WASSUP?? Grab your Zune and come “chillax” with the Saint Louis Science Center as we roll back to the 2000s. See bits from our past pulled from the archives and relive the glorious science fiction pop culture. You can test your knowledge with trivia, participate in the building wide game, shop throwbacks with local crafters and vendors, and catch a totally “fetch” movie! TTYL loser!
