At Great Green Adventures: I Spy Fall, kids will explore the Missouri Botanical Garden after the leaves have fallen and search the Garden for other signs of fall.
Great Green Adventures are drop-in activities that explore a special part of the Garden each month on the third Saturday. Learn about plants, nature and green living through hands-on activities, journaling, stories and games.
Great Green Adventures are designed for ages 6–12. Adults may accompany up to three children. Younger children may attend.
Meet at the Children’s Garden Ticket Fort. At the Missouri Botanical Garden.

You can always watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, but if you want the real-life parade experience, bundle up the kids and head downtown bright and early on Thanksgiving morning to see the 41st annual Ameren Thanks for Giving Parade.
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.
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.
Enjoy the iconic lights that adorn the Anheuser-Busch Brewery close up during walking tours. Brewery Lights features more than one million twinkling lights, a Kids Winter Wonderland, a nightly parade featuring the World-Famous Clydesdales, and lots of family-friendly activities.
Kids can work on existing gym skills, learn new skills or just play around during Open Gym at Miss Kelly's Gym in Creve Coeur.
