i dont really have much to say about the saint louis science center. there's quite a few hands on type exhibits. IMHO, everything is geared for younger children. ages 11+ will probably get bored pretty quickly. they have a earthquake machine downstairs that's pretty cool tho. the guy on the monitor talks about what they are and how they work.... more

Finally went to the Science Center...I like the design and that it is connected to the Planetarium, but would have liked more things geared toward adults. Lots of hands-on things for kids, but not much for adults. Forest Park, which is is near, is a gem, though. more

I can't believe that our Science Center is still free. Watch for the special exhibits by checking online before you go. Great place for kids and interesting for adults. Special exhibits cost. If you plan to visit more than once the membership is a better option. Our 7 year old wants to go to the Science Museum every time we... more

The Science Center is great for kids and okay for adults without kids. We went to the night time sky show in the planetarium and were fairly disappointed. You can sit in uncomfortable chairs or lay on thin mats to watch the show. It was less than expected and cost $5 per person. more

This is one of the best places for children of all age ranges in St. Louis. It is absolutely NOT going downhill or too commercialized as previously stated. If you don't want to purchase items from the gift store, then you can easily avoid walking into the store. We love the Discovery room for the younger ones. Parking is free... more

I think the Science Center is becoming too commercial. I recently heard they are putting a Build-A-Dino shop in the museum. Does this mean they will have to let in every commercial establishment that wants to be there. What's next? Discovery Channel Store, Macys? The museum has been heavily renovated and is not as good as it used too be.... more

Awesome! Lots to do for all ages. more

We passed through St. Louis on our way home from the Holiday weekend and stopped at the Science Center with the kids (ages 4 and 6). They had a great time! There are tons of hands on activities for the children and plenty of demonstrations which are designed for the younger and older children. We loved it and will go... more

Our first time visiting...this is a fun place for all ages. There were several things not working when we were there but plenty to see and do. more
