Say "Hay" This Fall in Forest Park
RSVP as fast as you can say "hay" to book a fun-filled fall hayride for your group through
St. Louis' gorgeous Forest Park. The classic autumn country-style ride meanders through the 1,300-plus acres of one of the country's largest urban parks.
Tractor-pulled haywagons provide leisurely 45-minute rides on crispy cool Friday and Saturday nights starting Friday, September 30 and run through Saturday, December 10. There are no rides over Thanksgiving weekend.
The wagons depart from Faulkner Drive (at Clayton Road near the Science Center) and return there where a roaring bonfire awaits. BYO-marshmallows or hot dogs for roasting.
Riders can choose from the following dates in 2005: Sept. 30 and Oct. 1; Oct. 7 and 8; Oct. 14 and 15; Oct.21 and 22; Oct. 28 and 29; Nov. 4 and 5, Nov. 11 and 12, Nov. 18 and 19; Dec. 2 and 3; and Dec. 9 and 10.
Wagons leave each evening at 7, 7:05, 7:10, 7:15, 7:20, 8, 8:05, 8:10; 8:15 and 8:20 p.m. These time slots are for group rides with a maximum of 20 people per wagon. Groups of all ages are welcome.
The cost is $100 a wagon with a maximum of 20 people per wagon. Hayrides go on rain or shine; dates are not transferable.
Reservations are required and are taken from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday by the permit section of the St.Louis City Parks Department. Call 314-289-5330 for details.
