Not only is the garden it self nice to walk through. Your children will enjoy sitting on the sheep statues and feeding the Japanese carp (koi). There is also a new childrens garden. The childrens garden has rope bridges to walk across, a large sandbox, a fountain to play in, tree house, cave and much more. A lot of fun for the children. For St. Louis city and county residents the gardens are free Wednesday and Saturday before noon.
I’ve been here more than a few times but haven’t managed to eat anything other than their sundaes. If you enjoy ice-cream, it’s a must. Homemade ice-cream and chocolate candy. I’m certain their lunch menu is equally well, but somehow I haven’t been able to get pass the desserts.
If you happen to find yourself passing through Arkansas and just happen to be traveling highway 7, I recommend passing through this interesting little town. Sure it might make you feel just a tad weird but we found it interesting all the same.
At Grant’s Farm, children can see and pet many different types of animals. You can walk around the park or catch the train. Grant’s Farm is also home to the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses the world has grown to love.
Amazing, Hip Delicatessen, Great Cheeses, Meats, Sundrys, etc… They also have a Bakehouse, Creamery & Restaurants within the area. Best sevice in the buisness. This place is a must-see if you’re in Ann Arbor with a little extra time!
Their website has a ton of info…check it out. (See link above).
The Arch is a must-see monument if you’re ever in the mid-west. You can take a tram ride to the top…I jumped out of the tiny car at the last minute as I was seized by a bout of claustrophobia. It is an engineering marvel. In addition to the movie and literature available at the Arch, if you’re planning a trip, there is a Discovery Channel movie on it that you might be able to find at the library or Amazon.
A landmark in St. Louis. They serve great frozen custard (a lot like ice cream). Lines are dauntingly long, but they move incredibly fast…don’t be fooled! This is a must see site when in St. Louis. The Chippewa location is bigger and open for more of the year…but it’s all the same custard!
