Flight will be featured in dramatic and musical presentations and in programs about hot air balloons, kite-making, model rockets, barnstormers, Charles A. Lindbergh, and women pilots.
The culmination of the sixweek series is Spaceweek, July 16-21 and the opening of the Science Center’s James S. McDonnell Planetarium in Forest Park on July 20.
The programs are held Tuesdays and Thursdays (with the exception of the final talk, “NASA Flight,” on Friday, July 19) at 10:30 a.m. for younger children and at 1:30 p.m. for older boys and girls.
There is no admission charge.
