If you're looking for free, fun, kid-friendly things to do in The Lou, you should check out the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park on Tuesday nights. If you're a city or county resident, you can get in to the Mastodon Exhibit for free ... and it is uber-cool ~ for kids AND adults.
No pics are allowed within the exhibit, but there were tons of hands-on things for the kids, plenty of facts for the adults, and entertaining science videos to keep us all involved and interested.
The exhibit was put together by the Field Museum in Chicago. We give it two thumbs way up and highly recommend you give it a try if you're in the area!
