Located on the outskirts of Forest Park, the St. Louis Science Center beckons to visitors who are excited to learn about the science of the world around them.
Upon entering, the Science Center was staggering. The museum is sectioned by types of science — like biology or engineering — and within those sections, there are tons of hands-on exhibits that focus on different aspects of that field, often showing the history and science behind a certain subject area, fun facts and modern applications.
Some of the simulations were more complex, with detailed instructions and explanations behind them, and some were more straightforward. There were also a couple of areas specifically designated for children around Pre-K age. 
Younger children who aren’t yet able to fully grasp the science behind the activities don’t have to do so in order to have fun, but older kids and adults who do understand are equally likely to enjoy their time there. The museum certainly did not feel exclusively engineered towards children. 
The Science Center was very accommodating. There are many elevators and ramps around the building, and wheelchairs and strollers are available to rent for free. Their OMNIMAX Theater, which shows movies with all kinds of scientific themes, has hearing-assisted options and closed captioning available. They also provide sensory bags for free and have “Quiet Zones” indicated by signage. On Sundays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., the entire center engages in Sensory Friendly Science Time.
Some of the more special exhibitions, like the theaters and some parts of the planetarium, require paid tickets, but the majority of the museum was free to enjoy. I did not feel like I had missed out by skipping the paid exhibits.
My favorite part of the museum was the “GROW” section, which features an outdoor pavilion and greenhouse with lots of plants, a chicken coop, an educational water area and more. The chickens were adorable!

Museums are a great, educational way to pass the time, and they’re free! Check out reviews regarding a few in the surrounding area.
