Step into the wonder and beauty of butterflies, insects, spiders and their many-legged friends at the Bug Ball.
Your little bugaboos will be able to play games, create spook-tacular crafts and take home lots of loot after they visit the many hand-painted Treat Houses. Families can spy on the amazing Owl Butterflies, which are only active during dusk and dawn.
Admission into the Butterfly House, activities, light refreshments, crafts, treats and goody bags are included in the event ticket price. Space is limited and reservations are required. Cost is $14 per person, $12 for members of the Missouri Botanical Garden, and free for infants 12 months and younger.
Saturday, October 29 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House in Faust Park, Chesterfield.
