Babies and Toddlers

Your kids can bring their favorite stuffies to the St. Louis Aquarium for a little TLC during the Stuffie Care Clinic. During the clinic, kids become little veterinarians – giving their stuffies a gentle check-up – while they learn how animals are cared for by the staff at the aquarium. Special guest "surgeons" from City Sewing Room will be on hand to patch up any rips or tears to beloved stuffies too!

The new Sloth Atrium, a re-imagined, open-air habitat inside the historic Primate House, opens on April 15. It provides unobstructed views of the two-toed sloths, including Rolo, a one-year-old making his debut at the Saint Louis Zoo.

Join the Nine PBS team for a fun morning of crafts, games, PBS characters and fun learning all centered around the mighty Mississippi! The Mississippi Morning: Nine PBS Playdate in Alton is a free family event your kiddos will love. Plus, you'll meet favorite PBS KIDS characters, Daniel Tiger, Elinor, and Nature Cat—perfect for high fives, photos, and big smiles.
