Parent with Child

The Kids Fair/Curious Kids Series is back every Saturday at Eckerts Farm in Belleville. The Kids Fair is filled with all kinds of fun activities for children of all ages. From kids’ entertainment, games and hands on activities, your family will have a fun-filled day. Each Saturday will be a different theme to keep things exciting. Activities will be held indoors and are geared to kids ages 2-12.

Calling all budding scientists! Let's experiment, measure, and mix things up a bit with a morning full of exploration at Mad Science Time. Kids will get to be hands-on experimenting. All activities can be explored freely and playtime is included. 

Buddy is back at The Magic House! Beginning January 27, families can once again make tracks to The Magic House to experience Dinosaur Train: The Traveling Exhibit. Based on the popular PBS Kids TV series, this limited-engagement exhibit, created by The Magic House in collaboration with the Jim Henson Company, takes kids on a time-traveling adventure back to the time of dinosaurs.

This free library program is all about the benefits of play! Parents or caregivers will engage with their little ones, ages 0-36 months, in hands-on activities designed to emphasize the benefits of play. Each child will receive a free book to take home.

Join your SLSO for a fun-filled Saturday morning that will have you and your youngest music-lovers dancing in your seats! The Lion and the Mouse is the perfect first introduction to orchestral music. The fully interactive, 30-minute concert will feature a story, movement activities, and dancers from COCA. This is not your ordinary symphony concert, this is an immersive experience created especially for children ages 3-6.

Kids of all abilities can run, jump, explore the equipment, and learn new skills at this Sensory-Friendly Open Gym.

Children ages 4 to 9 can sign up to read to a therapy dog. This program is free and sponsored by Pet Partners.
