Things to do with kids in St. Louis

This is one breakfast your family is sure to flip over! You and your little short stack are invited to the annual Breakfast with Santa at The Magic House. Registration is required.

Santa is coming to the Kirkwood Ice Arena to skate with guests during a public skate session.

Come over to the dark side and meet the amazing birds that exist by moonlight. Owl Prowls are an opportunity for families to learn about owls from the naturalists at the World Bird Sanctuary.

Experience the holiday lights in Tilles Park, where you'll find thousands of beautiful holiday lights and animated displays designed by St. Louis County Parks employees. You can drive through Winter Wonderland evenings from 5:30-9:30 p.m. except Mondays (for Winter Wonderland Walk only) and Saturdays (for carriage rides only).

Enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast with Santa plus crafts and more at the Purina Farms Events Center during the Breakfast & Craft Workshop with Santa. The Breakfast & Craft Workshop takes place before the start of the popular Pet-acular Holiday Bazaar on Dec. 14 and 15.  Bring your cameras for photos with Santa, and enjoy holiday craft stations, face painting, balloon artists, magic tricks, and a pocket pet petting area with guinea pigs and rabbits. Pre-registration is required. Tickets will not be available at the door. 

Calling all superheros! Grab your capes and fly to The Magic House for an action-packed evening with some of your favorite superheros. Reservations are required.

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.
