fun for STL kids

The city of Wildwood is holding a community-wide celebration open to all that includes a parade, kids' activities including bounce houses, a water slide, pony rides, a rock climbing wall, and face painting. Celebrate Wildwood also includes live music, fireworks, plenty of food and drinks, and vendor booths.

Kids can trick or treat and enjoy some not-so-spooky Halloween fun at Trunktoberfest sponsored by the St. Charles Community College Foundation. There will be lots of activities for kids, food trucks, and an outdoor movie at sundown. Costumes are encouraged! 

Enjoy a fun fall hayride complete with a chili and hot dog dinner, marshmallow roasting, and a special guest performance by kid-favorite Babaloo. Registration is required.

Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum every Sunday afternoon for free hands-on art activities with fun themes, special performances, engaging demonstrations and a lively, 30-minute family tour through the galleries. 

Experience abstract painting on canvas at this family workshop at Laumeier Sculpture Park. You'll drip, brush, mix colors, and explore shapes and texture as you create a family masterpiece together. 

Leapin' Lizards! Kids will have a wild time when The Magic House plays host to creatures big and small, from a mighty python to a tiny gecko!

Engage your young scientist in science-related learning at the Saint Louis Science Center's Preschool Science Series. Through interactive stories and hands-on exploration, children learn about science, as well as language, problem-solving and social skills.
