Babies and Toddlers

Families are invited to stop by the museum's Kirkwood Safety Town exhibit located in the backyard of The Magic House to meet with firefighters and police officers and thank them for their service. First responders will also be on hand to talk to kids, take photos and teach important safety lessons. 

Your little ones will get a hands-on, up-close look at many community vehicles, including a school bus, construction trucks, an RV, emergency vehicles and utility trucks at this event sponsored by Rockwood Parents as Teachers and open to all.

Papa and Jackie Wright will delight your family with this puppet show adaptation of Red Riding Hood. A puppet-making workshop will follow the show.

In addition to non-stop live music, there will be great food, lots of shopping from local vendors, face painting, balloon artists, juggling and arts & crafts for kids. 

When Pete the Cat gets caught rocking out after bedtime, the cat-catcher sends him to live with the biddle family to learn his manners, and boy are they square! See how Pete turns out to be the perfect pet for this family who really needs a groovy cat in their lives in this live performance.  

Activities include pony rides, animals for petting, apple picking, a pumpkin jumping pad, train rides and festival foods. 

Adventure awaits at Forever Forest, a nationally traveling exhibit that explores how we use the forest to live, work, and play in harmony. Kids can help construct a mini home by adding wood siding, flooring and more; explore a tree-top climber, and climb aboard a realistic kid-sized replica of a Union Pacific train engine.
