Let your kids have creative fun at Yucandu Art Studio over winter break! There will be multiple projects for each child to make using a variety of materials.

Winterfest will host some of your children's favorite princesses and superheroes this year, and you're invited to meet and take photos with them! 

Enjoy the iconic lights that adorn the Anheuser-Busch Brewery close up during walking tours. Brewery Lights features more than one million twinkling lights and lots of family friendly activities. New this year is an enhanced parade with Clydesdales and street performers, giant branded nutcrackers and interactive stage performances.

You can always watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, but if you want the real-life parade experience, bundle up the kids and head downtown bright and early on Thanksgiving morning to see the 40th annual Ameren Thanks for Giving Parade.

Bring your whole family for a festive holiday experience at the Saint Louis Zoo. Santa will be the guest of honor with treats for the kids and a delicious meal for everyone. Plus, there will be photos with Santa and other costumed characters, a free gift for children ages 12 and under, and admission to Wild Lights!

Your family can enjoy a gourmet, festive breakfast buffet complete with a visit from the man of the hour: Santa. 

The Grinch will arrive on South Grand at Apotheosis Comics to spread some holiday cheer and raise funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children. For a $7 donation ($5 with a toy donation), participants can have their photo taken with the Grinch.
