Grant's Farm welcomes visitors this holiday season to the 2023 Holiday Lights Drive-Through and Walk-Through Experiences featuring dazzling light displays, Santa and Mrs. Claus, a 50-foot LED Christmas tree, Clydesdale photos, and more.
In the Drive-Through Experience, which takes place Wednesday and Thursday nights through December 14, the route takes you through the Bauernhof courtyard to see some of your favorite animals, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a 50-foot LED Christmas tree synchronized to holiday music you can hear on your car radio. Plus, drive around the Busch family one, which is decorated in full holiday splendor.
In the Walk-Through Experience, which is offered on select nights through December 30, you'll ride the tram to the Bauernhof and then stroll the grounds, enjoying holiday lights at your leisure. Highlights include Santa and Mrs. Claus, a holiday light show, seasonal food and drinks, Clydesdale photos, animals in the Tier Garten, and a walk down to the exterior of the historic Busch family home.
