Getting to the Saint Louis Science Center:
Even with the construction on I-64, it's still easy to drive to the Saint Louis Science Center. Conveniently located near I-44 and I-64, the Science Center is easily accessible from all major highways in the area. Up to date construction information is available from MoDOT at www.thenewi64.org. To help you plan the fastest routes and avoid construction traffic, use Google Maps or follow the directions below:

Our main entrance is on Oakland Avenue, a half block west of Kingshighway Blvd or four blocks east of Hampton Avenue.
