Adventure’s pretty easy to find in Missouri, no matter what your interests. While there’s an abundance to do outdoors all year around, sometimes we just want to hang out inside – to escape the rain, the snow, or the smoldering temperatures. If you’re still filling your calendar with fun, family-friendly indoor destinations, definitely consider adding Science City in Missouri, an attraction for all ages.
Science City in Kansas City isn’t one of those museums plastered with “don’t touch” signs. In fact, the science attraction actively encourages all guests to enjoy a hands-on, interactive experience.
Carve out plenty of time for your visit, because you have a lot to see and a lot to experience, including trying some or all of the approximately 120 hands on exhibits, such as…
In the test kitchen, you’ll learn all about the chemistry of foods. Stop by the Engineerum, too, where the kiddos can learn a bit about careers in science, engineering, and technology through hands on activities.
Don’t forget to check out the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium, which boasts a 60-foot dome that holds public shows during the day. Laser concerts are often held in the evenings.
Science City has been closed due to the pandemic. However, it will open with timed admission for Union Station Members on June 10, 2020 with the public allowed to visit beginning on June 14, 2020.
