FREE ADMISSION -- The Saint Louis Science Center is one of the top five science centers in the United States.

On September 9, 2011, Saint Louis continued to celebrate the game of chess with the opening of the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) directly across the street from the Chess Club and Scholastic Center. This historic building features the U.S. and World Chess Hall of Fame, displays of artifacts from the World Chess Hall of Fame’s permanent collection, and temporary exhibitions highlighting the great players, historic games, and rich cultural history of chess. The WCHOF's collection now includes pieces such as a 500-year-old piece from an Egyptian game called senet, the earliest known board game; a custom-made set of chess furniture that belonged to the American Grandmaster and World Champion Bobby Fischer; and the first commercial chess computer; and a silver service awarded to Paul Morphy, American chess player and World Champion. The World Chess Hall of Fame’s current focus is building awareness for the cultural and artistic significance of chess. It presents exhibitions of artistic and historical significance and offers interpretive programs that lend context and meaning to chess. In addition, the WCHOF commemorates the careers of its Hall of Fame inductees. The World Chess Hall of Fame is now the only chess-focused institution that includes both a hall of fame and a museum, and it is the only solely chess-focused collecting institution in the United States.

We have regular science labs during school year on Saturday from 9:00am to 4:00pm. We have astronomy, chemistry, agriscience, engineering, computer science, neuroscience, and entrepreneurship components in our program that engage teens in critical thinking about science and fun scientific learning. During summer time, we don't have regular components but we do have Summer Time Science that serves the same purpose as regular school year activities while adds to more insights of knowledge and provides more internship opportunities for the teens.
