Middle Schoolers

Visit one of the most dazzling holiday light displays in the Midwest on these special Family Nights when children's tickets are just $5.

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

 

Step into a winter wonderland of joy and delight as City Museum transforms into a festive paradise from Thanksgiving through the entire month of December. From twinkling lights that illuminate the night to heartwarming encounters with Santa and his merry helpers, there’s something for everyone!

As part of its holiday happenings, Santa will visit the Museum of Transporation, arriving in style by helicopter.

 

Santa needs to be ready for all those cookies, so he's taking to the ice for a little cardio at the Centene Community Ice Center, and he wants all his little elves to join him! Skate with Santa, pass along your wish list and take photos with him at this special event open to all.

 

Young revelers who may not be able to stay awake until midnight to celebrate the New Year can ring in 2024 at Noon Year's Eve, a free celebration for kids and families at the Missouri History Museum. 

Kids can work on existing gym skills, learn new skills or just play around during Open Gym at Miss Kelly's Gym. Reservations are not necessary.
