This year's theme is Teacher Feature - which celebrates the 100th aniversary of education programs at the Museum and is a nod to the upcoming summer exhibition, Action/ Abstraction Redefined: Modern Native Art, 1940s-1970s.

The 2023 schedule is:
July 14: Top Gun: Maverick
July 21: Akeelah and the Bee
July 28: School of Rock
In case of inclement weather, check the museum's Facebook page for information.

Dinoroarus is back for a limited time at the Saint Louis Zoo. This engaging attraction for all ages features 14 groupings of animatronic and stationary dinosaurs - colorful, prehistoric creatures that move realistically, some roaring and spiting or placidly munching on lush vegetation.
See the Zoo's California sea lions perform acrobatic and athletic feats, including Olympic-style dives on a high-diving platform, flipper walks, frisbee tosses and plenty of surprises. While on stage with the sea lions, the Zoo's trainers explain sea lion behavior and positive-reinforcement training, in addition to the need for conserving the sea lion's ocean habitat.
