family fun in St. Louis

Wonderlight's Christmas in St. Louis is a dazzling display of Christmas lights synchronized to traditional and newer, rocking music, played through your car stereo. At this drive-through experience, you'll see shooting stars, floating snowflakes, dancing candy canes and lollipops, giant Christmas trees and five enchanting tunnels of lights. 

Metro Theater Company presents a special virtual event for families featuring local and nationally known celebrities, athletes, first responders, media personalities, artists and civic leaders. A Christmas Carol: A St. Louis Virtual Holiday Reading brings the beloved holiday story of redemption, transformation, and goodwill to life and is appropriate for ages 6 and up.

Enjoy a delicious and magical morning with Santa during Pancakes with Santa at Union Station. You'll also meet the jolliest of elves! Every child can pose for pictures with Santa in the festively decorated Grand Hall and tell the Jolly Old Elf what they want for Christmas.

Your little ones can get into the holiday spirit at Gingerbread Paint & Play, where in addition to playtime in Play Street Museum, kiddos can enjoy painting and decorating their very own wood gingerbread house to take home. 

Little ones can practice animal sounds and meet a few special zoo friends. This virtual program is presented by the Saint Louis Zoo through the St. Louis County Library.

Join in on some Grinch themed fun at Play Street Museum! At Grinch Slime & Storytime, kids will enjoy a special storytime, then make some Grinch-y slime! All participants will also take home a snack.
