family fun in St. Louis

See the amazing sea lions at the Saint Louis Zoo perform for the crowd and cheer them on from the bleachers as the popular Sea Lion Spring Training Shows return. You'll see these beautiful animals perform flipper walks, ball balancing, Olympic-style dives on a high-diving platform, lots of splashing and even more surprises! 

Families can enjoy an Easter egg hunt adventure around Edwardsville, collecting eggs to fill their egg carton at each stop. The Eggstravaganza includes a visit with the Easter Bunny at the Nickel Plate Station. 

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.

The Easter Bunny is going to leave a trail of eggs in Bluebird Park for kids to find, and they will be full of candy! This egg hunt, sponsored by the City of Ellisville, is open to children ages 9 and under and is free. Pre-registration is required.

Bring your kids to Bunny Hop at The Magic House this spring! The exclusive play experience features an evening outdoor egg hunt in the Play Garden, the chance to meet the bunny for a photo, spring-inspired crafts, a sweet cookie treat, and the opportunity to explore the entire Magic House at this after-hours event. Registration is required.

Young visitors and their families are invited to the Energy Stage at the Saint Louis Science Center to enjoy interactive read-alouds of science-themed picture books. Story times are followed by a short demonstration or discussion connected to the book's main concepts.
