First Friday: Anime Appreciation

Come enjoy a night of anime appreciation at the Saint Louis Science Center as we explore the science behind popular anime, as well as experience our local St. Louis anime scene. Try your hand at cosplay, compete against your friends in anime trivia, challenge yourself with the building wide game, shop from local vendors, and so much more! Dress as your favorite character for fun photo opportunities and a chance to win prizes in our cosplay contest!
