The holiday season is upon us and my family loves discovering new and fun things to do as a family in St. Louis! We were so excited to visit the Anheuser-Busch Brewery for their Holiday Lights experience!

What is the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Holiday Lights?
The Anheuser-Busch Brewery Holiday Lights Display in St. Louis is in it’s 28th year but it’s better than ever with more lights, live music, fire pits for roasting s’mores, and complimentary seasonal beer samples for adults 21 and older.
You’ll be able to enjoy walking along the grounds of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery as you view the buildings that are decorated with thousands of lights! Local musicians play holiday music and you can make sure to snap a picture of the famous Clydesdales!
What’s there to do for kids?
The Anheuser-Busch Brewery Holiday Lights Display is VERY family friendly! While there is of course beer for the adults to sample, kids will enjoy seeing all of the lights, drinking hot chocolate, making s’mores {which are $1 for one}, decorating ornaments and seeing the Clydesdales! Kids of all ages will love stepping into step into an inflatable snow globe for a unique photo opportunity.
It’s also VERY stroller friendly! We were able to push our double stroller along the streets and sidewalks with no issues.
Drinks and Food
Adults will enjoy the complimentary seasonal beer samples that include Shock Top Chocolate Wheat, Stella Artois Cidre and Bud Light Lime Cran-Brrr-Rita. Fresh s’mores-making kits {$1 for one}, kettle corn and hot chocolate will also be available for purchase.

Wow! What a great holiday display!
I love that it’s stroller friendly, too. So many times family things aren’t. And while I do a lot of baby wearing sometimes I can’t get around with three kids solo without one.
What a fun event and I love how cheap it is to attend and enjoy the festivities!
I am just a few hours away Busch Gardens in FL, I need to go check this out!
I’ve heard about this, we are going to make the drive out there to check it out. Looks like a lot of fun!
How fun and affordable! I always find free events have really expensive everything else, but not true in this case!
What a beautiful nightitme holiday lights display. Would love to go there with my family one day.
What a fun and economical holiday outing for your family. The lights on the Anheuser-Busch brewery are beautiful. Wish I was closer.

What fun, wish we lived near St. Louis to get the chance to see them in person. Looks like lots of fun and so pretty to see!
That top picture is just beautiful. I would love to visit for myself sometime.
I have been to St. Louis a lot but never at Christmas. I will have to let my daughter know about this. I think she is planning to go visit relatives in St. Louis in December.

It looks very pretty and fun for the family.
I need to take the girls! We drove through last year on Christmas Day but didn’t get out….I didn’t know they had activities 🙂
Oh the Anheuser Busch Brewery Holiday lights look like so much fun! We had such bad weather come in this week (especially for the south) that a lot of our events have been cancelled, but we try to get to see holiday lights as a family each year. Looks like quite a show!
This does look like a lot of fun! It can be hard to find good out door entertainment in the colder months, its nice that they are doing this for their community 🙂
Looks so beautiful!
We need to make a trip there, looks like you all had a good time.
It looks awesome my kids will have a blast. Sadly we don’t live close enough!
You had me at free beer and hot chocolate 😉 Looks like a lot of fun.
the Clydesdales are very festive in their little lights!
What a beautiful display. Wished we lived close enough for the boys to see and enjoy.
Love all the lights! The inflatable snow globe sounds like it would make for a cute pic!
