Enjoy free crafts, kids' activities and snacks, and wear your costumes. 

Kids will learn the science behind air pressure as they create a whirlwind with an Airzooka vortex generator and make pucks and balls levitate. They'll also launch foam rockets with the Air Blaster Kit. 

Activities are designed to be simple enough for ages 4 and up to enjoy, yet complex enough that more experienced young artists can take their projects to another level.

With school back in full swing, plan a fun escape to Marcus Theatres for Disney's Enchanted Tales Film Series! On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through September 29, head to Marcus Theatres in Chesterfield, Des Peres, O'Fallon, Mo., Ronnie's in South County and St. Charles for an amazing line-up featuring Cinderella, Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid.

Kids can observe gravity's constant acceleration through bowling ball juggling, gyroscope stability through plate spinning, centripetal force with cowboy lariats and much more at this free Science of Circus workshop presented by Circus Kaput. 

Celebrate nocturnal animals and all the creepy, crawly and cool critters that call Missouri home. At Tails of the Night, visitors at the Wildlife Rescue Center can enjoy costumed hikes, campfires, have close-up critter encounters, and take a behind-the-scenes tour of the wild animal hospital. There will also be autumn treats, glow-in-the-dark interactive art installations, and nature crafts.

In honor of Patroit Day, help honor the Kirkwood fire fighters and police officers with a visit to Kirkwood Safety Town at The Magic House.
