This is a wonderful facility, and I wish more people knew about it. This blurb from their website explains their mission perfectly- "The award-winning Challenger Learning Center-St. Louis provides simulated space missions, science education and teambuilding programs. The core experience at the center is a two-hour simulated space mission featuring an orbiting space station and a Mission Control center. All programs offered by the Challenger Learning Center provide meaningful and engaging science, technology, engineering, and math activities as well as a focus on team-building, cooperation, and critical and creative thinking skills. Programs are available for students, educators, corporations, scouts, community groups and the general public."

They have several different programs, such as the Jr. Astronaut for kids 6-11, and the full space mission for kids over 11. The do birthday parties and scouting events, and community events as well. I highly encourage anyone who has kiddos interested in space and/or science to sign up for a mission!
