Sounds of Summer Free Concert Series at Chesterfield Amphitheater

To ensure the best health outcomes for both mother and baby in the critical “fourth trimester,” we have to stop ending the conversation at “You got this, mom” as we walk away, and instead remind her that “We got you”  and actually mean it.

This summer, add a new must-do to the top of your bucket list when the Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape in Forest Park opens to little adventurers ready for an outdoor experience like no other.

Now that the sun is out and our vaccines are in, we can finally ditch our Cheetos-streaked-yoga-pants for a clean pair of yoga pants and head back out in the world – as long as we stick with the recommended health guidelines. So, toss on your mask and hit these seven spots for socially-distanced excitement that will thrill every member of your family.

The creatures in this temporary exhibit will move realistically, some roaring and spitting, or placidly marching on lush vegetation to the delight of visitors. Along the tropically planted trail in this land before time, families will discover the amazing connection between dinosaurs and living animals today.
