About

The Saint Louis Science Center is proud to operate as one of the few free admission science museums in the United States, offering hundreds of hands-on, interactive exhibits to encourage guests of all backgrounds to seek answers to the WONDER OF WHY. Located in historic Forest Park, we accomplish our mission “to inspire everyone to be curious and engaged in science” through a broad range of program activities and experiences, such as the OMNIMAX® Theater (one of just nine IMAX® Dome with Laser theaters in the world), the James S. McDonnell Planetarium that brings forth St. Louis’ rich space exploration history, the GROW gallery (a 5,000-square-foot gallery focused on the story of agriculture and developments in agriscience), and more.
