This skate park is in the lower level of the old Sears at Chesterfield Mall. You can't get in from inside the mall, you have to go around to the outside. They have a small sign that says "skate park now open". They have some cool things for sale including t-shirts and skate accessories. It's nice to have an indoor park so you don't have to worry about the weather. 

I would call before you go because their hours are different every day.

I hadn't been here in several years and it has come a long way! They have really built up the outside with an amazing garden and a Route 66 area.

The Route 66 Raceway exhibit will open this summer in the Discovery Garden.  Visitors will be able to race mini-pedal cars at the H&F Exteriors Garage, fuel up at the Phillips 66 Filling Station, and cruise the mini-Mother Road. This will be amazing! 

This Discovery Garden is large and has so many interesting things to explore, including a water area, a sensory area, an outdoor kitchen, a little playhouse, and more.  

This museum is on the smaller side and has several interactive exhibits including a mock dentist, veterinarian office, hospital nursery, flower shop, grocery store, fire department, pizza shop, and more. 

Photos of the birthday party we attended here. It was so fun and very well run.

They offer programming for newborns through 12 years of age including baby sign language, preschool playgroup, story time, summer camps, girls scout workshops, birthday parties, and much more. They are always updating their exhibits and programming, be sure to stop by and see what's new!
