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.

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun! Kids of all ages are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time trick-or-treating at The Magic House and getting autographs from their favorite storybook characters.

Located on the beautiful tree-lined parkway of Flora Place at Tower Grove Avenue, the Historic Shaw Art Fair features art activities for kids, great food, live music and amazing art.

Big trucks will be a big deal at The Magic House on Big Truck Day. Visitors can register to attend a Big Truck Day celebration where they can get up close and personal with a cement mixer, crane, fire truck and more.

Enjoy agricultural-themed fun at The Magic House during the Fall Farm Festival. Local farmers will be on hand to share tricks of their trade, and they'll bring along a real tractor and farm animals for kids to see up close.

The Saint Louis Art Fair is a free, three-day celebration of the visual and performing arts that includes a Creative Castle area for kids on Saturday and Sunday.

Some of the best things in life are free! The Magic House holds Emerson Free Family Nights every third Friday of the month from 5:30 pm to 8 pm.
