All visitors receive free admission to The Butterfly House on Friday, September 18 in honor of the Evelyn E. Newman Founder's Day Celebration.

Trick or Track is a family Halloween celebration featuring a costume parade and trick or treating around the National Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood.

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun, where storybook characters come alive! Kids are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time going on a spook-tacular scavenger hunt throughout The Magic House to find trick-or-treat locations and seeing their favorite storybook characters.

Toddler Tunes combines music, movement, and interactive story time to encourage little ones to sing, dance, play instruments, and explore rhythm through hands-on activities and imaginative play.

At the annual Bookworm Brunch at The Butterfly House, you'll meet and take photos with the very special guest, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Plus, families will enjoy a delicious brunch, fun crafts, and begin the day at the carousel. 

Join Craft Alliance every Third Saturday of the month for a free, hands-on craft workshop designed for kids ages 5 and up, along with their parents or caregivers. Led by professional teaching artists, families create together in the Craft Alliance studios — exploring clay, fiber, textiles, metals, and more.
No registration required—just drop in and get creative!

Young artists and their families are invited to complete a fun craft activity in the galleries at the St. Louis Artists Guild. This program is designed for Pre-K to elementary-age children and their families.
