Suson Park and Grants Farm

There are a lot of great places to take kids to in St Louis. Two of my favorite places are Suson Park and Grants Farm. Suson park has a huge playground, three big ponds full of ducks and geese and tons of farm animals for kids to look at. We went to Suson park twice and Laneah is a perfect age for it.

She had so much fun playing at the park with mommy, Nana, Aunt Christy and Uncle Alex

Seeing all the pigs, cows, horses, chickens and other farm animals


And feeding the ducks for the first time. She was so funny because she would take a piece of bread, eat it and then give the next piece of bread to the ducks. She wouldn't feed the ducks unless her mouth was full of bread.



We also went to Grant's Farm. It is owned by the Anheuser-Busch company and it is free to get in. The land was once owned by Ulysses S. Grant and the home he lived in is still there. The fence surrounding the property is made up of the barrels of guns from the civil war. You take a tram around the property to the farm and see elk, buffalo, deer and other animals on the way. The farm has lots of exotic birds and even bald eagles. We watched a show where animals did all kinds of tricks and Laneah really liked it. Then we saw the elephants and had some hot dogs and snow cones. Laneah's favorite part was feeding and playing with the goats. I let her feed them outside of the fence so they wouldn't jump on her and knock her down and then my brother Alex and I went in the pin with her.

She loved petting the goats and running after them. She even thought it was funny when they would chew on her shirt and pants.
She kept putting her hand up to their mouths so they would lick her hand and then she would laugh when they did.
If you are ever in St Louis, these are two fun places to take your kids.
