For ages 6 to 12. Cost is $14 per child; $12 per child for members of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Registration is required.
Enjoy a boutique show of St. Louis area artists at the Shaw Nature Reserve's Dana Brown Education Center.

See some of the art that will be featured on the event's Facebook page.
Enjoy Shaw Nature Reserve at night with your family. On this guided hike, you'll use your five senses to observe the surroundings and uncover the secrets of the darkness.
Activities will focus on the brain's ability to be fooled by the night and ways to improve night vision.
Little ones ages 3 to 5 will explore all kinds of weather while they interact with other children at the Shaw Nature Reserve. Little Nature Explorers classes are a great way to prepare your child for kindergarten. Classes include multiple hands-on indoor and outdoor activities designed to strengthen your child's connection to the world around them.
