About the Saint Louis Science Center

The Science Center is one of few free nonprofit science museums in the country and serves hundreds of thousands of people each year, both within our museum and out in the community. Our campus features hundreds of interactive experiences in various galleries, the iconic James S. McDonnell Planetarium and a five-story OMNIMAX® Theater.
