Preschool

The Missouri History Museum celebrates education and family learning with History Exploration Days! One Friday per month from September to May, homeschool families with kids of all ages can explore a different historical topic—together! All activities are free.

From dance to drama to musical performances, The Magic House presents the On-Stage Performance Series for kids of all ages. Designed to inspire a love of the arts and dramatic play, monthly performances take place at the Story Time Theater or Whitaker Theater inside The Magic House. On-Stage Performances are included with Magic House admission.

Visit The Magic House for Toddler Time, a special early-morning program for toddlers. Children age 1and up can take part in exhibits and exclusive interactive activities designed just for little ones. There are new themes every week!

Hear ye, Hear ye! Aspiring princes and princesses are invited to a Royal Ball and Enchanted Evening at The Magic House! Meet and pose for pictures with your favorite storybook princesses and take part in fun royal activities.

Enjoy some daytime Halloween fun at the World Bird Sanctuary during Owl-O-Ween! See "whooo" will be performing in the spooky shows, go digging in the graveyard of games, participate in a costume contest, craft a spidery web and lots more family-friendly fun. 

Kids can trick or treat, and families can enjoy festive Halloween music, a pumpkin carving contest and more at the Great Pumpkin Glow in downtown Maplewood. The streets in downtown Maplewood will be glowing with luminaries and pumpkins, and businesses will be decked out for the season. 

Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Sunday afternoon to participate in free hands-on art activities with fun themes and to explore the galleries. Each Family Sunday focuses on a different family-friendly theme.
