A visit to Grant’s Farm begins with a tram ride through our Deer Park, where you can see a variety of our bovine and other four-legged friends. Then, you’ll be dropped off at the Tier Garten where you can enjoy the petting zoo area – featuring our famous baby goat bottle-feeding – carousel rides, food and vending in the Bauernhof Courtyard, and of course, complimentary beer tasting.

Keeping in the Busch family tradition, we encourage our guests to interact with all our animal residents, expert staff, and enjoy a memorable experience with their friends and loved ones.
