Parent with Child

Get ready for a jolly good time with Mrs. Claus who will travel all the way from the North Pole to visit The Magic House! You'll enjoy festive fun as Mrs. Claus reads her favorite winter stories in the cozy Story Time Theater, all decked out for the season. 

More than a million lights will illuminate some of the Missouri Botanical Garden's most iconic locations, walkways will be transformed into sensory light tunnels providing an explosion of visual magic, and traditional candlelight village displays, festive drinks, s'mores and great photo opportunities will delight crowds of all ages.

 

Celebrate the season at the Saint Louis Art Museum with free performances and art activities inspired by traditions from around the world. Winter Celebrations includes music and dance performances from community organizations representing diverse global cultures, art activities for your little ones and much more during this free, two-day festival.

New Year's Eve at Winterfest is designed for the whole family, and includes ice skating, fire performers, appearances from some of your kids' favorite princesses and superheroes, fireworks and more.

Visit Winterfest on Fridays when kids ages 3-15 can skate for free at the Kiener Plaza Ice Rink from 4-8 p.m.

 

Families interested in learning about St. Louis Artworks and the art and apprenticeship programs they offer for kids in St. Louis are invited to attend a free Open House. 

 

Step into a winter wonderland of joy and delight as City Museum transforms into a festive paradise from November 28 through January 4. From twinkling lights that illuminate the night to heartwarming encounters with Santa, Mrs. Claus and their merry helpers, there’s something for everyone!
