The Saint Louis Science Center remains one of the best in the country and is one of the few free admission, science-based museums in the nation. We’re honored that USA Today has once again recognized our institution through nominations for their 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards in the “Best Science Museum”, “Best Free Museums” AND “Best Planetarium” categories. As you may remember, we have finished among the top five in this voting for the past several years (including #1 as the Best Planetarium, #2 as Best Free Museum and #5 as Best Science Museum last year).

With your help, we hope to finish even higher this year! Voting is NOW LIVE, and everyone is able to vote one time each day in each category on every device you own until 11 a.m. (Central) on February 9. We hope you will help us reach #1 in all three categories in 2026 and ask your family, friends and colleagues to join you in the voting. Cast your votes at:
