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.

The Saint Louis Science Center hosts SciFest: Play and Creativity Expo, an all-day, free event showcasing how STEM concepts, innovation, play and creativity all go together. Visitors can get involved and engage their own creativity through exciting, hands-on activities. 

Get ready to think outside the box, literally! Cardboard Construction: Beyond the Box is a new 1,500 square-foot pop-up experience that invites kids to explore the creative potential of a simple everyday material.

Celebrating the history, culture, and people of Japan, the Japanese Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of the largest and oldest festivals of its kind in the United States.

Don't miss your chance to "meet the puppets" from the amazing production of "Romeo & Zooliet" currently performing at the Saint Louis Zoo.
