## About

The Brewery Lights Family Experience turns the historic red-brick Anheuser-Busch campus in Soulard into a glowing holiday wonderland adorned with more than one million synchronized LED lights. Families can lace up ice skates on the 5,000-square-foot outdoor family ice rink, meet the world-famous gentle giant Budweiser Clydesdales in their holiday stables, walk through the 100-foot illuminated light tunnel, and reserve private heated fire pits complete with gourmet s'mores kits. Food trucks and hot cocoa carts offer seasonal treats for all ages.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The entire historic campus features wide, flat paved brick and asphalt pathways fully accessible to strollers and wagons.
• Restrooms & Amenities: Heated indoor family restrooms with diaper-changing stations are located inside the Tour Center and the Old Schoolhouse.
• Family Dining: Food trucks and outdoor food stations offer kid-friendly bites including hot dogs, warm pretzels, and campfire s'mores.
• Sensory Tips: Arrive right at 5:00 PM on Thursday evenings for the quietest, least crowded experience.
