Saint Louis Science Center, Science museum in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri.
The Saint Louis Science Center is a large museum in Forest Park dedicated to science, technology, and engineering, offering various learning and exploration areas. The exhibition includes many interactive stations and displays that illustrate different scientific topics for visitors of all ages.
The museum started in 1963 as a planetarium with a limited scope. A new building opened in 1991 that greatly expanded the facility with additional exhibition spaces and scientific learning areas.
The center attracts visitors curious about how the natural world works, using displays and hands-on areas to help people understand science as part of everyday life. The spaces are designed so that both children and adults feel invited to explore and experiment on their own.
The museum is located in Forest Park and is easy to reach on foot from different park areas. Since admission is free, visitors can drop by anytime, but should plan for longer waits at popular interactive stations.
The on-site planetarium presents regular astronomical shows using one of the largest artificial sky domes. Visitors can experience spectacular star shows that bring the universe to life in a way that ground-level viewing cannot match.
