The City of St. Louis Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry offers hayrides in Forest Park on Friday and Saturday nights on fall weekends.

Reservations are for one wagon, NOT a space on a wagon. You cannot walk up and rent a space on the wagon. The cost for a wagon is $200.

Tractors pull the wagons, leaving from Faulkner and Wells Drive and take approximately 45 minutes. A 30 minute bonfire is included after the hayride.

You can bring items to roast at the bonfire. Only food and drink such as hot dogs, marshmallows, and cocoa are allowed at the bonfire. NO ALCOHOL ON THE HAYRIDE WAGON.

Reservations are required for Hayrides. All reservations must be made in person.

Remember that you are reserving the entire wagon, not a seat on the wagon. You will be asked to pay the wagon fee.
