Elementary Age

Kids of all ages are invited to ride the trains at Kircher Park. The steam and diesel trains are operated by the St. Louis Live Steamers.

Visit the Doris I. Schnuck Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden for two festive fun-filled days of hands-on activities celebrating the changing of the seasons. There will also be activities throughout the Garden to celebrate this special weekend. 

Children can search the Missouri Botanical Garden for sculptures and think about what kind of sculptures they would put in their own gardens.

Kids will learn the story of the alebrije dream and how it unleashed a whole new art form. Then they'll take their creativity to the wild side by blending fauna and flora into amazing animal sculptures. 

With the new Science Lab, kids will put on their lab coats and step into the role of a scientist. Using real tools found in professional science labs, visitors will study matter and motion, observe the life cycles of different species, investigate rocks and minerals, and explore a variety of science subjects through fun, hands-on experiences. 

Visit the Play Street Museum for some Fossil Fun! In addition to playtime, kiddos can learn about dinosaurs on the Discovery Rug and take a turn at making salt-dough dinosaur fossils.

Follow the bunny trail to The Magic House and get your morning hopping at the museum's Bunny Breakfast. The special guest will be – you guessed it – the Easter Bunny himself! Reservations are required.
