It was my first time to visit the forest park. It covers a large area. I only walked a small part of it in more than 2 hours. It was autumn, and the leaves were red, which was particularly beautiful against the blue sky! I visited the museum, but I could only understand the Asian part.

Grant Farm is a must if you visit St. Louis. It's open to everyone and it's free (except parking). Adult beer is free too! Great food. And beautiful Clydesdale horses. Many animals are not in cages to be seen!! They roam the land and you can take a tram to see them. It's a lovely place. Very well kept. You won't be disappointed.
