fun for STL kids

Join the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and StoneLion Puppet Theater for a magical winter adventure through the beloved children's classic, The Snowy Day. Ezra Jack Keats' Caldecott Award-winning story of a young boy's exploration through freshly fallen snow is brought to brilliant life by over a dozen giant illuminated puppets and dazzling glow performers. 

Don't miss this once-a-year favorite from Purina Farms! Trucks & Tails is going virtual this year to give your kids a first-hand look inside some of their favorite trucks, let them "meet" a wide variety of dogs and learn how trucks and working dogs have long been perfect pairings to accomplish many important tasks. 

Join in on a family friendly luau at Schroeder Park. Families should bring a picnic dinner, then kids can go play, make crafts, have a dance party and play games. Adults must stay in the park but can go for a walk, play tennis/pickleball, disc golf, or just enjoy some peace and quiet.

Arrive early and enjoy free ice cream, courtesy of the Maryland Heights Police Department and Fire District starting at 6:30 p.m. All attendees will need to observe 6 foot social distancing guidelines while attending the movie.
