lots to see for kids of all ages. Great play areas for the younger ones, and learning exhibits for school age kids. Even some fun stuff for the "grown up" kids!

Chloe Cunningham

It’s a really neat place but there are too many disrespectful kids running around. One kid even started to kick my sister. Definitely a place intended more for little kids;a lot of hands-on exhibits .

Michelle K

The Science Center is free but the Omnimax and special events are not. Free parking at the planetarium in Forest Park . Park there and enjoy the space stuff and cross over on the bridge .

Khrystal K. Davis

Free entry. There are many amazing exhibits here. Kids love the radar guns on the bridge over I-64/40. The food in the cafe is pretty good. There's a build a bear where you can build dinosaurs . IMAX.

Lin. Woods

It gets crowded after 12 noon so come early with the kids so they will be able to do more hands on stuff. Also, there is more free parking if you come before noon.

Dianne Carty

Loving the kids camp here for the holidays. My little one was very apprehensive to come but by the end of the day was bubbling over with excitement! Even as a non-member, it was $ well spent!

Lonjay Hemphill

The Springfield science center in downtown Springfield is way more interactive in MO and not as crowded as this saint louis one, so you'll have room to breath. Too many kids!! I couldn't do anything!

The Science Center is an interactive museum where kids (and adults) can learn about all sorts of sciences. My favorite pastime is building a catenary arch out of foam blocks.

NASA

Boeing Space Station gives visitors a glimpse into living and working in space. Check out the crew quarters to see how they eat, sleep, and dress then visit StarBridge for operational details. Read more

This is a great place to take the family for an event . They have a laser show as well as science projects that the kids will really enjoy. Maybe your little einstein will grow up to be a big einstein.

Heather M.

Staff is helpful and knowledgeable ; I have fun every time I'm here, whether for special events or just to visit!

Dakota Dancy

Park in forest park bear planetarium for free or metered parking . The SLSC's lot is slightly pricy .

Loredai Kilmore

Free admission . Parking is $10. A few exhibits have additional costs, but you can make a day of the museum without the extras.

Chad Hembree

My son had more fun here than anywhere else we went in St. Louis. Lots of hands on exhibits .

Jamie McIntosh

Great for kids especially once they are old enough to read the plaques that describe the displays.

Abigail H

iMax was great, but the museum is primarily geared towards younger children.

Missy Arellano

We've had a blast everytime we've visited the Science Center. There is so much to do to keep the youngin' entertained.

Michael Coddington

Excellent, educational and fun, fun, fun!

It is cool, and a lot of the things here are interactive, but there is too many kids and too loud . So you don’t get to experience at its fullest if you’re an adult. It is free though

Zach Hedrick

Awesome place for any age! Everyone can learn something here!

Anna G
