St. Louis has so many amazing sights to see, landmarks to visit and activities to experience. But for those families who have a child with a disability, typical St. Louis family outings often pose challenges.

St. Louis Through the Eyes of a Child with a Disability is designed to make the city’s favorite destinations accessible for everyone, through outings that are geared toward the entire Variety St. Louis family. As a result, parents and children of all abilities are able to socialize and make new friends in a
memorable, inclusive setting.

*Registration for the Summer 2011 Outing has closed.  Please contact Barb Kramer with any questions: barb@varietystl.org or 314-453-0453 x115.

The James S. McDonnell Prologue Room in St. Louis tells the panoramic story of more than nine decades of aviation progress, from biplanes to space travel. Scale models, dioramas, paintings, and photographs document such important events as the first flight around the world in 1924, the first take-off of a jet fighter from a U.S. Navy carrier in 1946, the first aircraft to land at the South Pole in 1956, and the first manned spacecraft to orbit the Earth in 1962.  Click here to learn more!
