Halloween events in St. Louis

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun! Kids of all ages are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time trick-or-treating at The Magic House and getting autographs from their favorite storybook characters.

Explore the St. Louis Zoo after dark at Boo at the Zoo. Bring your little ghouls and goblins to this non-scary celebration designed just for kids. Though this is not a trick-or-treating experience, costumes are encouraged, and each child 12 and under will receive a treat bag when they leave.

Bring your little one for some indoor trick or treating, a spooky scavenger hunt, pumpkin decorating, games and more. Registration is required.

Trade in sugary candy for healthy exercise and a fun swim in the wave pool! Bring leftover Halloween candy to The Lodge of Des Peres and receive one admission to enjoy The Lodge pool. Registration is required.

Ride the wagons out to the pumpkin patch to search for your great pumpkin, enjoy country music, live entertainment, pony rides, a petting farm and lots of activities for kids.

Step into the wonder and beauty of butterflies, insects, spiders and their other many-legged friends at the Bug Ball!

The Butterfly House becomes The BOOterfly House in October to celebrate all things creepy and crawly. Kids can spy on spectacular spiders, enjoy story times from Miss Muffet and see Live Carnivorous Plant feedings with Professor Von Trap.
