Like all good things, St. Louis Sprout & About, was created from a simple idea. As a local mother with three children of varying ages, the website's founder found it challenging to not only find an activity that everyone in her family would enjoy, but to find the biggest selection of events on one website. And wouldn't it be helpful to have detailed information and objective reviews about the event? With that in mind, St. Louis Sprout & About set out to be the defining resource for families looking for a comprehensive calendar of events and activities for the St. Louis metro area, complete with staff and member reviews to determine a good fit for your family.
