Parent with Child

On the first Friday of each month, kids are invited to spend some free time getting fit and having fun at Fit Kid: Free Kid at The Magic House. Kids 12 and under who complete a fitness challenge and register in advance will earn free admission! They'll also get to try new fitness activities because each Fit Kid: Free Kid features a different theme.

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.

Engage your young scientist in science-related learning at the Saint Louis Science Center's Preschool Science Series. Through interactive stories and hands-on exploration, children learn about science, as well as language, problem-solving and social skills.

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. 

Head to Eckerts Farm for a free Story Time for little ones featuring classic children's books. 

Enjoy a children's costume parade, a Halloween movie, crafts and pumpkin decorating at the 2019 Shaw Neighborhood Pumpkin Glow and Children's Costume Parade. 

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.
