Saint Louis Science Center
Science Museum · St. Louis, Missouri
One of the larger science centres in the United States - over seven hundred and fifty exhibits across three hundred thousand square feet - and free to enter, funded by the same regional tax district that keeps the zoo and the art museum free. It began as a planetarium in 1963, in a hyperboloid concrete building on the far side of the highway that is now connected to the main centre by a glass bridge over Interstate 64, from which visitors have been clocking passing traffic with radar guns for decades.
5050 Oakland Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, 63110, United States
