St. Louis Family Fun

It's Monster Machines Day at Des Peres Park! See a police car, bulldozer, fire truck and much more up close during this hands-on, free event. Kids can climb in and look around and let their imagination take them on a ride. Kids can also visit the bicycle obstacle course and go for a ride to test their skills. Kids are encouraged to bring their own bikes.

Stroller Tours are designed for art lovers and their young ones, recommended for ages 0 to 2. Morning Play Dates feature artist-led activities and performances recommended for ages 2 to 5.
