Wear your PJs at the Saint Louis Zoo for this whimsical, after-hours Zoo adventure! Pajama Party Night features storybook readings at 10 favorite animal habitats throughout the Zoo and a special "Zootime" story at the Schnuck Family Plaza.

At this free art program for ages 3-6 the focus is on the process of making art rather than the finished product. Dress to get messy!

Celebrate reading at the Little Readers Festival. This free event features a variety of activities and performances, and kids ages 5 and under will receive free books and shaved ice.

Guests will also get to meet Fredbird and the St. Louis Blues mascot Louie from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m.!

Beat the heat and cool down with sweet treats at the library.

Wolves, foxes, African painted dogs, and maned wolves, oh my! Learn all about the eight species of canids (animals in the dog family) that live at the Endangered Wolf Center and what you can do to help endangered species. Attendees at this free program will also have a chance to meet an animal ambassador up close!

Master puppeteer Paul Vandivort brings three fables to life including All for City Mouse, Pink Riding Hoodie and The Monster and the Baby. 

Kids can get tuned into learning about science through exciting demonstrations and experiments, including a surprisingly loud dinosaur-in-a-can, the singing pipe and a kid-created thunderstorm.
