Many St. Louis family attractions are open with limited capacity and enhanced safety protocols for visitors and staff. Many are hosting virtual and socially distanced events, which you'll find in our Things To Do calendar. Public health experts recommend that when you go out, follow public health guidelines: wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash your hands frequently.
Family Events in St. Louis
Best of Missouri Market
This year's scaled back Best of Missouri Market will still bring together dozens of the finest artisans and crafters from the region, along with live music and delicious, locally produced food and beverages. The Market will be held outdoors under tents, rain or shine. Masks are required, and all health and safety protocols apply.
Firefly Festival at The Butterfly House
At the Firefly Festival, families will join staff for guided tours, discover the secrets of glow-in-the-dark animals, find out ways to help fireflies around your home, and learn to speak firefly with the firefly code game. You'll wrap up the night by joining The Butterfly House entomologists in the park to see real fireflies.
Virtual Green Living Festival
Help your family live green at this virtual festival. Join in on virtual workshops, children's activities, panel discussions, and exhibitor consultations that explore the links between sustainability, energy efficiency, conservation at home, and a healthy environment.
Great Green Adventures: Marvelous Mediterranean
At Great Green Adventures: Marvelous Mediterranean, kids will learn about the Mediterranean climate in the Temperate House, where they'll find flowers and trees that are sheltered from the cold outside.
Garden Glow at the Missouri Botanical Garden
More than a half million lights will illuminate some of the Garden's most iconic locations, walkways will be transformed into sensory light tunnels providing an explosion of visual magic, and traditional candlelight village displays will delight crowds of all ages.
Seasonal Closing Weekend Activities at the Children's Garden
A St. Louis family favorite – the Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden – will be put to bed for the season on Nov. 2-3, and children are invited to have an adventure exploring all the Garden has to offer before the gates close.
