Suson Park is another of the St. Louis County parks containing a variety of family oriented activities. The park itself has a number of shelters, picnic areas, and lakes for family fun, both large and small. On my visit, the lake nearest the Animal Farm was crowed with adults and children fishing.

The Animal Farm at Suson Park is a great place for children young and old to visit up-close the animals that typically make up a farm. For many young city dwellers, this may be their first opportunity to see goats, cows, horses or pigs. From the miniature horses to the large plow horses, each can be viewed and compared. Inside one of the barns are different types of cattle some of which may look familiar to young eyes. My visit was during the weekend but many of the animals are let out of the barns into adjacent pastures during the week. For more lively information, watch the Channel 5 coverage video on the park website link above.

This is just a brief description of the Farm and some of its animal exhibits. Plan a trip and enjoy more of what St. Louis has to offer ... for free.
