Plan Your Visit Did you know there is groundbreaking plant science research happening every day in St. Louis? We want to bring you into our labs, let you explore our greenhouses, and introduce you to our scientists so you can see the amazing things that plant science can help us achieve. Our tours are conducted during business hours and typically last 60-90 minutes. You’ll be led through our building by a docent tour guide. Tour guides complete a six-month training and often bring their own scientific expertise to ensure you leave just as fascinated by plant science as we are. There are parking lots available on the east and west sides of our building. Within the parking lot, look for signs indicating visitor parking (near the front of the building). If all visitors’ spots are taken then please park in any other spot in the lot. Walk towards the circle drive to enter the front of the building next to the Kemper water garden. Explore Our Prairie Take a walk through our native tallgrass prairie - which used to cover nearly a third of the state of Missouri - and learn about our commitment to native landscapes, natural diversity, and sustainability. 1 / 5 Tour Details The tour includes considerable walking and ramps. Our facility is accessible, and we can accommodate up to two wheelchairs per group. Visitors may also schedule a tour during public events, such as Raspberry Pi Jam and PlantFest.
