St. Louis Family Events

The nationally acclaimed Laumeier Sculpture Park Art Fair is a three-day, outdoor event held annually on Mother's Day weekend. It features local, regional and national artists, local food and beverage vendors, live music, and the Creation Location offering hands-on, creative art experiences for kids.

Kaleidoscope Crown, written by playwright Ashleigh Akilah Rucker, tells the inspiring story of a young girl who awakens to a shocking new ability: with every new emotion, her hair transforms into vibrant, multicolor tresses. This extraordinary change disrupts the uniformity and peace of her small traditional village, prompting both her and those around her to confront their perceptions of beauty and individuality. This live performance at COCA is for ages 6 and up.

See the Zoo's California sea lions perform acrobatic and athletic feats, including Olympic-style dives on a high-diving platform, flipper walks, frisbee tosses and plenty of surprises. While on stage with the sea lions, the Zoo's trainers explain sea lion behavior and positive-reinforcement training, in addition to the need for conserving the sea lion's ocean habitat.

There are more than strawberries (but plenty of those too) at this festival! Kids can enjoy carnival rides, a petting farm, pony rides, the children's play area and lots more. 

Visit the Easter Bunny and hunt for egg at this annual community Easter Egg Hunt in Eureka. Children will be divided into groups by age for the hunts, and a free pancake breakfast will be served.

Kids can explore a collection of big trucks and safety vehicles on display at Eureka High School during Big Truck and Safety Day. 

The Easter Bunny is going to leave a trail of eggs in Bluebird Park for kids to find, and they will be full of candy! This egg hunt, sponsored by the City of Ellisville, is open to children ages 9 and under and is free. Pre-registration is required.
