family fun in St. Louis

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. 

Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Sunday afternoon to participate in free hands-on art activities with fun themes and to explore the galleries. Each Family Sunday focuses on a different family-friendly theme. 

Visit the Easter Bunny and hunt for egg at this annual community Easter Egg Hunt in Eureka. Children will be divided into groups by age for the hunts, and a free pancake breakfast will be served.

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!

Thomas & Friends: Explore the Rails is pulling into The Magic House's station! Surrounded by everyone's favorite blue engine, Thomas, kids can explore the Island of Sodor's iconic locations: Knapford Station, Sodor Steamworks and more.

Your little one can wear pajamas and bring their favorite stuffed animal as they develop literacy skills during Pajama Story Time with the St. Louis County Library.  

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 snowball fights, visit the gift shop and more.
