Parent with Child

Exercise your child's mind and body with yoga poses, songs and stories during Yoga Story Time, a virtual, free program sponsored by the St. Louis County Library. 

During ABC Literacy Lab, presented by the St. Louis County Library, you can work with your child each week as they discover and learn to become ready readers. Sessions include stories, practice, and play to support early literacy development. 

At the Firefly Festival, families will join staff for guided tours, discover the secrets of glow-in-the-dark animals, find out ways to help fireflies around your home, and learn to speak firefly with the firefly code game. You'll wrap up the night by joining The Butterfly House entomologists in the park to see real fireflies.  

Kids ages 2-4 are invited to explore the world of invertebrates at the Butterfly House.

Bring the whole family for a free concert in the center of the Zoo!

Wiggle your way to Play Street Museum for a bug-themed event you won't want to miss! Guests will learn about squirmy worms and bugs. Each child will make their own "dirt & worms" to eat, search for bugs in sensory bins, go on a bug hunt with dirt, and end the session with story time. There will also be plenty of time for free play. Each child will also go home with their own "little bug keeper."

Everyone likes a treat, and the animals at the Saint Louis Zoo are no exception! Visitors can watch these special "egg hunt" enrichment activities and learn about their favorite animals. Plus, kids can participate in a digital scavenger hunt of their own.
