Bring your kids to the Missouri History Museum for the Winter Getaway, for free activities, family films and music just for kids.
You'll enjoy interactive musical performances, movies, drop-in make-and-take craft workshops, puppet shows, movement workshops and more.
December 28: Wild Winter. Learn about animals and what they have to do to survive in the winter. Kids can play in winter animal sensory bins, make a winter animal mask and participate in animal story time. Visitors can also enjoy two episodes of Molly of Denali, and learn about how Native Amerian and Indigenous people have used animals and nature in winter.
December 29: Step into the Story: I Got the Rhythm. Join the St. Louis Black Authors of Children's Books and the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and dive into a playful, rhythmic day of your own at the museum! Kids will hear the story I Got the Rhythm, about a little girl who hears rhythm all around her while she walks to the park. There will also be a scavenger hunt through the museum and hear a story while cast members of The Rep perform in tandem with pages of the book! Participate in a music and movement workshop, explore an instrument petting zoo and more!
December 30: On the Trail. Explore the journey westward during the "Gateway to the West" themed day. Enjoy a special performance by the Fundisha Family Folktale Theater: Clara Brown, which tells the story of Clara Brown, a formerly enslaved African American woman and pioneer leader who traveled through St. Louis. Experience the pioneer lifestyle by dressing up, making an embroidery craft, creating a buffalo mask and meeting the strolling cowboy from Circus Kaput.
December 31: Noon Year's Eve: For those of us who can't or don't want to stay away until midnight there's Noon Year's Eve! Enjoy a countdown to when the clock strikes noon, art activities, winter-themed games and a special performance by Fire Dog before the balloons drop at noon.
Admission is free, and early arrival is recommended.
Winter Getaway is Dec. 28, 29, 30 and 31 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. There will be a Noon Year's Eve party on Dec. 31
