If you're on a budget...stay here..Dont plan on using the pool as it was dirty. The location is not prime but Ok. They do offer a shuttle bus that will take you around and pick u up..this was the biggest plus about this hotel.

Grant's Farm Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Excellent! Family Oriented..."

Dairy Section Photo - Grant's Farm, St. Louis, Missouri
Quote:
This place was worth every cent that you pay in parking there..I think it was like $11 then you buy a pass for each child $5 that gives them the right to ride the carousel, get 2 bottles of milk to feed the goats, and a snowcone. We really enjoyed all the shows and had a great time. At the end when you go back to the parking lot --follow the horse shoe prints on the ground. They lead you to the Chylsdale farm area..horses trotting about and you can pay to have your picture taken with one for $8. Loved this place.

Quote:
They have tours all day long...you can have the short version or the long version..the short version takes you to the horse stables and then on to get your 2 free beers...The long which is what my family did takes you on a tour of the facility and how they make the beer story...We should have passed on this...
Definitely, go to Grants farm which is also owned by them,,,great for the whole family and you get to see the Chysdale horses in 2 locations--really neat Plus you also get your 2 Free beers !
