Thursday evenings this summer the Saint Louis Science Center is staying open until 8 p.m!
Families can visit the new GROW exhibit and explore the journey of food, see a movie in the OMNIMAX Theater (check showtimes here), and enjoy all the hands-on fun of the Science Center usually only accessible during the day.
Also during these late nights, the James S. McDonnell Planetarium will highlight the popular Live Sky Tonight show. You can see what's currently visible in the night sky, including constellations, planets, the current moon phase and any special astronomical events, such as meteor showers or comets.
