Babies and Toddlers

Gather at the outdoor amphitheater in Tower Grove Park for a summer of fun children's performances by beloved local entertainers. The free interactive shows are part of the Children's Performance Series, introducing children to the performing arts in a fun interactive way. Storytellers, musicians, dancers and more will encourage kids to clap along and be part of the experience.

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.

Celebrate a magical Mother's Day at The Magic House, and in honor of their special day, mothers will be admitted free of charge.

Moms, grandmas and great-grandmas can enjoy free admission at City Museum on Mother's Day. Bring the kids for a special mom-themed craft project at Art City, then swing by the Cabin Inn or Beatnik Bob's to enjoy a Mom-mosa or a sweet treat at the Overflow Cafe.

Celebrate the bugs of summer at the Butterfly House.
