The kids area here is AMAZING. All the climbing and water play, and ropes and slides. 10/10 a place for families to move their bodies.
Missouri Botanical Garden
As a photographer, this is a great place for family photos but its also a jackpot if you need a spot to let the kids run and burn some energy. Great picnic spot!
Swansea Clinton Hills Conservation Park
We love the Vine Street Market on Saturday mornings. The whole street is shut down. There are tons of vendors. Florists, farmers, meat trucks, things for kids, live music, etc!
Vine Street Market
The “Castle” park as my kids know it is one of the coolest in the area. The entire playground is detailed and safe with plenty of run space too!
Schranz Memorial Park
Hands Down the best FREE thing to do. Recommend getting there as soon as it opens because its a popular spot for locals.
Saint Louis Zoo
Perfect spot for the toddlers to explore and have fun indoors. They have a coffee counter for the parents too. We spent LOTS of time here when my kids were young.
Blossom Play Cafe
Indoor/Outdoor fun with lots of learning experiences. My kids love this place. Fun for lots of ages!
Edwardsville Children's Museum
There is ALWAYS an event going on at Eckerts. And when there isnt, they have a massive covered patio with awesome food, drinks, and live music. This is one of those places the parents can sit and have a drink while their kids dance to music. A+.
