Science Center of St. Louis

5050 Oakland Avenue, St. Louis, 63110, MO

One of the Top Ten science centers in the country according to Parents Magazine, this facility includes a planetarium and outer space program, along with great telescopes and numerous nighttime programs. Get nose-to-nose with a dinosaur and discover what makes a balloon take flight. Figure out why you don’t fall out of a roller coaster when it goes upside down. Build a robot, a Web site, or a biofuel source. If your kids are into gross, yucky and stinky — there’s plenty of that, along with so many other things that whiz, bang and whirl while teaching the science behind it all.
