ALL WEEKEND
Fly Me To The Moon Opens TODAY!
Join the Saint Louis Science Center Kids Club Opening Weekend and Get a Free Ticket (to see the show this weekend, March 6-8)!
I blogged here about the KIDS CLUB *but* it has since changed, in that it is NO LONGER FREE. But when you read all that's included (especially considering a free ticket to FLY ME TO THE MOON), it's probably worth it... including an exclusive backpack, a free ticket to a St. Louis Cardinals game, free kids' meals at area restaurants, discounts on other Science Center attractions, one free ticket to Six Flags, and many more benefits. Especially for a die-hard Science Center fan!
Fly Me To The Moon is a whimsical twist on the story of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Three tween-aged flies go along on this incredible space adventure, and introduce a new generation to space exploration and to the historic moment when the world was united for this awe-inspiring achievement.
