Everyone's favorite feline fable is here to charm and entertain your family! In Puss in Boots, The miller’s son is not finding life easy, with barely a penny to his name and no inheritance from his father, save for a useless cat and a pair of too-small boots. But this cat hides a secret: She can talk! And sing! And she has a plan to take them from the poor house to a princely castle.

Join in on the Parent-Tot Book Series where every week you and your little one will explore a new story and either a cooking or crafting activity.

Dinoroarus is back for a limited time at the Saint Louis Zoo. This engaging attraction for all ages features 14 groupings of animatronic and stationary dinosaurs - colorful, prehistoric creatures that move realistically, some roaring and spiting or placidly munching on lush vegetation.

Kids love Squishmallows! In this workshop, everyone gets to adopt a NEW Squishmallow and then paint its likeness on an 11x14 canvas with 3D glasses! Participants will learn how cool colors go back when wearing 3D glasses, and warm colors come forward, making the painting look like it's 3D. Kids get to take home the painting and Squishmallow.
