The underground tunnel, which holds replicated mines, a sewer and utility section, will also open to the public in spring 1992.
When the Forest Park building reopens, it will continue to offer Planetarium and Science Showplace presentations. Space Sciences Gallery exhibits will center on two themes—”Fact, Fiction and Fantasy” on the lower level and “Strange Place of Outer Space” on the upper level.
