St. Louis Science Center

I imagine it’s especially worth visiting if you have kids. No terribly different from the science museums in all the other big cities in the US—interactive (which to me means kinda germy), noisy, and wide-ranging in sub matter—except that it’s FREE. Even parking is free. That’s one magical thing about St. Louis: all you really need to go to a museum is a shirt and some shoes.

If you’re an adult don’t miss: 1) Gorbachev in the visual illusions area (you’ll see what I mean—can’t fig out whether it’s a political statement or no) 2) The chance to shoot a radar gun at cars below on 64/40 to see how fast they’re going.

The famous traveling Body Works exhibit starts up in a few weeks at the STL Science Center, so I’ll be going back soon. (That particular exhibit is probably not free, btw.)

This was a good place to take kids. We have a similar science museum in Idaho, but this one was much bigger, and much more fun. We took our (at the time) 13 year old neice to the center last August (2006). It was very interactive and very fun. Plan on spending at least three hours.

There is a very fun and interesting ball machine that reminds me of the game Mouse Trap. It just sends multicolored balls around the museum.

Its so cool. Its interesting and you learn a lot while having fun.

IT’S VERY FUN …........ U CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS HERE .

Gotta Love the Science Center!

Haven’t been since 1993, they had a lot to do that seemed very DisneyWorld style.. Very Cool.. If you have been to the tech science area of Disneyworld than you know.. sorry cant bee of more help other than it is worth visiting if you have to be in St. Louis of all places in the US.

The exhibits change often so one might want to check out their website to see what’s playing in the theatre and what exhibits are there. I’ve found that some are worth it and some are not. Though, I’ve lived here my whole life so I don’t get too excited about the parts that have been there for a long time. Others would enjoy it though.

I went when I was little. I loved it then.

Went back a couple years ago…still loved it.

Buy dippin dots ice cream from the machine in the cafeteria…

A lot of it’s free, so we used to hang out here a lot. It’s a pretty cool place.

the science center is so freaking cool! we go every time we visit my grandma. It doesn’t get old and the imax is AMAZING.
