Children’s Garden is Open!
The Doris I. Schnuck Children’s Garden is open now through October.

You can pretend to blaze a trail like Daniel Boone on a Missouri adventure. Grab your guide at the Ridgway Center and follow the trail to make a craft and collect your frontier supplies. Enjoy some tasty pioneer treats and visit the General Store to trade with the merchant for a fun surprise.

The Children’s Garden is a great place for families to play and explore our local natural environment. This season, look for a new way to discover nature with a child: Germination Stations. Located throughout the Children’s Garden, these educator-led stations are meant to plant seeds of knowledge and encourage growing minds through games and hands-on learning. A variety of these stations will be offered daily in the Children’s Garden. Included with admission.

We'll be celebrating Henry Shaw's 208th Birthday on July 24, 2008 with fun activities in the Children's Garden.
