family fun in St Louis

Celebrate the holidays with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra! Enjoy the family film Elf with a live symphony playing the score while the full film plays on the big screen. 

Don't miss Santa Saturdays at A Christmas Carol!  Get in the spirit and enjoy a matinee and pictures with Santa! Pictures will be taken after the show and are FREE.

See Santa at Play Street Museum and enjoy his favorite snack with him: cookies and milk! Santa will also read a story and take lots of pictures with everyone who visits. Kiddos are encouraged to wear their favorite holiday attire. Everyone can enjoy crafts, playtime in the museum and their special gift from Santa at the end of the event. 

Kids can wear their favorite costumes and enjoy a super special day, including meeting superheroes like Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Batman and Spiderman (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day). Visitors can also make their own superhero mask, design their own Halloween costume and create a pipe cleaner superhero. 

Chose a pirate name and head to the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station for Pirate Quest Trick or Treating. Children and annual pass holders will receive a trick-or-treat bag to use to collect pirate booty (aka candy!) There will be six trick-or-treat stations full of treats, how-to-talk-like-a-pirate lessons from Tommy the Otter, storytelling by a pirate and more.

An adventure 65 million years in the making! The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs the legendary score live to the classic Spielberg film Jurassic Park, bringing childlike wonder – and dinosaurs! – to the big screen at Powell Hall.
