Babies and Toddlers

Storytime in the Commons is back for another season of fun character visits and outdoor storytimes. Presented by Nine PBS and the St. Louis Public Library, Storytime in the Commons offers joyful stories read aloud with the book's pages projected onto a big video screen.

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun and where storybook characters come alive! Kids are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time going on a spook-tacular scavenger hunt throughout The Magic House to find trick-or-treat locations, and seeing their favorite storybook characters.

Join the Missouri History Museum for a movin' and grovin' in-person Halloween party! Kids are encouraged to wear their costumes while they participate in candy-free trick or treating, Halloween-inspired spooktacular stretches and a monster mash dance bash, among other fun activities.  Guests can craft their own creepy or quirky mask, and enjoy a suspenseful story time!

Halloween is bigger and more boo-tiful than ever at The Magic House! Visit The Magic House for Halloween Magic, featuring outdoor experiences, decorating mini pumpkins, a not-so-spooky spiderweb maze, fun yard games, Halloween-themed trike town and all of your favorite Magic House exhibits – with a Halloween twist!

Join Great Rivers Greenway for a free Storytime & a Stroll on three different Greenways across the St. Louis area. Sign up for one or all three, meet other parents and enjoy a beautiful walk and storytime adventure with your child. One-hour meetups include children's stories and hands-on nature activities followed by a stroll on a greenway. Snacks will be provided.

Science gets spooky at the Saint Louis Science Center's Halloween Science Spooktacular! Get ready for science thrills at this no-cost, candy-free event packed with Halloween-themed festivities for the entire family.

Bring your whole family to Purina Farms for some fall fun at the Howl-O-Ween Fest! You'll enjoy petting animals, special performances by the Purina Incredible Dog Team, lots of not-so-spooky photo opportunities, pony rides, face painting, wagon rides and more. Plus, come dressed in costume to participate in the Costume Paw-ty! Reservations are required.
