Places to celebrate Mother’s Day in St. Louis

Thursday weekend. Well, it's here and there are some great ways to celebrate mom and St. Louis. Yeah, popular area attractions are offering a wide variety of family friendly events. Families heading to Grants Farm can enjoy Mayfest, a celebration of German culture. The festival features German music, dancing, including a 25 foot May poll. There's also plenty of German food and drinks.

Grants Farm is opening from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mother's Day. As always, admission is free, but you do have to pay for parking. Another option is the Strawberry Festival at Eckerts in Belleville.

The celebration includes children's activities, wagon rides and lots of strawberry treats. You can also pick your own strawberries in the field. And on Mother's Day, moms can enjoy a free Sunday from the donut and custard shop. And if you want to take mom out to eat, the Piper Palm House in Tower Grove Park is hosting a Sunday brunch on Mother's Day. It's from 11 a.m. to 2 p.

m. Forehands Brewery will be serving up the drinks. There's going to be some live music too. And the St. Louis Art Museum is welcoming Families on Mother's Day with a special free event. The museum is offering a tour of its new to the museum exhibit on Sunday afternoon. There will also be hands-on art activities in the galleries.

The family event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Sam, you're a mom. A lot of options there. Or you can just chill on the couch. Yeah, I was thinking, man, Mother's Day, you don't want the kids, right? You're supposed to sit on the couch and relax. Relax.

That's your reward. I like that.
