Babies and Toddlers

Join author Ryan Nusbickel and the Gateway Arch Park Foundation for a virtual storytime. 

The ocean is wild! The ocean is weird! Learn about some of those wild, weird and gross things in this live video from the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station. You'll learn the answers to why sea stars push their stomach out of their mouths, why horseshoe crabs eat with their legs and lots more.

Visit the World Bird Sanctuary for a fun drive-through safari experience from the safety of your car. Come see eagles, owls, hawks, falcons, and reptiles all from the luxury of your own vehicle. World Bird Sanctuary's dinner and drive through lets you experiene the birds without dealing with the summer heat.

This virtual storytime is hosted by Babler Memorial State Park and Missouri State Parks. It will be posted on the Babler State Parks Facebook page.

Although the Saint Louis Zoo is closed to the public, the animal care team is sharing photos and videos of the animals and lots of information about the zoo your kids are sure to love! You'll learn about Hippo Harbor, what zoo volunteers do, the Children's Zoo (and the goats!), zebras, antelopes, stingrays, visit the insectarium, and lots more. 

Since you can't visit the St. Louis Aquarium right now, do the next best thing and watch live as the aquarium brings its habitats to you! Take a dive and explore Shark Canyon, The Mississippi and Missouri Riover Confluence, the Ray habitat and lots more. 

Catch the live stream from 10 to 11 a.m. on the St. Louis Aquarium's Facebook page. 

Have you heard of the fearless spider called Anansi? This West African tale is about a cunning spider who uses all of his wit to get what he wants. This free performance will be held at the Central Library.
