This annual community festival includes lots of live entertainment, a parade on Saturday morning, a carnival with rides, a Kids Korner on Saturday, games, crafts, live music, fireworks and more.
Take your kids to the farm this summer! At the Brookdale Farms Farm Friends Meet & Greet kiddos can get up close and have snuggle time with friendly farm friends, including baby goats, bunnies, donkeys and more.
At the Historic St. Charles Pumpkin Glow you and your family can bask in the glow of carved pumpkins throughout the historic district while the merchants along Main Street stay open late to offer scary good deals, and the street will be illuminated with hundreds of eerily glowing pumpkins. Costumes are encouraged, but this is not a trick or treating event.
Young visitors and their families are invited to the Energy Stage at the Saint Louis Science Center to enjoy interactive read-alouds of science-themed picture books. Story times are followed by a short demonstration or discussion connected to the book's main concepts.
Celebrate Summerween all week long at The Magic House! Beat the heat and get a sneak peek at the fun of fall. Come dressed up in your "funnest" beach attire or Halloween costume – whichever season suits you – and trick or treat throughout the Magic House.
Roll on over to The Magic House for a truckload of fun! Truck lovers of all ages will get up close to a crane, firetruck, bucket truck, sleeper cab and more!
March brings a very special kind of tropical madness to the Butterfly House in Faust Park! Thousands of breathtaking Blue Morpho butterflies take up residence to welcome spring.
Come over to the dark side and meet the amazing birds that exist by moonlight. Owl Prowls are an opportunity for families to learn about owls from the naturalists at the World Bird Sanctuary.
Kids can work on existing gym skills, learn new skills or just play around during Open Gym at Miss Kelly's Gym in Creve Coeur.
Stop in and have some fun in the indoor pool at the Lodge of Des Peres with your little one at this drop-in swim time for kids up to age 6. No pre-registration is needed; Water Waddlers is open to residents and non-residents of Des Peres.
At this free art program for ages 3-6 the focus is on the process of making art rather than the finished product. Dress to get messy!
