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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Be sure to visit the solar system rotunda at the St. Louis Planetarium....Awesome!!!!

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.

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

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!

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

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.
Loredai KilmoreMarch 24, 2015
Free admission. Parking is $10. A few exhibits have additional costs, but you can make a day of the museum without the extras.
Paula MadeiraAugust 24, 2018
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

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

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

It is so good. My son and daughters are satisfied. Parking is flat fee as $10.

iMax was great, but the museum is primarily geared towards younger children.
Jon DarveauSeptember 17, 2015
Great for kids. If you don't have kids though it's not that interesting

Great place to spend the afternoon with the kiddos and it’s mostly free!!
