Science Center

The St. Louis Science Center is connected to Forest Park by a pedestrian walkway over Oakland Avenue and Highway 40.

Their buiding in the park was formerly known as the McDonnell Planetarium and was dedicated in May, 1963.

The City of St. Louis turned it over to the Science Center and it was remodeled and renovated before it reopened in the summer of 1985 as part of the St. Louis Science Center.

The former Planetarium is located in the southeastern section of Forest Park on Clayton Road. The structure is undergoing an extensive renovation by the Science Center.
