Ring in 2020 with the whole family at the Garden Glow at the Missouri Botanical Garden. This celebration is from 6 to 8 p.m., so it's perfect for all ages. Kids can make an eco-friendly party hat with Perennial, or write down their wish for the new year on seed paper and watch their dreams grow throughout the year. 

Come see the sea during opening day of the St. Louis Aquarium. The 120,000 square-foot aquarium is open to the public for the first time on Christmas Day. 

Visitors are welcome to view eagles through spotting scopes staffed by trained volunteers. There will be a warming tent that will include children's art activities and a St. Louis Audubon display. Families can also take photos next to the full-size eagle's nest, and watch a live eagle educational program.

Go bananas because Curious George is coming to the Magic House! Families are invited to swing into the morning and enjoy a delicious breakfast (bananas included) with visits from Curious George himself.

Registration is required.
