High Schoolers

Milk and cookies with Santa is an annual tradition, and this free event is designed for kids with sensory needs. Milk and Cookies with Santa is free, and for all ages. Registration is requested. 

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and you can celebrate it by introducing your kids to some of your favorite classic holiday movies on the big screen! Movies in the Holiday Classics Retro Series at Marcus Theatres are back on the big screen, and tickets are just $6.

Enjoy shows that feature the Bald Eagle and other birds from the World Bird Sanctuary at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

See a live bald eagle up close, participate in cold weather games like ice putt putt golf, ice cube crush and spin the wheel, watch ice sculptors create works of art and more at the free Eagle Ice Festival at the Alton Visitors Center.

Enjoy the iconic lights that adorn the Anheuser-Busch Brewery close up during walking tours (that are stroller-friendly).

Everyone is welcome at the Dive-In Movie at the Lodge of Des Peres. Enjoy a family movie while you float in one of the tubes or just play in the water in the indoor pool. 

More than a half million lights will illuminate some of the Garden's most iconic locations, walkways will be transformed into sensory light tunnels providing an explosion of visual magic, and traditional candlelight village displays will delight crowds of all ages.
