Teens and Tweens

The Taste of Maplewood Street festival brings together foodies, shoppers and music lovers to enjoy the bites, sights and sounds of Maplewood. The festival includes live entertainment from two stages, children's activities, and local restaurants and retailers offering food, drinks, and specialties.

Kids, teens and adults are invited to Chalk the Lot in Crestwood! Bring your creative talents to Whitecliff Park where you'll receive a box of sidewalk chalk, a parking spot, and four hours to complete your masterpiece for the judges. 

The new Sloth Atrium, a re-imagined, open-air habitat inside the historic Primate House, opens on April 15. It provides unobstructed views of the two-toed sloths, including Rolo, a one-year-old making his debut at the Saint Louis Zoo.

In this self-led activity, visitors to the Play & Create Space can design a unique kaychain using baubles, beads, and even chess pieces to attach to your keys, backpack, or gym bag! All supplies are included, and no chess experience is needed to join in.

Whether your teen is a music lover or movie buff, this immersive performance will change the way they hear their favorite soundtracks.

It's the food truck event that started them all! Local food trucks gather for an evening of friends, fun, live music and plenty of great food at Sauce Food Truck Fridays. St. Louis' favorite mobile restaurants will be dishing out fresh fare and local brews in Tower Grove Park.
