Parent with Child

Children can walk through a Halloween Harvest Village, visit a candlestick maker, a farmer and more at the Harvest Festival and Open House at the Waldorf School of St. Louis. There will even be a magical guest waiting at the journey's end! As families wander through the Harvest Festival, a short activity will accompany each stop along the way, where there will also be small natural gifts of the season.

Bring a blanket and join in on a morning storytime in beautiful Forest Park. These outdoor storytimes take place on Thursday mornings through October 28 in the Anne O'C. Albrecht Nature Playscape Meadow area.

Surround yourself with the magic of the season as the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House becomes alive with living jewels. Escape the cold and enjoy the warm temperatures inside the Butterfly House's tropical conservatory as more than 1,000 jewel-toned butterflies surrounding you in free flight.

There are two ways to participate in the Jack O'Lantern Trail and Trunk or Treat 2021 at Faust Park.  Decorate your vehicle in a family friendly way for trunk or treat, or decorate a pumpkin, either individually or as a group, for the pumpkin decorating contest. You can also participate in both!

Join in on a fa-BOO-lous pumpkin party at The Magic House! Visitors 12 and under will receive a free mini-pumpkin to decorate in the front Play Garden at The Magic House. 

Trick-or-Treat Town is the fun new outdoor Halloween experience at The Magic House, where kids can put on their witches' hats (helmets), pick out their favorite broomstick (tricycle) and explore everything this Halloween-themed town has to offer. 

Your child will work with others to solve problems, and use their imaginations to transform their surroundings. They'll also play along with Daniel's singable strategies to better understand and navigate everyday emotions.
