Explore the new GROW Exhibit at the Saint Louis Science Center during its Grand Opening, where your kids can make treats for the chickens, ride on mini tractors, meet Dorothy and the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, enjoy live music, giveaways and lots more.
The Science Center's newest permanent exhibit has lifted the farm from the fields so that local families can learn about how food is grown and where their food comes from. There are many hands-on and interactive activities in the one-acre display area, and many that are designed just for kids, such as a flock of live chickens, a simulated life-size cow that kids can milk and opportunities to learn how to plant, grow and harvest food in your own back yards.
Grand Opening day activities include:
9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. See our feature story for more about GROW

Admission to the Science Center and the GROW Exhibit are free. For more information, visit slsc.org/grow

More than a million lights will illuminate some of the Missouri Botanical Garden's most iconic locations, walkways will be transformed into sensory light tunnels providing an explosion of visual magic, and traditional candlelight village displays, festive drinks, s'mores and great photo opportunities will delight crowds of all ages.
At this free art program for ages 3-6 the focus is on the process of making art rather than the finished product. Dress to get messy!
