South City

At Great Green Adventures: Weather Watcher, kids will observe and identify changes in the weather and how this seasonal change affects the plants in their garden.

Come see the floating pumpkin patch at the South City Family YMCA and enjoy a night of spooky fun! There will be swimming, a water slide, pumpkin decorating, family selfie station, and pumpkins to take home. Come prepared to make a splash. 

Bring your kids to an old-fashioned street festival for Macklind Days. The festival features a Kids Zone, lots of food vendors, local businesses, live music and more. 

August means back-to-school for most area students, so the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday is important for St. Louis families to note.  In the state of Missouri, the three-day holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 2 and runs through Sunday, August 4.

Sports Fest is a fun, free way to introduce your child to the YMCA Youth Sports programs. Your child will engage in skill development and games, learn about sportsmanship, and, most importantly, have FUN! 

Treat your kids to a free concert that will introduce them to different musical styles in beautiful Tower Grove Park.

Visit the Doris I. Schnuck Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden for two festive fun-filled days of hands-on activities celebrating the changing of the seasons. There will also be activities throughout the Garden to celebrate this special weekend.
