High Schoolers

Welcome the holiday season at Kiener Plaza with the lighting of the Salvation Army Tree of Lights, a festive fireworks finale, live entertainment, and ice skating at the Winterfest Ice Rink.

Kids ages 8 to 11 will enjoy a true maker experience, including laser cutting, LEGO robotics, clay creations, printmaking and more. 

Activities are designed to be simple enough for ages 4 and up to enjoy, yet complex enough that more experienced young artists can take their projects to another level.

Families can enjoy animal shows, a corn maze, the new Grant's Farm pumpkin patch where you can pick your own pumpkins, gourds and decorative corn, and the Kid's Fun Zone, that features a corn play box, sand box, farm equipment to sit on, and open areas to run and play. 

Family Day Oktoberfest includes performances by Circus Flora and Metro Theater Company, magical activities provided by The Magic House, dog-friendly fun with pet-related activities for kids from Purina, a children's tent with cookie decorating, a petting zoo, arts & crafts, live music, coloring, lawn games for the whole family, and lots more.

The Humane Society of Missouri's Longmeadow Rescue Ranch is hosting Wagon Days filled with fun, free activities for all ages.

Bring your whole family to this fun festival that includes live music, food trucks, kids crafts, pony rides, local vendors, a dog park and more! Plus, Woofstock benefits the homeless animals at Metro East Humane Society. Friendly dogs are not only welcomed, but encouraged!
