Finally went to the Science Center...I like the design and that it is connected to the Planetarium, but would have liked more things geared toward adults. Lots of hands-on things for kids, but not much for adults. Forest Park, which is is near, is a gem, though. more

I can't believe that our Science Center is still free. Watch for the special exhibits by checking online before you go. Great place for kids and interesting for adults. Special exhibits cost.

The museum has been heavily renovated and is not as good as it used too be.... more

We passed through St. Louis on our way home from the Holiday weekend and stopped at the Science Center with the kids (ages 4 and 6). They had a great time! There are tons of hands on activities for the children and plenty of demonstrations which are designed for the younger and older children. We loved it and will go... more
