St. Louis Family Events

Science gets spooky at the Saint Louis Science Center's annual Halloween party! Bring your little ghouls, goblins, astronauts and dinosaurs to this candy-free Halloween event featuring hands-on, spell-binding science. The whole family is encouraged to come in costume. Admission and parking are free.

Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum every Sunday afternoon for free hands-on art activities with fun themes, special performances, engaging demonstrations and a lively, 30-minute family tour through the galleries. 

Science Saturdays combine stories and science activities for science-inspired fun! Science Saturdays are for preschoolers, ages 3 to 6, with a parent, and are free, but registration is required. 

Enjoy a night of Halloween fun topped off with a view you can't find anywhere else! Wear your family friendly costumes and see spooky sights as you make your way to the top of the Arch. Then families can have fun with face painting, balloon animals, pumpkin decorating and treats for kids. 

Engage your young scientist in science-related learning at the Saint Louis Science Center's Preschool Science Series. Through interactive stories and hands-on exploration, children learn about science, as well as language, problem-solving and social skills.

This Mini Monster Mash is designed for kids 8 and under, so it's full of non-scary fun! Costumed kids will enjoy s'mores as they decorate pumpkins. Everyone gets to take home a treat-filled goody bag.

Dress up your kids in Halloween costumes and take them to Manchester's non-scary, family friendly Halloween Festival in Schroeder Park. Advance tickets are required.
