fun things to do with kids in STL

Grab a spot at Play Street Museum's Pint Sized Playtime! This special playtime is for kids ages 3 and under. They'll explore exhibits in the museum that are just their size. Reservations are required.

Discover the true companionship of art and nature! Spend the afternoon at Laumeier and find inspiration in the earthworks and living sculptures at the park. Take a hike, respond to the environment and use raw materials from nature – leaves, pebbles, twigs, berries and rocks – to make your own works of art. Enjoy the process of creating in nature.

Halloween parties at the St. Louis Public Library are free! Kids and teens can make their own Frankentoy or craft, watch Halloween movies, and find Halloween candy. Costumes are encouraged!

Have fun with your family pet at the St. Louis Canine Games! The Canine Games offers all dogs the opportunity to participate in fun activities, test their aptitude for canine sports and most importantly, spend quality time with their families. 

Bring your littles to Play Street Museum for its regular Tuesday storytime. 

Kids should wear their favorite costumes for this fun, free Halloween parade and party at the playground in Lafayette Park. Everyone is welcome.

Kids ages 3-5 can explore the fanciful world of Mother Goose and her friends through ballet at this free story time with dancing and movement.
