Come celebrate the arrival of Spring in this socially-distant event taking place March 26-28 at Purina Farms! Here's your chance to drive through the rolling hills of Purina Farms while enjoying "eggcellent" activities, roving entertainers, and saying hi to a variety of animals along the way. Plus, pose for a special springtime photo you'll treasure for years.
Tickets are $17 per vehicle and limited spots are available within each 30-minute time window. Pre-registration is required. Receive a printed keepsake photo on the spot, plus a digital version to print and share, as well as pick up a special goody bag featuring a flowerpot with seeds and a bandana. Each child in the vehicle will receive an activity book, and the pets will get treats along with a one-of-a-kind scratch and sniff book! To enhance the experience even more, select from unique add-on food, beverage, and gift options. A portion of every registration benefits Open Door Animal Sanctuary and Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. Help support the benefiting animal welfare organizations even further by bringing along a supply from their wish lists to donate.
The Springtime Village Drive-Thru Experience takes place March 26-28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day.

The St. Louis African Arts Festival, held in Forest Park, celebrates the rich and diverse cultures of Africa and African people. Children's activities include storytelling, arts and crafts, mask-making and educational workshops. In conjunction with the festival, the Saint Louis Zoo will have special activities focused on a different African animal each day.
There are more than strawberries (but plenty of those too) at this festival! Kids can enjoy carnival rides, a petting farm, pony rides, the children's play area and lots more.
Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Sunday afternoon to participate in free hands-on art activities with fun themes and to explore the galleries. Each Family Sunday focuses on a different family-friendly theme.
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.
