Your birthday at the Children's Garden!
Come explore the Children’s Garden! Your party guests can jump, climb, and slide their way to birthday fun, designed for ages 3-12. We will provide you with a 2 hour rental of the Town Hall including party seating for up to 24 children.
A $200 non-refundable rental fee ($175 for members) gives you:
- Admission for up to 24 children (3-12 years old) and five adults to both the Garden and Children's Garden
- Two hours in the Town Hall decorated with a birthday banner
- A t-shirt for the birthday child
An additional $50 cleaning deposit is refundable when the Town Hall is left clean and in good repair when your party is over. The Garden reserves the right to retain the deposit if the Town Hall is left untidy.
Saturday and Sunday only, for a two hour period from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. Advance reservations are required.
The birthday child receives a birthday t-shirt, please specify size. If additional birthday t-shirts are desired they are available for $10.00 each, child sizes S-XL. Our frog mascot, Finn, is available to join your party for an hour for an additional $100.
Make sure to include adults in your party! The Missouri Botanical Garden requires one adult chaperone for every five children, and the children must be attended by an adult at all times.
- Call (314) 577-9425 to make a reservation.
- Reservations must be made at least 10 days in advance.

The Town Hall is open and available for parties, rain or shine, unless the Children’s Garden is closed due to severe weather. These parties may reschedule or receive a complete refund. Cancellations up to five business days in advance of the party date will receive complete refund.
Free parking is available on site, subject to availability. Additional free off-street parking is available two blocks west at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled party time to allow for parking and walking to the Children’s Garden.
Feel free to bring a birthday cake and child-friendly beverages (e.g. juice boxes or water). While we prohibit additional food, birthday parties are welcome to enjoy lunch in Sassafras, the Garden’s café or the Terrace Café at Kemper Center for Home Gardening. Make sure to remember your serving utensils, dishes, plates, cups, and table coverings for cake. A birthday banner will be hung in the Town Hall during your party. The Children’s Garden is a unique space requiring special maintenance. Please do not bring additional decorations (no balloons, tape, tacks, stickies, or staples of any kind). Guests are responsible for leaving the Town Hall clean and in good repair. Allow plenty of walking time. You may wish to bring a stroller or wagon for transporting gifts and supplies to and from the Children’s Garden. (Sorry, transportation is not available.) |
