family fun in St. Louis

Gather your pack – your kids and your cold-nosed companions – for a pet-friendly visit with Santa this year at Purina Farms. Cold-Nosed Candids are for families and their cats and dogs to have their photos taken with Santa, have indoor snowball fights, visit the gift shop and more.

Play Dates follow a monthly theme that invites close looking, hands-on art making, and safe, creative play. Plus, you'll enjoy performances from guest artists that get everybody moving!

Join the Challenger Learning Center for the Rockets Family Workshop and the public space mission, two great events that you and your child can enjoy together! 

On October 16 and 17, Give Kids A Smile will provide children ages 5 to 14 with free comprehensive dental services. The Tiny Smiles Clinic for ages 12 months to 4 years will be available as well. 

Welcome to Sci-FEAST at the Saint Louis Science Center, a free, all-day educational event about food. 

Join the Saint Louis Science Center for the St. Louis Prehistoric Life Show, a one-day paleontology pop-up event bringing together professionals from museums, universities, fossil clubs and science organizations (to name a few) for a day of hands-on exploration. 

Preschoolers can learn, play, explore and grow at the Saint Louis Art Museum's Wee Weekend program for its youngest visitors. Join in on the adventure as your little one discovers new ways of interacting with art and each other.
