What do senses tell you? Kids will learn to let their senses guide them on a walk through the Sensory Garden at this month's Great Green Adventures. 

Meet dairy cows, play games, talk with dairy farmers to learn about how milk gets to your table, see how butter is made, and sample free Prairie Farms ice cream and flavored milk at the Saint Louis Science Center's GROW exhibit.

Celebrate the birthday of Henry Shaw, founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Visitors can have their silhouette portrait drawn by an artist, watch jugglers perform, see marionette shows, watch a balloon artist, witness the agility of a stilt walker and sign an oversized birthday card. There will be free admission to the Garden and the Children's Garden, and discounts for Garden memberships.
