Forest Park's St Louis Center is a great free science museum for the whole family to enjoy!
The St Louis Science Center has to be one of the coolest attractions found in Forest Park. The free museum is full of interactive and educational exhibits, with super cool youth exploring science programs. The center is one of the only free nonprofit science museums in the country. There are exhibits on nearly every scientific topic you could think of, so no matter what sparks your family's interest, everyone will leave fascinated. Between space science, dinosaurs, animals, food science, technology, aviation, earth science and more, they seriously have everything! There is even a super cool planetarium to explore if you walk over the sky bridge. Although admission is free, there are some special exhibits that have additional fees. The only other fees to expect are the parking fee and food if you choose to take advantage of one of the great restaurant options in the building. There is a cafe, pizza restaurant, barbecue place, and more options. Enjoy a coffee and sweet treat in the morning, yummy pizza, or whatever else you could be in the mood for.
Be sure to explore all that Forest Park has to offer. Whether you want to spend your day outdoors or inside, there is something for everyone. There are educational and interactive options at the St Louis Zoo, Science center, Art Museum and the Missouri Historical Museum. The rest of the park offers a great outdoor escape from the city hustle and bustle, with walking trails, playgrounds and even boat rentals.
